I'm past trying to convince national Democrats of stuff, and posting on social media wouldn't do that anyway. But I really believe that there is an immense latent appetite in this country to BURY these fucking bullies, here and elsewhere, and that doing so is work many people want to be a part of.

My rep Mr. Thanedar is one of the most opportunistic hacks in all of congress but if even he can tell which way the wind is blowing everyone else has no excuse
Democratic U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar of Detroit is calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump over his handling of a wrongfully deported Maryland man back to his native El Salvador.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

This may be one of the worst moments in history to fetishize the law or the quality of being law-abiding.

Aside from being a terrible idea, it’s hard to imagine that this is actually true. There’s no quick or easy way to digitize 14,000 tapes, it’s far more likely that they just threw them in the trash or didn’t do anything at all.

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

After repeatedly violating every single commitment under the ceasefire, Israel is now fully resuming the genocide of the already destroyed Gaza concentration camp.

The world is watching.

History will remember who stood on the sidelines of this unspeakable atrocity.

Finally found a copy of the best “Michigan Noise” 7 of the 80s (and ever?) that has the tracklist. I think about “Walk w Disc” almost every day

Playing “moody” oldies tomorrow (Thursday) with @shelleyginkgo.bsky.social and Tyler Hicks at Outer Limits Lounge if any southeast Michigan folks see these posts and want something to do

Been listening to this one a lot, Olinga really nails the intersection of “cool composition” with “the crew is just kickin it for a side” style

Mike Huckaby’s All It Takes is maybe my favorite “dub techno” track, hits hardest driving around in the snow but sounds incred at home
