There’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for people to build on the rubble of what’s being destroyed before our eyes. Private corporations bending over to forcefeed everyone government-approved speech is evil and amoral, but more than anything this creates boring, inauthentic, unwatchable shit.

Barrio at 50th & France is closing in a month, to be replaced by Americana, a new concept from Daniel del Prado and Ryan Burnet. Got some renderings of the space in this story!

RIP Palmers. Love that place.

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Later Tuesday afternoon, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) called the event a "groundbreaking criminal operation," and said it was the first in Minnesota "under the Homeland Security Task Force umbrella — marking a new chapter in how we confront complex, multidimensional threats." "From drug smuggling to criminal labor trafficking, this operation showcases the breadth of our collective missions and the strength of a united front,” said ICE Homeland Security Investigations St. Paul Special Agent in Charge Jamie Holt. "... Together, we are safeguarding communities, protecting national security, and setting a new standard of joint enforcement efforts.” Holt said ICE was assisted by state and local law enforcement, as well as federal partners, including the U.S. Attorney's Office, FBI, IRS-CI, DEA, ERO, ATF, USMS, DSS, U.S. Border Patrol, U.S. Coast Guard, and the TSA.

In the ongoing confusion of what happened yesterday, ICE has released a statement confirming they were there (which was already confirmed by eyewitnesses) and listing "state and local law enforcement" and a host of federal agencies as assisting ICE. (1/2)

Love to see Racket getting the scoop before Runner's World magazine

Yeah, 2005 would still be a great time! I bet it was awesome. I'd be especially excited to see anything off the self-titled live.

They're so deserving of the honor. Jack is probably my favorite guitarist. And I, like you, am a big Meg defender.

Really love your take on the White Stripes here. Jack can't be the frantic frontman he is without Meg's loose, simple drumming behind him. I wish I could've seen em in those early days.
