@allclassicalradio.bsky.social Tried to send an email a while ago to the address given by Suzanne, the Sunday brunch host, but it bounced? Is the address suzanne@allclassical.org not correct? What am I missing?

@allclassicalradio.bsky.social What was that song in Spanish "Recuérdame..." from that just played on Sunday Brunch today (August 31st)? I caught it in the middle. Was it one of the "five pieces from Venezuela" on the playlist?

The Abrego Garcia fiasco keeps getting worse. The way Trump and the WH are bringing the full weight of their propaganda and legal machines to destroying this one day laborer is an extraordinary abuse of power.

Awesome! What's the real name of that coffee shop (or what was it in the 90s)? Was that canonically on the same block?

Masked ICE goons grabbed Enrique Lozano in front of a Culver City, CA church. A Community Coalition helped the family identify the abandoned cart, locate his belongings. For 20 years, loved in the community. "Hardened criminals" - my ass.

Trump & the GOP have:
-Killed CFPB rules saving consumers $15B in overdraft and credit card late fees
-Dropped 22 CFPB actions against corporate lawbreakers
-Halted $100M in restitution owed to student borrowers
They're on corporate predators' side, not yours.

@allclassicalradio.bsky.social I noticed that the playlist sometimes goes a long time without an update. Last update today was at 9:53 AM and it's almost two hours later. Surprised it's not automated somehow.

This shit is Un-American. Did these assholes even have badges?
ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A.
After realizing he’s American, they just slink away.
Their only explanation: “Why were you running?”
Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
