What do Zach Bryan, Gavin Adcock, and Jesse Welles have in common? They're all cowards.

Honored to have been part of this growth!
It is hard to believe it's been nearly 3 years since I did an interview with @rainbowrodeo.bsky.social and @rachelcholst.bsky.social .

Rachel and I bonded over a love of social justice and roots music and because of that I've discovered a lot of great music.

Referring the admin’s emergency petition to the whole court would have slowed down getting the payments out. We expect a First Circuit decision within the next day, day and a half. Monday a.m. tops. Stay tuned.
#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Over the last decade many of us have worked our asses off in public & behind the scenes in whatever ways we could on equity for LGBTQIA+ representation in roots and Americana; it’s a serious shame that in the last 18 months I’ve seen many of our gains disappear. We all deserve better.
Unless I'm mistaken, there are zero (o) LGBTQIA+ nominees across all of the country, folk, roots, and Americana categories. We know the talent is there. Where are the institutional resources?
