Then we ponder the concept of "the singer songwriter" and go off the rails a little as we grapple w/ the role and efficacy of protest songs in our current political hellscape. In the mix: Tiktok-ification, mass movements, hopelessness and hope, the violence of the state, and the songs of the people.

from someone who has covered movements for a ~decade, studied them longer: it's not that what's happening right now is "new" (we can find precedent for present tactics in treatment of Black organizers in the 2010s onward, organizing on Palestine and ATL's Cop City, others). it's still really bad!

π¨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.
He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.
