Lucinda Williams is opening her own bar, and, no, it’s not in Nashville. Rather, the Americana grand dame is bringing country music and honky-tonk vibes to New York’s East Village with “Lucinda’s,” making its official debut on Thursday at 169 Avenue A

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list.
I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants.
Inaction is complicity.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

“We did steal from the state”
Robin Smith, who pleaded guilty, told the court they stole — but Casada/Cothren lawyers downplay the amount ($51,000) saying it was pre-expenses, and claim it isn’t up to Smith to say if they “stole” it since they delivered the mail pieces.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.
