Hell yeah. One of my earliest memories of ER is fans telling the Nazi magazine sellers to do one. Bremner takes a lot of credit for speaking out, and then Wilko, but it was ordinary decent fans deciding 'through it all together' means *all* together. #lufc

The US pays millions to Professional Bull Riders for advertising.

At PBR league events, bullfighters are branded with slick jerseys declaring the event 'Protected by US Border Patrol.'

At some, the Border Patrol makes a dramatic entrance, rappelling from the rafters as the national anthem plays.

How the Border Patrol uses rodeos to recruit

At fairgrounds full of young men, the government sets up shop to hire immigration agents.

More reporting about how that ICE raid in South Shore might have been as much about evicting all the residents of the building for Wells Fargo as it was to kidnap migrants without due process.

flipinidaho @flipinidaho.bsky.social · 2d

The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

The SHIFT+CTRL Music Compilation is more than just a collection of tracks, it’s the first statement from the SHIFT+CTRL Music family.

Bringing together artists from across the world, this release captures the core of what SHIFT+CTRL Music represents: independence, experimentation, and fearless sound design.

From pulsing house and dubstep anthems to glitch-heavy electronic textures, from ambient dreamscapes to high-energy rock tracks, this compilation reflects the diverse sonic palette each artist contributes. From their own unique vision this is a snapshot of a community that thrives on innovation.

The compilation underscores SHIFT+CTRL’s mission: to give artists creative freedom, direct-to-fan connections, and a platform where genre walls collapse and new movements begin.

The theme of this compilation is music that captures the feeling of origins, fresh starts, and sonic emergence.

Whether you’re discovering these artists for the first time or have been following from their early days, this compilation is an entry point into a growing collective of sound explorers. Press play, dive in, and experience the future of independent music.

Let's Begin.

now that the news is official: some thoughts on Bari Weiss taking over at CBS News, and what it means that the Free Press—a publication that never apologizes or corrects itself when its "reporting" is ripped to shreds—is touted as a needed dose of "trust and integrity" slate.com/technology/2...

CBS Is About to Hand Over Its Newsroom to an Anti-Woke Crusader. You Should Be Worried.

She’s made a career railing against “wokeness.” Now she’s in charge of a venerated newsroom.

I agree with 90% of what he said. Centre-based politics have allowed this to happen. Blair allowed this to happen.
