Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Cheers to Half of You..., by Izak 2 track album

Remember! If you support trans people in any even vaguely meaningful way, then you hate democracy and Americaβ€”so proudly show your disdain for this country by putting more money in the hands of evil trannies like me this #bandcampfriday.

Izak Folk rock for artsy, sensitive types.

So, it has come to my attention that it is, yet again, Bandcamp Friday. I’ll let you in on a secretβ€”we’re endearing to convert our basement into a humble home recording studio. You could help us reach that goal by buying some of our music! And then we can afford to put out MORE music, MORE often!

text reading β€œI think the purpose of life is to find happiness, to find those few true, enveloping pockets of sunshine that keeps your core warm. It is, quite plainly, essential. Happiness is the substance that melts into your blood and turns it golden. It is the spirit that paints your vision a lively shade and douses your limbs with electricity. You drink it and are overcome with a fullness as it fizzes little ecstasies. Happiness is the one truth worth following. Happiness is the only god of many crawling this earth that is worth praise.”

FUN ALBUM ANNOUNCEMENT POST! In Hunt for the Eternal Vibe will be published on June 27th! While maybe not actually, spiritually this is the first Lantern Lens album to me as it represents what I want my 'main' music to sound like. I'm very proud of what I recorded here and I'm excited to release it!

Considering the continued criminalization of masks, rampant spread of covid & other viruses (amidst erosion of vaccine access), dangerous AQI from wildfires, increasing state surveillance, & persistent use of chemical weapons by cops, now is a great time to commit to masking again if you've stopped.

Wilmer only found out his son had been detained after receiving a phone call on March 15 from his nephew, Luis, who lives with them. That morning was their last time together; they had gone around the corner to do their laundry. Later that day, Wilmer said that his son met with a friend to get help with some errands at the American Red Cross. He learned this from Luis, who looked at the situation from inside the apartment: when his son was on his way back, just steps from his home when ICE agents stopped him. β€œThe officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to our building. One said, β€˜No, he’s not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, β€˜Take him anyway.'”

That moment marked the beginning of Wilmer’s search for answers β€” answers he’s still waiting for.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.

An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."

The other said, "Take him anyway."

So they did.

personally i don't think what he did is so easily forgiven and there are plenty of other good bands out there to support, especially monetarily
