More people have died in ICE detention in 2025 than any year since 2004.

The government has a legal and moral obligation to provide people in its custody with medical care and livable conditions.

Have some friends we enjoy interacting with in that space. But, no more. Hope they come here. Doubt they will. Bluesky is great but it seems self-limiting. Would love to be proved wrong.
Well, we just posted our last on Twitter. Saw not some random jackass but "Trending" anti-semitism last night too terrible to share a platform.

Been there 15 yrs, once had over seven thousand followers. Put in loads of our content and tried to be extremely supportive of the whole blues community.

A little stuck on this one. We've been alarmed about the "finding" of fake old blues players this fall. Below seems like a red flag waving. But we musicians couldn't be more scattered in the way we approach our work. Is anyone working to get us organized?
So I'm trying to wrap my mind around the fact that the #1 song on the digital country music chart ("Walk My Walk") was by an AI called Breaking Rust.

(Is this the wrong time to admit this entire feed has been generated by an especially irritating AI calling itself "Riki"?)

Today’s court ruling allowing the Trump administration to maintain its National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C. is deeply disappointing, and underscores how D.C. limited autonomy continues to be undermined by the Trump Administration.

We’ve defended civil liberties nationwide for over a century and through 15 different presidential administrations, and this last year was no different.

We’re not backing down in the defense of our civil liberties against the Trump administration.

Every court that's heard our birthright citizenship lawsuits have rejected President Trump's attempt to rewrite the 14th Amendment.

Now it's up to the Supreme Court to uphold the fundamental right that everyone born on U.S. soil is an American citizen.
Trump's Birthright Citizenship Executive Order: What Happens Next | Supreme Court Takes Up Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Executive Order
Children born to parents who are undocumented or have temporary status will retain their right to birthright citizenship, but the fight is heading to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will review Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship as legal protections for U.S.-born children of undocumented and temporary-status parents remain in place.
