Interesting little opportunity here from the @harmonic.fm crew! (I'd encourage up-and-coming writers with particular expertises or areas of interest to consider applying, even more so if you can bring perspectives to groups and styles you don't see much coverage of -- especially in the Anglosphere!)
Today, we’re announcing the Harmonic Curator Fund! We’re looking for 10 curators that will help us connect with independent artists that they think deserve more recognition. AND we’ll pay you for it.

Joy can be a weapon. When the fuckers take the reins, make a ruckus.
all that good old appalachian mountain music is just the thing for convincing me it’s gonna be okay, less because those sad sad songs ever imply it than because i mean shit if guys living like that could make time for music and beauty then what right do any of us have not to

The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for an ICE agent to do this to a 21-year-old kid, who was only protesting because another ICE agent killed a mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

This administration excels at finding different ways to harm our children.

Assaulting and kidnapping them joins a long list -- bringing back deadly diseases like measles, slashing education funding, supporting Twitter's CSAM, and, of course, protecting the president's pedophile sex trafficker pals.
This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan.

A citizen.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.

"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.

Agents took and sold his phone

And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Money is speech, corporations are people, accountability is terrorism, technology is sentient, protest is illegal. Did I miss any of the tenets of 21st century US conservative orthodoxy?
NEW: It appears billionaire Bill Ackman has donated $10k to a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who killed Renee Good.

Ackman has reposted the fundraiser but hasn’t posted about his own donation.

New song at Bandcamp, not yet on streaming. I was working on this the week before Renee Good was murdered. I changed the lyrics in the first two verses. Link in bio. Proceeds will be donated to the ACLU. I took the photo at a peaceful weekly protest that takes place outside an ICE facility here.

This feels like a weird take until you realize it was written by a Democratic strategist.
Watcing some 80s videos on MTV Classic. Don Henley is a mega-talent, but also mega-pretentious. The End of the Innocence is barf-worthy.

This is a really beautiful column. The best newspaper advice writers responded to individual concerns in ways that could help and/or uplift almost anybody, and Rax is part of that tradition.

Fuck yeah. More like this, please!
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.

She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

“Weak and fragile blubbering piss baby” describes every last schlub in this clogged gas station urinal of an administration. They persist only in the appalling absence of judicial oversight and Democratic resistance, and will collapse at the slightest provocation, whenever it finally fucking comes.
this is small comfort given he has state power and i don’t but i am struck by what an obviously weak and fragile man miller is. a blubbering piss baby whose entire affect and personality is an attempt to make up for his profound feelings of inadequacy
MILLER: The US is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere. We're a superpower. It's absurd we'd allow a nation in our backyard to become a supplier of resources to our adversaries

TAPPER: Sovereign countries shouldn't be able to do what they want?

My attitude on this is that I'm not calling them because I think I can change their minds.

I'm calling them because it is unthinkable to let them do this without hearing how evil and awful they are.

My spite powers me. If I can get just 500 people a day to join me, we could fuck up their day.
I call Tommy Tuberville every fucking week, multiple times a week, because he can be evil but I don't have to let him do it without pushback.

So I don't need to hear excuses. I call the dumbest senator in the country. 😂
