Sometimes #communityradio is being with your best friend in hospital all day as she dies from cancer that wouldn’t stop spreading. And then crossing icy lots to keep moving things from old studio to new to help realize her dream of getting WRIR into a permanent home. @onehitwanda.bsky.social

I put together another fairly political playlist for this week. And then my brain went all nonsense songs and I came up with an additional two hours of wackiness. So what do y’all want to hear? Serious? Wackiness? Or a ping pong of both?

🥶If you’re at home, in the path of winter storms, & have heat, now is a good time to locate those drafty places in yr home & stuff them with weatherstripping / plastic bags / cardboard to block the cold air. Keep yourself safe!

I’ve added a GRAPHIC LABEL to this slow motion capture because it is graphic, violent, and heartbreaking. In the video, the ICE thug in the gray clearly shoots Alex Pretti multiple times. If you have any people who believe the administration’s lies, show them this.

VA nurse Alex Pretti was executed and the footage contradicts every lie the administration is trying to feed the public.

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

We are not the first people, or the first country, to suffer under a tyrannical government that does not respect our lives, or our rights.

There is a method for how to effectively resist, and eventually topple, such a regime. We can learn from others who came before us.

This is my favorite guide.

Abolish ICE and prosecute everyone who stays in it from this day forward as members of a criminal conspiracy to commit murder.

AOC: They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand

I would implore my Democratic colleagues in the senate to vote no
