Not a music review think piece (ew), but I wrote about how Tyler, The Creator's Don't Tap The Glass is the type of fun dance album that dares to tell folks to put the keyboard down and shake some ass.

A hugely underdiscussed effect of the creeping fascism of ICE is that debt collectors and landlords are filing more cases against immigrants, even when they're inflated or outright falsified, because they know immigrants are too fearful of deportation to show up to court to fight them.

No convention is put on for free, and ConCurrent is no exception. Luckily, our costs are low because of our single-day program. Below is a breakdown of what we'll need to get this off the ground.

Jews are the justification for almost every repressive policy the Right is pushing right now. But then why are actual living Jews overwhelmingly opposed to every one of these attacks on democracy?
Jews are everywhere in politics. Unless you actually want to talk to us.
