Seemingly ICE are on this platform with a verified account.

I'm not prepared to use a platform that will accept them as users.

I'm gone from here until they are.

Fuck ICE.
Fuck collaborator platforms.

Blair ffs!

'citin'

wait... 30 Jan not 10 Jan

New Hania Rani release 10 Jan.

Based on the track I've heard so far, it's going to be more beautiful stuff from her.

Also seeing her at Chalk in Brighton was probably the best live sound at a gig I've ever experienced.

2-3pm: MAS 555 WHY

📣 * Dial in - it's the last MAS 555 WHY show!

A journey through odd liminal transmissions.

Welcome to mas 555 wHY. An exploration of strange intercepted transmissions.

Troll, Grifter, Scammer, War Profiteer, by Bit Cloudy from the album U.S. Nadir

oh america
bitcloudy.bandcamp.com/track/troll-...

it's such a cliche to compare people to Nazis, but I can't think of a closer comparison.

There are people who don't know, who didn't know. Moments like these are when they learn, and a window opens for people who want to turn their hunger for justice into action, for our numbers to increase. Stay mad and don't get jaded, in my opinion, get the newly passionate on board. 2/2

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

"Hello, Trevor here, and this is episode one‑six‑four of the Virtual Cassette Library.
