BREAKING: Last night, in a legally wrong and harmful decision, a court granted Texas' request to continue blocking the government's 100-day deportation pause. Voters rejected Trump's inhumane immigration policies, but the Texas government wants to force them on the country.

Huge win for Oak Flat & religious freedom today. USDA has halted the transfer of Apache holy land to Resolution Copper. This gives time for federal court to protect their religious freedom & Congress to reverse the land transfer that would destroy Oak Flat. #PoorPeoplesCampaign

This is just the beginning. People all over the country are recognizing that we need a season of nonviolent civil disobedience & direct action, because that's how voting rights were won & that's the only way we're going to keep them & expand them.

While packing up all of one's earthly belongings into suitcases after 20 years of living in New York, the only logical choice of music to listen to is Patti Smith.

Briefly back in New York, where I lived for 20 years. Yearning for an afternoon at Other Music or the ground floor at Kim's Video, where you could listen to music and chat w. staff about what's undiscovered, transcendent. Any suggestions for NYC spots where one can still do that?
