- Man Child is an under-appreciated Herbie Hancock album. And it comes with a free side of Stevie Wonder. You can't go wrong.
- Poem: Fascist Dispatch: Minneapolis, 1-24-2026 let’s mask our faces from consequence and shame let’s go abuse a family with a funny last name get in our way and we’ll shoot you dead we already shot a nurse in the back and a poet in the head
- Informative first hand accounts from leaders on the ground in Minneapolis. www.youtube.com/live/fH76Lrc...

- With more Epstein files hitting the street I'm guessing we can expect bombs dropping on Iran any minute now.
- Reposted by K.W. SmithNews cycles are being manipulated to make people think a problem has been solved when it hasn’t. Bovino removed didn’t change anything but people have been tricked into thinking it did, so they move on. Same as it was. Know this. The situation in MN is as bad as it’s always been. Don’t forget them.
- Reposted by K.W. SmithGetting the impression that ICE is gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio, which was ground zero of Vance’s lies about Haitians during the campaign. Haitians lose temporary protected status on February 3rd. Reporters, lawyers, neighbors — please get ready.
- If you have the means, please remotely support local businesses in Minneapolis. One way is to place an order from one of their many excellent independent bookstores (or make one of them the store you support on @libro.fm )
- Reposted by K.W. SmithThese words demand attention. “In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock Take a moment, so much more…
- Reposted by K.W. SmithThe biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
- Reposted by K.W. Smithif bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.
- Reposted by K.W. SmithToday is a great day to remember Wilhoit's law: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
- Reposted by K.W. Smith3/ "Instead of doing either of those things [checking for a pulse and administering CPR], the ICE agents appeared to be counting his bullet wounds. I asked the ICE agents if the victim had a pulse, and they said they did not know." Link: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

- Reposted by K.W. SmithSenate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
- Filthy McNasty has to be the greatest song name in the history of music. I love Horace Silver's sense of humor. #jazzsky

- Reposted by K.W. Smithi hope all the people resisting ICE on the ground know how fucking inspiring they are. minneapolis right now, and chicago and LA and charlotte and DC and portland before them, you’re setting the blueprint for the future battles sure to come. thank you.
