If you’re in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area, we need people with their whistles on visibly out on patrol. Even if it’s just a walk on your lunch break or while you walk your dog, it matters. This is an all hands on deck day. Whatever you can do. ICE is heavily present in the area. Hope I see you.

And Louis Armstrong is forgotten without Marconi’s radio, Edison’s phonograph, and whoever the poor forgotten Austrian schlub who added valves to whatever came before a trumpet. Chuck Berry is who if the Chess brothers don’t tell him to go electric. The cultures wash over and enhance each other

Platner, being an American, and just a kid at the time, was almost certainly ignorant of the symbology of that version of skull and cross bones. His positions on policy say that is most likely so. Also, don’t get tattoos, they’re permanent, can give you hepatitis, and are a good marker lowselfesteem

The Nazis actually killed union members since the were obviously communist. Just an asinine position to take. Also Jimmy Page ran around in an SS officers cap for years , not a Nazi. Hugo Boss just designed some cool stuff, and if your ignorant of the origins of the design, it looks good

Platner is only a nazi if you don’t know what a Nazi is. He’s pro universal healthcare, the Nazis just killed the infirm. He’s anti big business, Nazis created alliances with big business. He’s pro indigenous rights, Nazis killed them too. And he’s pro union, the Nazis banned them.

White people have been acting this way since the Irish started coming over. They weren’t considered white enough at the time, despite the sunburn. And if you think that any minority population would act any different if the positions were reversed, that’s bananas. People are people and theysuck

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

David Bowie -Let's Dance

One of my fave Bowie tracks which isn't short on references to music genres. Two for the price of one.

🎶 Let's dance
Put on your red shoes and dance the blues🎶

Soft secession. Blue states building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, and creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.

“Without state cooperation, much of the federal government’s agenda becomes unenforceable.”
It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”
Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.

Absolutely. There is Bach in Eleanor Rigby and the whole language of music goes back to the Gregorian Chants. But, at some point stylistic cribbing and other lifting of sounds and sequences becomes parody. What’s the difference from an artist taking a whole recording with new lyrics and Weird Al?

And 36 years ago is about when records started sounding like crap, maybe 40ish with the shift to digital recording. There are a ton of records from the 80’s that need a remaster ( ie both Firm albums)
