Sonny Rollins made way too much amazing music to choose a favorite, but this one always knocks my socks off. Rest in peace to an absolute titan of improvisation. tidal.com/album/299428...

As of now, the Broadview 6 case is going to trial. The government teased their argument this week, and it's not hyperbolic to state that our First Amendment freedoms are at stake. I'm proud to be hosting a fundraiser to support @brianstraw.bsky.social's legal defense THIS SATURDAY! More here ⬇️

Jon Seidel@jonseidel.bsky.social · 6mo agoNEW: The judge and lawyers in the federal conspiracy case against Kat Abughazaleh and five other Broadview protesters are aiming for a trial date in the spring. The lawyers plan to circle back with the deputy for U.S. District Judge April Perry to nail down a date.
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” 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.
From this moment forward (and before, but clearly now): -If you work for ICE. -If you vote for money for ICE. You are complicit. This is the gestapo. You're on the wrong side. You can't pretend not to know.
Anti-Somali smear artist Nick Shirley has been sniffing around Baltimore. Starve his lie machine.
This is insane not just the explicit "go break the 4A" substance but how they knew how bad it was, acting in guilty paranoia to cover it up and suppress the written evidence. This isn't how running a government agency works. This is what a criminal conspiracy looks like, because that's what it is.
Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 7mo ago🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.
Pizzaville in Cincinnati, colloquially called "Lenny's" because it was owned by a guy named Lenny who was also the only employee. It was a tiny shop, just a few tables. You had to walk in the back, right through the kitchen, or Lenny would never notice you were there. (1/4)

Hey Baltimore folks, be aware of lots of 🧊 activity* rn, particularly in Highlandtown *not the literal kind, but please be careful of snow/wet too
Over the weekend, the White House and the Department of Homeland Security shared posts with a song, "We'll Have Our Home Again." I dug into the group that performed and popularized it. Its cofounder said his goal was to create "the seed of an eventual government." www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...
DHS, White House shared white nationalist song in ICE recruitment posts
Multiple accounts run by DHS share references to “We’ll have our home again” song, popularized by a white nationalist group, with a link to join ICE.

We all saw them shoot a boy’s mother in the face, in front of her wife, as she was driving away from them. Do not let them spin this. It was murder, nothing less.
I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.
Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

Pie can be amazing, but it's only as good as its crust and most pie crust is terrible.
I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?
"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.
Trump did the thing, everyone knows he did the thing, and he's got an entire political party and associated media apparatus trying to cover up his clear involvement in the thing. One of the sickest, most sordid chapters in an especially sick and sordid period of modern American history.

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.
People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.
“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

ICE is a domestic terrorist organization.
