The Armed - Kingbreaker (Official Video) YouTube video by Sargent House

The latest album by The Armed is 32 minutes of ugly/beautiful sonic mayhem. Chaotic music for chaotic times. This is the stuff.

Personally I am unfamiliar with any legitimate activity that requires switching license plates, which by the way is illegal.

Oops 😬 😅

Can you imagine the horror?
I feel sick.

During these dark times, participating in peaceful protests does a soul some good #handsoffschaumburg #handsoff

< Jaime Montana Cook is at Sackets Harbor Central School. 5h • Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

Is musk a scam?

And He who smealt it dealt it

I think we’re living it.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

Fabulous 🇺🇸💥

If you were looking for heady batshit, I recommend checking out the work of Shahram Mokri (Invasion, Ashkan…) but if you’re just looking for batshit, Messiah of Evil could work.

Holy shit! Democrats, if you’re looking for a fighter, you found one— @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.

So glad I finally got to see the awesome Porridge Radio before they call it quits after this tour. Dana Margolin is a force of nature, hoping to hear more from her in the future.

No creative individual has affected me so profoundly. I stood for 90 minutes during a harsh Chicago winter evening in order to see him introduce Inland Empire at The Music Box Theatre. Happy to have shared some of the same time on this planet as him, relishing in his creations.

Nikola Mirotic can confirm

A little late to the game here, but I just discovered what is hands-down the album of the year for me, maybe my album of the decade so far: Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, which is fifteen tracks of earworm bliss - a psych/prog/pop masterpiece. Utterly blown away. #magdalenabay #imaginaldisk
