One of the lessons I hope people take away from Jesse Jackson’s life and the outpouring of remembrances small and large is that progress is made and measured in every act and utterance against oppression and not measured solely in legislative or electoral victories.

On January 23rd, we take to the streets to challenge Palantir and Amazon for enabling ICE to rip our communities apart and for fueling the machinery of mass deportation and family separation. Union Square. 4pm.

This great bill is tomorrow at Union Pool - Still Minders hit early, just past 8. Come early, stay for all the delights!

the only reason "abolish ICE" is seen as radical is that no one will say it but the far left. if every normie Democrat started saying it tomorrow it would move the overton window so far you'd have to squint to find it. my kingdom for leaders who understand they can shape public opinion.

Happy birthday to the maestro!

Coming up in 10 days at Union Pool, a smoking lineup on Saturday Jan 17th - first gig of the year for Still Minders. We open up, w/ Cool Whip unleashing the rock in the 2nd slot, Garcia Peoples taking us all to town to close. Great musics & good peeps, see you at the spot! dice.fm/.../py5m5k-g....

Cracks continue to widen, victories in court and elsewhere are adding up, got to keep the faith and keep pushing for better!

So this is happening outside of the Heritage Foundation right now "Fuck ICE! Fuck ICE! Fuck Project 2025! Fuck Alligator Alcatraz!"

Big ups to this living legend

#CancelSpotify. Delete the app. Don't use it. They are proudly promoting ICE ads, and the CEO is just a trash human being. Make an example of one company. All they worship is money. The color green trumps all others.

Great turnout in Queens to protest the borough’s least favorite son, even Mr. Met got in on the act!

Need everybody to bring the same fire they had for Jimmy Kimmel to this

Tomorrow night! The good times at Mama Tried start at 7 with Names Divine, Zach Cale and co at 8, Still Minders wrap it up from 9 onward. Hope to see you at the spot

Perhaps still underappreciated, today (and everyday) is a great one to bask in the glory of Marion Brown

In two weeks on Sept 18th, Still Minders turn up the heat again at Mama Tried. Names Divine open up, & Zach Cale's new instrumental group are 2nd. We will wrap it up with versions of faves from Terry Allen, Moby Grape, Gene Clark et al. FREE SHOW - come ready to tip your bartenders and performers!

One under appreciated side effect of great wealth inequality is how fucking deranged it makes the hyper-rich who no longer have contact with anyone other than sycophants or fellow, broken-brained uber-rich weirdos.

The thing we absolutely must drive home to the public is that the Trump administration's immigration policy is being run by committed white supremacists. This is not rhetoric or hyperbole; it is absolutely literally true, and they're increasingly not bothering to hide it.

Unless the guidling principles are "1. Don't use this shit, period" and "2. Seriously, just don't fucking use it" and "3. Always refer back to #1 and #2" I don't want to hear this crap from the AHA.

Running government like a business (looting it, saddling it with debt, shutting down parts that were doing just fine to consolidate market share for other business owned in the same sector).

Today is an embarrassing day for @aft.org, @uftnyc.bsky.social, and for the labor movement. Instead of supporting teachers' opposition to the use of AI to manage or do the work of teachers, they're getting $ from EdTech to introduce AI to young people. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/t...

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

The right wing literally spent 50 years building a massive, successful propaganda apparatus across AM radio, broadcast TV, cable, and the Internet that fills the public's heads with pebbles and hatred 24/7 we can't selectively unpair electoral delusion from the long, successful attack on the press

public libraries are a standing rebuke to the powers that have overtaken our government, because libraries are *radically* democratic. everyone is granted civic standing, including children, who are powerless and voiceless. But the library grants them rights. that is extraordinary. defend it. 📚

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.

Mark Morgan is unfortunately knocked out with a bad flu, so he will be not performing tonight. But Still Minders have plenty of sounds to share, music should get going around 9:30 with DJ and/or bonus groove set

Forget the fact that large studies and meta studies have already been conducted on this, we have in vivo proof that vaccines are safe and don’t cause autism but how fucked is it that people think the worst thing that can happen to you is autism and not dying of measles

New release from my old compatriot Pat Murano and I, with deep sounds for dark times. Thanks to Tom Carter for the stellar liners - also check Pat and Tom’s duo release out on Daksina today. Bundle of both LPs available also decimus.bandcamp.com/album/sing-a...

Good times to be found at Ore Bar this Saturday. Mark Morgan starts off the night around 9pm with Still Minders to follow. Hope to see you there!

Very glad we were able to reschedule this Still Minders/Mark Morgan bill at Ore Bar. New date is coming up rapidly, on Saturday March 8th. Hope to see you at the spot
