ICE has gone too far - It's time for lawmakers to take action.
We are calling on elected officials to pass reforms to address ICE's unaccountable actions:
❌DON'T assist ICE.
❌DON'T turn police into ICE agents
.
✅DO fund legal help to fight deportations.

Raphael Saadiq, “Radio”
I met this girl named Radio
Said her signal was low
She wasn't gettin' my sound
She kept the volume down
I told her turn up the bass, bass
And then she kissed me in my face, face, face

Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

After watching the clipping. Tiny Desk performance, I went back and watched this Speakers Corner Quartet/ Tirzah video, which has been in my mind since I first saw it.
Anybody got other suggestions for midi controlled sound performances?

I mean, fuck the WaPo but I do appreciate this news.
People who listened to music most days slashed their risk of developing dementia by 39 percent compared with those who did not regularly listen to music, a new study of more than 10,000 people age 70 and over found.
Listening to music is linked to lower dementia risk, study suggests
A new study finds that regularly listening to music or playing a musical instrument may help older adults protect against cognitive decline.
