I’ve admired Jason Moran for a long time, but this record is on another plane. Some of the wildest, most visionary music I’ve heard in a while. Equal parts brain-tickling, ear-cleaning, and heart-squeezing.

Our IMPEACH TRUMP billboards have one small problem: Trump's LONG list of impeachable offenses won't fit on them. Our Impeach Trump newspaper ad campaign started today with a 1/2 page ad in the Santa Fe New Mexican, with more cities to come. Impeach. Take back Congress. Defend our nation!

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

Democracy no longer means what it was meant to. It has been taken back into the workshop. Each of its institutions has been hollowed out, and it has been returned to us as a vehicle for the free market, of the corporations. For the corporations, by the corporations.
