Julie, you were asking on Twitter "what one can do to help?" I read about that recently, here it is basically:
- when you have the physical resources: go to protest, to meetings, join a group and hand out flyers, posters
- when you have the money: donate
- when you have time: help with planning and organization, like giving a hand to build a website, manage social media accounts, provide research to orgs
We can all play a part, nothing is too small

I saw them three times in high school in Atlanta -- still the same people doing merch sales!

@Julie Madonna has worked with Mirwaïs (French producer, musician) on several albums now, and the first thing we heard from them, just before she released Music as a single, was the track "Paradise (Not For Me)" from his second solo album "Production". The track was also on "Music", the album. It's very different than what she's known for. Here's "Paradise" (I remember hearing it late in the evening on the radio) www.youtube.com...

There's political and political.

To begin to understand see, for example, Frank Zimring's When Police Kill. It is not a polemic, though Zimring does propose suggestions. It's not interested in ideological sparring. It's a cold-eyed study, with all of the strengths and drawbacks such work entails. It will make many readers "uncomfortable," which seems in recent years to have become an overdetermined adjective.

Handy Haversack:

What Sylvia said earlier in response to your "what else can I do?" question, Julie -- you're doing it. That kind of amplification is huge. Making the message heard as widely as possible is part of the work -- and confronting one's family (and workplace and community groups etc. etc.) with their own complicity and continuing to be vocal is all part of the work, too. Don't undervalue it! If WFMU is pissing off some listeners who want to moan about "coming here just for the music," then it's doing something right!

ngh - this is the thing!
Donovan has come under a lot of derision over the decades - yet I like everything he's done.
What's more - for 1966 that was ahead of the curve. He was not concerned about Genre whatsoever - but only the countercultural mission - & was a pioneer in this. A psychedelicised & savvy soul.

I especially like it when Matt Fiveash is on the boards when one of those people shows up! I wonder if I can hire him to tell off my family ...

But seriously, confronting family is HARD. I am working on both my employer and the org. I do most of my volunteering for and pressing hard to get both to commit to real change and confront their privilege and complicity -- and it's easier to do that than to think of dealing with my family!

Recognizing injustice - & our own privilege - is not fun
- anymore than distancing & masks.
It's not about comfort - or the lack of it.
It's about responsibility to what is reality & must be dealt with.
Cause it won't get more comfortable if we don't.
In fact - the discomfort is probably exactly where we need to start.

@Handy: I think I turned off my family for good. I use comments that are obscure of obtuse, but I think they know the intent (I was the book-learning one).

Other Beatles seem to cite Macca driving them thru many takes of Maxwell's as a major faultline in the band !

Right. "Cut the politics and play some early Dylan, dammit!"

I do think, though, that we need to be careful about the rhetorical ploys we adopt. For example, the suggestion to confront the complicity of others has a recent historical echo, namely, GW Bush's "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." Those of us with strong leftist sensibilities did not like his attempt to paint us into corners. If on principle we didn't like it then, then we shouldn't like it now, even if in the moment it works in our favor.

i won't talk about politics with my one relative that votes for trump, my mother.
- but i am thinking about sending her a link to a video of the premeditated, cold-blooded murder by 3-4 military-geared cops of a homeless man in new mexico.
not sure what will become of that. she's 85 and not well.
