I'm excited to be back in the world talking to readers about my book BLACK WOMEN TAUGHT US with the Dayton Metro Library on Nov 6 at 6pm ET.

This event aligns with Shirley Chisholm becoming the first Black woman elected to Congress in Nov 1968.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Veterans react to Hegseth’s ‘insulting’ address to generals and admirals Defense secretary’s speech touching on physical fitness and doctrine of lethality was seen as ‘egotistical’ and ‘dangerous’ Naveed Shah, a veteran and activist who served as an enlisted public affairs specialist – an army journalist – uncharacteristically found himself searching for words to describe the address of the newly styled secretary of war to flag officers on Tuesday. “A lot of the words that are coming to me aren’t fit to print,” said Shah, policy director for Common Defense, a veterans advocacy organization. “The people in that room who have served for 20, 30-plus years in uniform do not need Pete Hegseth to tell them about warrior ethos.” Continue reading...

Dear @apnews.com

The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once.

Fix your headline.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?

If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?

Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Mariska Baars, aka soccer Committee is a force to be reckoned with: whoever heard one of her albums, or was lucky enough to see her live, knows that no one masters the art of peeling away every unnecessary layer of a song like she does. From the very first notes of 'Eye, it’s clear that Baars is at the peak of her powers. The most traditional songs here remind us why we fell for her songwriting in the first place: they’re delicately strong and quietly fierce. Other pieces showcase her mastery in manipulating texture and silence - even more than ever. Throughout 'Eye', she's evoking an atmosphere so hushed you lean in, afraid to miss a single detail. Baars weaves it all together in a way that only she can, crafting a listening experience that holds you in its spell from start to finish.

Post image first, there's the soccer Committee lp 'eye' coming up next week. you'll hear 'pretty little foxes' as the starter of this episode. already one of my very favorite soccer Committee tracks. And we have an upcoming show to announce: Kroppskännedom is coming to belgium for the first time, incl. a show in Ghent on october 17th. yes! to top it off: Berlinde Deman wil be playing that evening too. not suprisingly: we played her music here on morcfm before.

Plenty of other new and old favorites in this episode as well though. we're playing a few things related to our trip to Wales this summer, fill in a (huge!) gap in our Roy Montgomery collection, notice that you really can never say 'now i have enough Brannten Schnüre', and get excited about Frankie Traandruppel's new lp. and we say some nice things about great recordstores. probably one of the more coherent editions of morcfm, really.
