Sometimes I need a soundtrack to go with screaming into the void….

Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping. Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Also note that I’m a bit of a polyglot who listens to music in many different languages, so give it a chance if it’s not in a language you understand. Look up the lyrics and translate them.
Maybe you’ll find something new you connect with.

As they say, music soothes the savage beast, but honestly, I’m not sure I want to be soothed right now.
So I’m going to start posting listening suggestions to some music that’s speaking to me, and most of it will not be soothing. Sorry not sorry.
I have no words, but I have music.

The grammar on this post is really telling on themselves…

Republican karma is repeating “Immigrants are taking our jobs!” “Immigrants are destroying our society!” so much, they actually manifested it. Except it’s just the immigrants they welcomed to their side who are killing jobs and causing global existential danger. Irony or hubris? You decide.
