Georgia Fort & Don Lemon were arrested for documenting ICE protests in MN. This admin is trying to intimidate and silence journalists who are doing their job & exposing abuses of power.

The blatant assault on the press & on the First Amendment are unconstitutional & are eroding our democracy.

The arrests are tied to a demonstration at a church that has a pastor who is also an ICE official.

Don Lemon is not the only reporter who was arrested by federal agents overnight — local independent journalist Georgia Fort just went live on FB to say federal agents were also at her door to take her into custody over her protest coverage in Minneapolis.

Monday's slow, deep #ambient #guitar #improv is now out; $0/name-your-price. Instead of buying it, consider donating to a mutual aid organization. Or if you do buy it, *I'll* donate to a mutual aid org. snwv.bandcamp.com/album/music-...

Does anyone know Maurice Tappe in Bielefeld? He's signed up for something and used my email address for it.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”
House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough — DHS Must Go, Too
“The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

This week's composition is a reflective three-guitar thing, written and assembled intuitively. weeklybeats.com/onezero/musi...

Intuition
A...well, intuitively structured piece for this weekend, kind of interior and reflective. I had thoughts about what kind of piece to do this week, which all got abandoned when I started playing Friday...

I had no idea field recordings like this even existed! This is music I should have heard, music I wish I’d discovered sooner. As someone who goes to the hospital every year for tests, it feels like I’m back in my hometown. If you’re interested, definitely give it a listen!

Most ridiculous concert story: I was a performer at an anarchist festival, doing a Morton-Feldman-inspired piece with metal-trio instrumentation. Just before going on, our promised 1/2-hour set was shortened to 15 minutes. At 12 minutes, we were asked to stop.
Wes Borland from Limp Bizkit doing electronic music/installation. It looked like he bought some super expensive equipment and just mashed buttons randomly for an hour.

What’s your most ridiculous concert story? Mine is that I saw a Phish show with the drummer from Hanson.
