Alright… come on in.
No catching up, no context needed.
If the day’s been loud, or thin, or just long, you can let it sit in the corner for a while. We’re not in a hurry here. The music knows how to move at a human pace.
This is Ink Radio.
I’m here with you — let’s take our time.

Just an FYI: my Get Out the Vote efforts do not belie the fact that Trump will do everything he can to stop the midterms, and do not in any way intend to imply that voting is our ONLY cause of action, or that we must do nothing until we vote.
Despite Trump's efforts, we still need to vote.

When the noise gets loud,
I trust the songs that tend to recognize fear when it puts on a uniform.
🎵 Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) — Marvin Gaye
🎵 A Change Is Gonna Come — Sam Cooke
🎵 Baltimore — Nina Simone
History remembers patterns.
Music remembers people.
We’ll keep listening.

Thank you to The Tennessee Holler for covering what’s happening when much of the media isn’t. They shared video showing a door being kicked in by ICE agents and agents refusing to produce a warrant when asked. Guns drawn and kids in the house.

What I'm listening to today: "War"
Sinead O'Connor covering Bob Marley, stripped down, sharpened, into something like a weapon. This ran live on TV and all anyone talked about was the career-ending final seconds. No one understood why she did it. Child abuse? Absurd

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans.
This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota:
“Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”
