In retrospect... A bit disappointed, but not surprised? Thought Golden or APT. might get pop song of the year, and thought APT. might get more recognition thanks to the Bruno of it all, but so it goes.
I am so excited for tonight being a big night for artists & songwriters drawing on K-pop and many amazingly talented folks getting their laurels, but I also have thoughts about what’s happening notesonkpop.com/k-pop-the-id...
K-pop the idea not K-pop the institution reigns at the Grammy's
I'm in Seoul at the moment, so a bit slower to write than I usually am, but have spent a lot of my time walking through shopping centers and outside of stores blasting music thinking about what K-pop ...

Not ICE, but CBP.
ICE is terrible, but CBP is orders of magnitude worse. In many ways, abolishing or radically overhauling CBP is of greater urgency than ICE, but likely tougher to do.
One can argue that ~all of ICE's duties can be reallocated. Harder to say that with CBP.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”
This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker

I think they’re trying to get Black people to the streets because shooting white people isn’t working out for them narratively.
I'd look at this as a shore up the base move, but it's just fan service for the base and does nothing in terms of getting TrumpCo out of their deepening hole. I suppose they believe they can seize control of the country by shock and awe with the support of about a third of the voters.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

baffling that the media isn’t making more of an issue out of how carney is gutting key federal agencies/depts and what that’s going to mean for gov capacity when we’re supposed to be more independent and capable.

Super glad Mark Carney laid off 1,400 food inspectors today.
There's a massive food recall (including Cheerios, how I found out) yet the only news article I can find about it is on People dot com. What is going on?
