That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

Hey Minnesotans. Have your bosses sent you a mealy-mouthed email about how to remain productive during these troubled times or some other example of non-committal, faux-concerned corporate-speak? We want to publish a bunch of these. Send examples to keith at racketmn.com. You will NOT be identified.

It's worth your time to call Hilton to cancel your account with them. 1-800-446-6677. Here's why:
They asked me if it was because of the ICE thing. I said it was. Then they suggested I wait a couple days to see if they were going to change course.
The pressure is getting to them. Let's keep it up.

Fuck yes. One of 2025’s highlights was helping older neighbors clean out their apt and finding out they knew/worked with David. They showed photos, told stories and sent me home with a 45-yo signed poster.
so many lil rivers and tributaries that made up the ocean called ‘punk’ but if ya want to pick out the mississippi? it’s david johansen.
idk where the fuck i was trying to go with that analogy, but david, new york dolls, and that whole early 70s scene set the table for 77-80s punk and hardcore

Remembering David Johansen, aka Buster Poindexter, songwriter and member of the influential proto-punk band New York Dolls, born in Staten Island, New York, who would have celebrated his 76th birthday today.
