On January 31, 50,000 people gathered in Turin in response to the eviction of the historic Askatasuna social center. The scale of the ensuing confrontations with the police shocked Italian society.
While fascism is gaining power around the world, we are also seeing a rising desire to revolt.

Some described the movement against police and white supremacy that entered the public eye in May 2020 as a "failure" because it didn't win legislative changes.
But the Twin Cities have been able to resist ICE because of networks that developed then. Changing a broken system takes more than reform.

A Nobel Peace Prize nomination for Minneapolis is really a recognition of people power and it’s the first time a whole city has been put forward for the prize.

What is violence?
Is it tossing a tear gas canister back to the mercenaries who shot it at you?
Is it blowing a whistle at bounty hunters who are trying to abduct someone?
Perhaps, rather than asking whether an action is "violent," we should ask—
Does it perpetrate oppression? Or interrupt it?

The Illegitimacy of Violence, the Violence of Legitimacy
What is violence? Who gets to define it? Does it have a place in the pursuit of liberation? This discussion never takes place on a level playing field.

By bringing people together, we can create communities who look out for each other, cheer each other on, notice when someone needs help, and take action.

The hierarchy of argument/debate tactics is useful to be familiar with, I've found. If anyone throws something at you that's in the bottom 3 categories, you've got to assume they're either trying to distract from the indefensible or are putting their withering cognitive skills on full display.

Murdering a witness means that every single one of us who bears witness is also within that line of fire.
That is each of us here, right now.
Each person that has been abducted, disappeared, and murdered, is us. This has always been the case, regardless of citizenship, regardless of borders.

At the annual David Berman Birthday Celebration @ the Bowery Ballroom in New York City, we were reminded that we are all keepers of the flame, his flame. I hope we sufficiently burned that MF last night! Photos of Hallelujah the Hills and Ezra Furman.

ALBUMS OF THE YEAR
1. Hallelujah the Hills - Deck.
Technically 4 albums but 1 concept: 52 tracks, one for each playing card in a deck. (plus 2 jokers). Astonishingly though, there's not a duff track to be found & in the second half of Hearts, the best unbroken 'side' of any album in years

One of the best parts of being a musician are the stories you collect. One time when Hallelujah the Hills Nicholas Ward was in Madison, Wisconsin, a nice lady offered for them to stay at her place. When they got there, the door opened and he was met with a different message. 😆

ruby bridges is still alive and is being forced to watch the resegregation of our country in slow motion
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.
