Last month, @propublica.org released Rx Inspector, a groundbreaking tool that lets you find the factories where your generic drugs were manufactured. Now we're making available the data that powers it. via @bxroberts.org www.propublica.org/article/rx-i...

I became completely enamored of Florry in 2023 with The Holey Bible and a couple scorching sets at Hopscotch. Singing their praises largely seemed to fall on deaf ears. Glad to see more folks catching on. These are from 2024 at Cat’s Cradle - Back Room.

Thank you! Your appreciation means a lot.

“Whole” appears as the final song on Sunny War’s album “Anarchist Gospel,” ending the album with some comfort for getting through difficult days. www.chimesfreedom.com/2026/01/21/s...

Five Democratic lawmakers revealed the DOJ is investigating them for reminding military members last year that they are allowed to refuse unlawful orders. However, the lawmakers are doubling down and defending their right to free speech. Read more 👇

Saw a new band a 2nd time that we are featuring on Tuesday's debut episode of Dive Bar Music Club. Got some corrected info bc little available online. Recording a bit to insert in the episode today, so I don't spread misinformation. Also, he uses a pick and fingerpicks. #iykyk

I would like to briefly chat (audio only) with any music venues in the greater Twin Cities area about 🧊 invasion and violence. I'm not a Journalist. I host a music podcast about dive bars and indie bands. DiveBarMusicClub.com (If y'all know any Good People, please connect us. Thank you.)

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

An acquaintance of mine has the most spectacular collection of RuPaul photo history from Atlanta, including tons of Wee Wee Pole/Ru Paul & the U-Hauls era. Is there wider interest beyond the Atlanta post-punk arts scene?

Question for gym rats, meatheads, weightlifters: What is the equipment called where you lay flat on your stomach (parallel to the floor) and do a barbell row (not t-bar) that is directly below you?

Hoping my anti-fascism preroll is clear enough. Wanna weed out listeners before I even get to my hot takes about fauxk musicians.

Trump is now openly threatening to invoke the insurrection act, and if he follows his usual pattern of weird behavior, this means he’s actually going to do it soon. It might happen today.

I'm fascinated by the differences across podcast platforms.

ICE just confronted us in our car saying it’s our first & final warning. There’s nothing illegal about driving your car safely on Stinson, Lowry, or any street in our community. They are purposefully surging at school get out times terrorizing our families. Ice needs to stay away from our kids.

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars. ictnews.org/news/north-c...

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Jonathan Bernstein’s authorized biography of Justin Townes Earle paints a vivid portrait of the late, great roots musician.

My whole life, fascism was defined as being stopped by armed, masked agents of the national government who demand your papers, on pain of arrest, injury, or death. That’s now here, and the group of people who warned about that the most are either silent or in favor of it,

This is not the language of the government of a free country.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just launched flash bang grenades at protesters in front of federal building in Minneapolis—causing massive explosions. "It's terrorizing, this isn't the America I served for 20 years in the U.S. Navy," tearful protester tells us. WE'RE LIVE NOW ⬇️

Don't look away.

ICE kidnap 17-year-old U.S. citizen working at Target then dump him bleeding and crying miles away in a Walmart parking lot… 🤬

I'm curious if there's any public rejection of the term "ameri POL itan" by musicians now, or if using the term is a dog whistle at this point?

“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” said Donna Ganger, the mother of Renee Macklin Good, who was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday.

Mike joined Peter and Kevn Kinney for a few songs tonight at the Rialto Room including “MacDougal Blues,” “Apartment #9,” and “Straight to Hell.” As someone in the crowd said on the way to the parking lot, “Just another Sunday night in Athens” Photo by S. Bell

Anti-semitism often thrives in unquestioned comments, "I'm not anti-semitic, but," and stereotypes presented as "jokes." It's also overt crime, intended to scar people near and far. If you somehow still have your head in the sand & think "everything's fine," stop being a coward.

I think Molly Seidel won the Bandera 50k in Texas today. Wow!

Sad to report: RIP Bob Weir. "It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Bobby Weir. He transitioned peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, after courageously beating cancer as only Bobby could. Unfortunately, he succumbed to underlying lung issues." www.instagram.com/p/DTWTKqKgKeP/

I love sriracha.
