Chicago this Saturday night - we bring you Sangat, a musical journey rooted in beloved community and expansive solidarity. www.saichicago.org/calendar/san...

Our time has come. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and his campaign have been chardi kala in action throughout this last year, and now we get to soak it in for a moment. Real HOPE. A taste of what is possible. Today happens to be Guru Nanak’s Gurpurab, the birthday of the founder of Sikh revolution.

you've got to click around on this map, and the graphics here ... it's astounding. @haidee.bsky.social did such a great job with this:

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

NYC voters: There is so much mixed messaging from progressives and total confusion about ballot proposals 2-4. I voted yes on them. Check out this @jacobinmag.bsky.social article if you're confused about what to do, it's super helpful. jacobin.com/2025/10/new-...

Last day to vote today!

The Democratic Attorneys General Association established a Legal Defense Fund for exactly this moment: when its members — including AG Tish James—are targeted by the Trump administration for political prosecution. Donate here.

NYC! Our Sangat album release show is TONIGHT Oct 9 at Drom. Still some tickets available. Hope to see you there as we delve into the intersection of the spiritual and revolutionary, the introspective and ecstatic. dromnyc.com/event/qais-e...

First round GRAMMY voting has commenced, and here are a few recordings for your consideration. Please share with Recording Academy members you know and thanks for uplifting music that matters in these times. #grammys #fyc

Everyone in academia should read this piece about our dear, brilliant colleague @durba.bsky.social www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

How you can take action against ABC/Disney bending the knee to authoritarianism: docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Say it with me: we would not be seeing this authoritarian censorship takeover in the United States, had both parties, the media and elite institutions not already greased the path with the muzzling of speech on Palestine.

just not our students that we expelled for "difficult speech" </3

Today marks 24 years since the murder of Balbir Singh Sodhi—one of the first deadly post-9/11 hate crimes. Today, we honor Balbir ji’s memory, along with all those whose lives have been lost to or forever changed by violent hate 🕯️

Lovely piece in @bandcamp.com by Vrinda Jagota on NYC's growing Sufi music scene. Honored to be included in it - daily.bandcamp.com/scene-report...

@sonnysingh.bsky.social with some beautiful tunes, and a powerful message of our shared syncretic histories! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdW8... "The Guru Granth Sahib was not just written by Sikhs, right? It was written by Muslim Sufis, by Hindu Bhakti saints..." (1/2)

There is a hundreds of year-old history of Sikh and Muslim musical collaboration that has been buried. We make music and build community that transcends boundaries. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdW8...

My new album with Qais Essar will be out October 17! You can presave it now and save the date for a show near you. sonnysingh.ffm.to/sangatalbum

Rachel Griffin Accurso, better known as Ms. Rachel, says she could not stay silent on the suffering of Palestinian children in Gaza. "My deep care for children doesn't stop at any border," she says. Watch the full interview: www.democracynow.org/2025/8/13/ms...

Artists are with Palestine. As BDS Mixtape curator & contributor @sonnysingh.bsky.social says: "It is our responsibility as musicians to get louder. We refuse to live in fear, we refuse to be silent, we refuse to be complicit in genocide." www.amplifypalestine.org/bds-mixtape-...

This. It’s really disheartening to see the vitriol — we can disagree and critique without canceling (& making false equivalencies).

What a refreshing and powerful read from @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social today, a nice pivot from a lot of the the NYT's terrible coverage on Zohran of late. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/20/o...

July 19th in Queens, NYC! Thrilled to be a part of this epic @summerstage.bsky.social show curated by @djrekha.bsky.social along with Rashmeet Kaur, Rajuju, Tara Lily and more. Get there by 6:00 to catch my set!

Here's a bit of the story behind our new version of Pavan Guru, a timeless shabad by Guru Nanak. youtu.be/1k0y8-2iHyM?...

Republicans squeaked Trump's massive budget package through the Senate on Tuesday, passing "the worst bill in modern American history," says @ezralevin.bsky.social of @indivisible.org. He says the House can still stop the legislation and encourages people to pressure their members of Congress.

🚨 🚨 🚨 @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social just implied on the Brian Lehrer show that Zohran Mamdani is affiliated with Hamas and/or promotes violent jihad! ☎️ ☎️ Call her office right now to decry this unprecedented intraparty attack on the duly elected Democratic candidate for Mayor of NYC! 1/2

DC we’re here! Looking forward to our show at the @hillcenterdc.bsky.social in Thursday night at 7:00. www.hillcenterdc.org/event/global...

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.
