My band CAN'T formed last year, and wrote and recorded an album in a DIY studio in my basement, 99% live.
Instrumental music that is experimental at times, so not for everyone...but maybe for you?

Of all the arrogant shit this mf has done…
"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."
National parks change prioritizes Trump birthday over days honoring Black people
Free entrance days at national parks no longer include MLK Day and Juneteenth.

International Anthem is so consistently great, it's wild. These five are all from 2025 and they're just a fraction of what the label released. Wish I could just get everything delivered to my door without, y'know, having to spend all my money

Karoline Leavitt: “You’re either a U.S. citizen or not — You can’t be a U.S. citizen & a citizen of another country”
The Supreme Court thought differently as it ruled in 1967 that the government can’t strip U.S. citizenship unless a person voluntarily relinquishes it - not that they care

isn't this the lady who does a new racist instagram political ad in a different state each election?
Valentina Gomez announced her run for Texas’ 31st Congressional District with one of the most vile racist messages I’ve ever seen:
“Vote for me so we can kick every dirty Muslim out of Texas.
Save your daughters from getting ra**d by Muhammad”

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

The streets are WORSE today, at least in some neighborhoods including MPOW's, where there are multiple elementary schools but the streets are an even worse ice skating rink than the last two days! My colleagues are out trying to help multiple stuck school buses. #stlwx #salthedamnstreets

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.
