track by Brad Engler

Beyond These Walls is among three tunes I recorded this summer that will be released as an EP…sometime…likely after they’re done. Right?
I have someone working on this a whole other state, now. Hot damn.

SCOOP: Social Security workers are being told to give the details of appointments customers are making to ICE, raising the prospect of secret police abducting people going to mandatory SSA appointments. @zoeschiffer.bsky.social, @telliotter.bsky.social, and @leahfeiger.bsky.social have more.
Social Security Workers Are Being Told to Hand Over Appointment Details to ICE
The recent request goes against decades of precedent, and puts noncitizens at further risk of immigration enforcement actions.

Shortly after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, right-wing media seized on a story that could reset the narrative. DHS said an immigrant attacked federal officers with a shovel, and the story was everywhere in MAGA media. The case has since fallen apart & prosecutors just dropped the charges.

Chuck D scoffed at Gene Simmons’ argument that hip-hop doesn’t belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
“Everything else other than rock, when rock ‘n’ roll splintered in the ’60s, is the roll...KISS are rock gods, but they don’t have a lot of roll to them.”

This is the good kind of not-in-my-backyard. Leave solar and wind projects alone, and focus on this instead NIMBYs.
new from me: it's interesting that one of the biggest roadblocks we're seeing to ICE buying up warehouses to convert into modern day concentration camps for detained immigrants is conservative NIMBYs (non-derogatory, for once) saying "not here, thanks"

Be careful, folks. ICE is still out there, circling the schools this morning. Even if this withdrawal is happening over the next week, some of the agents want to get their last bit of being shitheads in.
