my father loved ‘The Harder They Come’ and we must have listened to the album thousands of times. still front of my record box. it’s how my dad taught me about the radical power of music and the freedom fighters whose stories it tells.

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all
Ooh the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all
I'm gonna get my share now what's mine
And then the harder they come

Ooh the harder they come
The harder they fall one and all

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

if you're into dance music you owe everything to Jamaica and its people. clubs and raves would be nowhere without Jamaican soundsystem culture. they simply wouldn't exist.
#Jamaica needs our support more than ever right now and, never ones to shy away from self-reliance, they’ve set up an officially sanctioned website for recovery donations. The footage of Hurricane Melissa’s destruction in St. Elizabeth coming in from my family is HARROWING.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Passive aggressive level 100 this is how we roll in the PNW 🤣 Protesters in Portland are going ice fishing with donuts as bait on fishing polls, holding dance offs in front of ICE barricades in goofy costumes and just being incredibly annoying to ICE there's no violence from protesters whatsoever.

It would be pretty awesome for every professor in Texas to talk about how there are more than two sexes in class today.
They can pick you off one by one. But they can’t fire all of you at once. Solidarity is the only way through this.

Wife: I'll buy a subscription to any publication that writes one honest story about the "masculinity crisis" that just says "Men want to be able to treat women like shit and still get laid" and just be done with it. There's no more depth to the discussion. There is no nuance.
