A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Greetings Trouble and troublemakers all.
Beautiful track to open, thanks.
Have the chicory/espresso coffee and a smoothie in front of me, and a book of critical evaluations of James Baldwin from 1977 ( so while he was alive).
Found it at the wonderful Langston Hughes Queens public library branch in Corona.
Gem of a place. We were blown away by how much space is dedicated to black studies. Felt almost like being at the Schomburg.
And there’s like a museum section upstairs with an auditorium for concerts and theater. Of course this being the US we had to be escorted up for a cursory look because they were short of staff.
Which is why we insist; Defund the Police, to Refund the Public.
Worth the trip to the library in Corona.

Fred and Alan, I detect a pattern here. You start with the Pidge and then hang on a while longer for the show following Wake & Bake here on the main station feed. I tend to roam around all 4 streams and even dip into the Archives, as I did yesterday so I could hear your debut appearance on Pseu's show. Are you planning to drop in on her today?

It's like the Jean-Paul Sartre for Dodge Dart ad: "In my journey to the end of night, I must rely not only on dialectical paths of reason. I must have a good solid automobile, one that eschews the futile trappings of worldly ennui and asks only for basic maintenance. My Dodge Dartre offers me this elemental solace, and as interior parts fall off I am struck by the realization of their pointlessness. I might not know if the window is up or down. It is of no consequence."

It would be difficult to earn a mention on the long illustrious roll call of French revolutionaries throughout history.

But I think current Mayor Anne Hidalgo deserves an honorable mention.
This past week, looking out over massive street protest/strikes, garbage piling up everywhere and fires burning in the middle of streets, she didn’t flinch.

Thanks for sharing all that background on Diallo, Trouble.

Not that that it makes anyone who’s been murdered in cold blood by cops but hadn’t spoken 5 languages and on his way to college any lesser. It’s just that maybe it can instill a little empathy on otherwise uninterested white people who just submissively accept the overarching media narrative that somehow a non complying black person deserves death.

Goddaman petty, thin-skinned thug cops. FTP!!

As Acid says, there is *no such thing* as good cops. Not when seven little punks stand by as Eric Garner literally has the life choked out of his lungs - while *not one* of them intervenes. When they’ve been conditioned to believe they’re above the law, and everything from qualified immunity to the unions hiding their abuse records, it’s never gonna change, without a radical dismantling and reimagining.

The whole institution of policing is so deeply rotten to the core in a thousand different ways that there’s no solution but to dismantle the entire corrupt and brutal edifice.

I just met with the police lieutenant yesterday with a couple of my art students who will make a community building mural in the station. It’s mostly to be seen by the officers. Any suggestions or ideas are welcome. Arrestees will also be able to see it.

The rightful anger following the Nashville shooting, about laws allowing guns for mental health cases (how in the hell is that 'a well-regulated militia'??), and reflections this week on Gaslit Nation, on Trump in Waco and the recent Oklahoma City anniversary, had me thinking about several Dan Bern songs. 'Kid's Prayer,' written after Sandy Hook, is really powerful.

Good on you. Public art murals are so powerful and should be provocative in the sense that they should allow us to stop for a member to consider what another world would look like.

It’s difficult, for me. Because as much as I intensely despise cops, I’ve realized lately, in contemplating the rash and seemingly universality of police brutality during this age across the globe (witness France right now) that ultimately if we wish to overthrow the capitalist destruction of the world and our lives (literally) it’s gonna be very difficult in this age of high tech super surveillance and cops having military grade weapons to expect the kinds of successful citizen uprisings common in the 19th and 18th centuries. I hate to admit but it’s true: we’re gonna need defectors from their ranks.

Which is all I say a message appealing to their class status as part of the 99% who are also being price-gouged, have families and friends without universal healthcare, are watching the rich run roughshod over us all. They have to be convinced that instead of being pawns protecting rich white people and their property - and being tethered to a dumb quota system that encourages them to falsify and fabricate offenses - can not be why they got into it in the first place.
I don’t know. Maybe it’s naive. But we have to try to appeal to that real sense of Justice that presumably got them on the path to be the overriding thing. And in that sense be convinced to admit and accept that they’re being used for injustice, and that a crippling capitalist system is what is driving precarity which then drives crime.
Basically we need a few brave men, as they say, to defy orders and be in the side of the 99%.
