Two of the last three shows I've attended included a Specials cover. Pretty happy with that ratio.

NEW: We obtained 911 audio from the Texas detention center housing hundreds of immigrant kids and their parents.
Since mid-September, EMS crews have been dispatched to Dilley at least 11 times to treat children in medical distress.
Burning fevers. Low oxygen. Seizures. A broken leg.
My report:
Seems like the emerging policy is: you people out there are responsible for setting up your own governments, but if the US doesn’t like who ends up in charge we’ll just assassinate or kidnap them and then the ball is back in your court.

😂 I love that. I hope she sent along videos of the stump party.
The Washington Post's description of the bodycam video of his arrest last year, and the translation of Mr. Shah Alam's comments, is gutting. Remember, he was entirely blind in one eye and could only see three feet in the other, and he spoke virtually no English.
He spent a year in jail for this.

Our new one hates Bsky. Or it hates our CMS. Either way, I'm caught in the middle.
Is Gogol Bordello Minneapolis coded? In this essay...
Though, did you get to spend a weird amount of time navigating how to embed bsky posts b/c you changed your CMS yesterday?
Moderately disappointed that I didn't see a single St. Paul jacket at the Gogol Bordello show.
