Mostly organic material and a series of vibrations registering as sound.
Abides in the liminal space between the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, where nothing is quite real and anything is possible.
Drums, mandolin. Rarely at the same time.

The universe winds down. That's how it's made.
But memory is everything to lose;
Although some of the colors have to fade,
Do not believe you'll get the chance to choose.
Regret, by definition, comes too late;
Say what you mean. Bear witness. Iterate.
~ John M. Ford

Will never not be jarring to see armed goons demanding people’s papers on the street in the United States of America like it’s Nazi Germany. Fuckin nightmare scenes.
This woman is harder than goddamn steel dealing with these goddamn thugs. I want her to be my neighbor.

Nature? Nurture? Doesn’t matter anymore. But they shouldn’t be cops. And they absolutely shouldn’t be parents.

Thinking to myself about the time I was in a rural village in central Honduras with a team from the ministry of health that was administering the rotavirus vaccine for the first time and there were mothers with infants lined up down the road to protect their babies’ lives

“CBP agents walked door-to-door, knocking on car windows and asking drivers if they were citizens. Green card holder Joel Keleekai watched nervously as an agent held his ID up to a cell phone as he checked his information.”

Fear not the chuds, for they were born chuds and will die chuds. They believe with their whole hearts that they can punch their way to respect because that’s what their dads did to them and their moms and siblings and they took the wrong lesson from that. Don’t fear their trauma; it is theirs alone.

Re-upping this. I don't think there's enough pieces that are covering what it is like to live in Minneapolis right now, as just an ordinary person. There are reports of the high level facts. There are stories from rapid responders and the like, and a stream of videos. But what's the whole picture?
If you are a freelance writer in Minneapolis who wants to write something about the situation there, please reach out to me at adam @ liberalcurrents dot come or message me on signal. Note that I have something specific in mind, this isn't about sending me pitches

It's absolutely insane that there are thousands of parents in Minnesota standing in front of their kids schools who have to worry about getting killed by their own government because they want to protect their kids' classmates, teachers, and fellow parents.

once you realize they're not even recruits fresh out of boot camp but 1/4 trained thugs dragged out of shithole towns you've never heard of

This video is the perfect encapsulation of the illegal, thuggish, unprovoked, violent conduct of ICE. Rep. @benniethompson.bsky.social, I trust that you and the House Homeland Security Committee will have interest in this.

Realized I hadn't seen one of my kid's teammates in a couple of weeks. Checked with the coach and his family is not leaving the house. Fucking cool country we have where an 11 year old can't play soccer with his buddies.

Protesters clashed with federal agents for another night outside the Whipple Federal Building, which holds ICE detainees. Agents fired less-lethal munitions and deployed chemical irritants at the crowd.

Journalists often go on hand-fed ride-alongs with agents.
Seldom, though, do they get into the cars of everyday people protecting their communities from those same agents.
We just did exactly that, in ICE-occupied Minneapolis:

I can’t emphasize enough how shocked my out of state friends and family are when I tell them what has happened in Minneapolis since Renee Good’s murder.
Without reliable media, most not-chronically-online people are completely in the dark. If you want to help Minnesota, tell people what you know.
