KILL YOUR MASTERS, my book on Run The Jewels, is in stores December 1.
It's the story of a bromance that shook music, politics and the world.
I think it's pretty cool.

This dude has some serious cojones:
“My only intention was to express myself,” he told me in his first media interview. “The party installs surveillance cameras to watch us. I thought I could use the same method to watch them.”

Sen. Hagerty on his legal rationale for not counting undocumented immigrants in the census: "There's a constitutional interpretation I think that has been misapplied that goes back to slavery days and what portion of a person is going to be counted."

Amazing how the biggest and most dominating moral question of our time should also be the easiest to answer:
Should a country be allowed to commit genocide?
If your answer is anything other than an unequivocal “NO”, you are part of the problem.

Kudos to this guy. This is effective resistance. Brilliant in its simplicity. Don’t store the data and it can’t be demanded by the fascists either.

![Apple had a hard time wrapping their head around it, because they were like, “What do you mean you’re never going to make money? What do you mean you’re never going to track anything?” I was like, “Yeah, that’s the point. I don’t care.” I don’t care about people’s data as far as, like, being able to get analytics or track them or sell their data. I don’t care about any of that. I care about keeping people safe. That is literally the whole point. Eventually they allowed it on.

Buried in the regime's political takeover letter of the Smithsonian is the worst bit. Unlike exhibits, which are non-destructive towards primary materials, temporary in nature, and reversible, the foundational collections are irreplacable. They want to be able to throw stuff out.

Looks like Jay-Z didn't like having his music used as the background for a fascism-porn ICE ad using Fractur ("the Nazi font") as its font.
ICE may be powerful. But corporate copyright lawyers are more powerful still.

Ah ja, mensen lekker dwingen om door te werken met een gebroken arm en te pissen in een plastic fles.
Werknemers intimideren om vooral geen vakbond te vormen.
En als klap op de vuurpijl alle mogelijke belastingen ontduiken.

Whoever it was who said that Douglas Adams was the sci-fi writer who really understood where we were headed was absolutely right.
It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

Same old shite. If you’re against the Iraq War you hate America. If you oppose the genocide of the Palestinian people you hate Britain.
Lisa Nandy, the UK culture secretary, claims that #PalestineAction "wishes harm on the British people."
That is simply false. It is yet another retrospective justification by this government for its unjustifiable ban on the group.
