If your label is home to bands as amazing and varied as the Tubs, En Attendant Ana, the Serfs, FACS, Sunwatchers, Dummy, Nightshift, Martin Frawley, the Mountain Movers, etc. and you can’t make/have to shut down it really says something about how low we’ve sunk as a culture. RIP Trouble in Mind.

My incredibly low opinion of the music industry was slightly parlayed by the continuing presence of great DIY labels like Trouble in Mind. Sad to see them go, but glad they fought the good fight as long as they could. Listening to the Jonas Reinhardt tape they released as I type this.

Once again reminding folks that the ethical replacement to using Spotify isn’t another streaming platform; it’s buying music from artists when you’re in the financial position to do so and pirating them when you’re unable to do so. Or simply ask an artist for the files, like actually.

Oppose H.R. 1526 – Protect Judicial Independence and the Constitution
I’m writing to express my strong opposition to H.R. 1526, the bill recently passed by the House to prohibit federal district judges from issuing nationwide injunctions. I urge you to reject this dangerous legislation and stand up for the independence of our judiciary. Nationwide injunctions have been a vital tool in protecting constitutional rights and ensuring that harmful or unlawful federal actions can be halted swiftly, especially when they affect people across the country. Limiting this authority undermines the courts’ ability to serve as a meaningful check on executive overreach. This bill does not improve our justice system—it politicizes it. It sends a clear message that certain voices in government want to punish judges for doing their jobs. Judicial decisions should be guided by the law and the Constitution, not political pressure or retaliation. I’m also deeply concerned by the Justice Department’s move to bar its lawyers from attending American Bar Association events. The legal profession depends on open dialogue, professional standards, and nonpartisan collaboration. This is part of a broader campaign to discredit the legal community and erode accountability. Please protect the balance of power and reject this bill. I am counting on you to defend the Constitution—not just when it’s easy, but especially when it’s under threat.
