Toronto-based Mexiacan musician cancels U.S. tour after ICE shootings, amid fears over personal safety | CBC News Industry reps say Canadian musicians are increasingly concerned about touring the U.S., traditionally their biggest market, amid rising political tensions and Trump's immigration crackdown.

“I don't think my documents would matter. At the end of the day, the person is going to judge you by your skin colour... Literally no one in the United States can guarantee my safety while I travel with my Mexican passport." www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

graph tracking democratic backsliding is occuring more quickly in the US than elsewhere.

New from me: It is not just that the US is experiencing democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has emerged more quickly than in other benchmark countries.

This graph from John Burn-Murdoch sums it up. 🧵

Lies and Lawlessness The Camps, the Executions, and the Future

We have to see the logic of the killings as well as the killings themselves. The horror is a truth in itself. But it is also a sign of a political logic, one known from the totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century.

Cracking thin ice (aka the only good kind of ice): did you know #ice acts like a resonant plate, similar to a drum? The "body" of the sound is the resonance of the ice ~1300 Hz; the sharp snap of ice fracturing ~10,000 Hz. Short #asmr video: www.youtube.com/shorts/hbB9H...

Feel this so much. My consolation in moments like this is even though my work is trash compared to so many, dammit I'm going to get better...!

Tempting though it is to feel like that when measured against such great artists that’s not what music is/should be about. It’s not a competition. Express yourself with the skill set you have.

Hope this quote you included proves true + and I'll be doing what I can to help... “I believe that Toronto, already the most diverse city in the world, will become a global center for fighting the spread of fascism, and I believe I can help in that transformation.” - Jason Stanley.

"Substantive policies and eloquent speeches will both be needed if Canada is going to live up to its potential as a defender of democracy and redoubt against the spread of fascism and other forms of tyranny."

When we made our faith leaders Call To #Minneapolis last week we had hopes of gathering at least 100.

Guess what(!) 600+ clergy from around the country showed up, were trained & grounded for action yesterday & are taking those lessons into action with our partners RN.

More later from me. #iceout

"The strong do what they can, until the moment they discover that “what they can” was always bounded by what others were willing to tolerate. Athens found out in Sicily; the question is where America finds out."

Trump is always going to get worse - today is the best he'll be, tomorrow's going to be worse. World leaders and business leaders need to stop placating and tiptoeing, and join together to push back on his lawlessness, his cruelty, and his corruption. Basic "how to handle a bully" stuff.
