Yesss. And that might be why she covered the most songs on the Nina Simone tribute album, and so beautifully.

Feels like Ms. Lauryn Hill is Nina Simone's musical heir.

Another page from the Goebbels book of expression suppression. Closing a venue of ideas and artistic expression is in the same chapter as attacking comedians and reporters.
It's a war on dissent.😒

I try not to live with hate in my heart, I swear. But I’ve HATED Nicki Minaj for almost a decade now. Years ago, someone told me that in a recording studio she threw a coffee mug across the room aiming for an intern’s head. How you move, especially behind the scenes, is who you are.

If politics is downstream of culture, ICE is in real trouble. It’s not just Grammy winners who have spoken out recently, either. I mark the cultural shift, and the political fallout, in today’s piece.

This powerful scene shows something survivors have been trying to explain for decades.

Freeze. Comply. Dissociate. These are not choices — they’re automatic trauma responses.

F*ck those who don’t understand.

Grief stood like a sentinel in public. On the steps of the Public Theater, Peter Dinklage read Amanda Gorman's poem, "For Renee Nicole Good." No spectacle. Just a voice carrying loss out loud. Renee should be here. Saying her name matters. Remembrance is resistance.

I genuinely have no idea how to convey this to the American people, but I think the biggest impediment to any kind of immigration reform is that people are convinced that "legal" and "illegal" are immutable, intrinsic categories instead of a rapidly-shifting arbitrary constellation of regulations.

The Mamdani admin is using preservation, public access, and cultural heritage to build the foundation of social democracy - straight out of the municipal socialism playbook of the 1910s! Pride in and access to civic structures encourages public trust and support for civic systems and govt action.
It’s your city, from the sidewalk to the skyline. The David Dinkins Municipal Building’s rooftop is open & free to everyone, starting this June.

A good call with Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark today.

Greenland’s future is for Greenland and Denmark alone to decide. We reaffirmed our commitment to sovereignty and territorial integrity and discussed our ongoing work to strengthen Arctic security.

What was meant to silence these ranchers brought them national attention, from rallies at the Colorado Capitol to a feature in Jordan Peele’s High Horse.

Now they’re working with lawmakers to push for legislation and are thinking of running for office.

In Springfield, Ohio, people are preparing in advance of a “large deportation” promised by the president. To all appearances, the city is two or three days from a federal ethnic cleansing, grounded in a hate campaign organized by the vice-president and American Nazis.

The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renée Good are devastating and deeply troubling. The strong national response this week shows Americans will not let these losses be ignored or swept under the rug. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progr...
Our Wins Of The Week
While ICE’s reign of terror on the streets of Minneapolis has been horrific, Alex Pretti’s murder on Saturday by ICE agents has broken through in ways news stories rarely do.

Most rights feel like words until the moment you need them. Right now, in America, the rules that protect your rights are being tested at the one place they matter most: your front door.
