ICE. IS. ALWAYS. LYING.

Bodycam footage shows ICE agent taunting Marimar Martinez before shooting her 5x in Chicago’s Brighton Park, contradicting federal claims that she drove toward officers.

The footage blows apart DHS’s fabricated story about the shooting.

How do we speed buses up? There are plenty of tools already in the city's toolbox.

Just look at the 14th St busway.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · Jul 11

The 14th Street Busway has been a smashing success: faster commutes, fewer crashes, calmer streets.

So why is Eric Adams blocking a similar plan for 34th Street?

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

MAE SOT, Thailand (AP) - Mohammed Taher clutched the lifeless body of his 2-year-old son and wept. Ever since his family's food rations stopped arriving at their internment camp in Myanmar in April, the father had watched helplessly as his once-vibrant baby boy weakened, suffering from diarrhea and begging for food.
On May 21, exactly two weeks after Taher's little boy died, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio sat before Congress and declared: "No one has died" because of his government's decision to gut its foreign aid program. Rubio also insisted: "No children are dying on my watch."
That, Taher says, "is a lie."

keep calling and telling them to stand strong

the difference between last time (when they got yelled at incessantly for caving) and this time needs to be a chasm in terms of the feedback they're getting from constituents

we can get them to hold

This and my profile pic are the closest you'll get to finding a portrait with me smiling.

Color portrait of a very young me (Ludwig van Beethoven). I've got rosy cheeks and kind eyes and a small smile. I'm wearing a blue jacket with a yellowish shirt and one of those why lacey type collars.

Kinda reminds me of when I was writing music for a bunch of Irish/Scottish/Welsh folksongs...without a translation of the lyrics.

Absolutely devastating, instead of meeting the reasonable demands of the faculty the board voted to dissolve. As an alumni, EMF was an incredible learning experience and such a shame that young musicians won’t be able to have the same opportunity

In my expert opinion, having written over a hundred Irish, Scottish, and Welsh folksongs, I can tell you that there's no real difference between their musical styles. It's all Scottish.

In 2020, the folk musician Jake Blount launched into national awareness with the release of his debut album, “Spider Tales.” His reclamation of Black and Indigenous mountain music spoke to the nation’s racial reckoning, and led him to invent a new genre: Afrofuturist folk.

Jake Blount's dystopian folk music is an omen for the present

The Providence musician released his first album of Black mountain music during America’s racial reckoning. Amid Trump’s DEI purge and environmental collapse, his Afrofuturist folk hits different.
