BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility.
So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned.
This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.

Recharging with Gil Evans' homage to #Hendrix. I have a regular copy but couldn't leave a Quad behind in the bargyn bin. Haven't compared yet, so not sure if mixes any different. Fun album, some great players here. Works much better than you might think. #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz #music

Nearly a decade ago I came across this yearbook from the still-extant Dzilth-Na-Dith-Hle Community school in Bloomfield, northern New Mexico.
I just want to shout out whoever paid for the ad spot at the back just to say “Hey Man, Rock on.”
I like you.
