The amazing Typewriter Concerto...
For anyone who needs a smile today...
This is Leroy Anderson's 'The Typewriter' for orchestra, complete with all the familiar 'dings' and clitter-clattering of a typewriter. The soloist here is Alfredo Anaya, with conductor Miguel Roa
This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.
This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.
Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.
Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.
Abolish ICE.

Look at the unprecedented level of destruction the world has allowed Apartheid-Israel to get away with in Gaza.
Know that the killing machine in that devastated ghetto is still running full throttle.
What a shame.
Vamos a vencer el algoritmo, pongamos este video en todas nuestras redes sociales, no importa de qué país seas.
La lucha es contra la manipulación digital impulsada por Trump y Netanyahu para intervenir en las elecciones de Brasil. ¡Defendamos a @LulaOficial !
#LulaGigante
🇧🇷 | HABLEMOS DE LULA
A días de las elecciones de Brasil, Meta limitó la actividad en las cuentas de @LulaOficial en Facebook e Instagram. La empresa no precisó qué norma fue incumplida, pero hay un modo de resistir la censura: HABLAR MÁS DE LULA cuanto más quieran silenciarlo.
*Uprooting trees to uproot the people*
Weeks before the olive harvest, Israel orders uprooting Palestinian olive trees across the occupied West Bank. Thousands have already been destroyed since October 2023.
Environment destruction is part of the accelerated ethnic cleansing.
What happened to me is bigger than one artist or one stage. When the billionaire class can decide which voices are allowed on stage and which ones are too dangerous to hear, everyone should be paying attention.
So we're going on tour. All proceeds will benefit organizations supporting the Palestinian people and movement.

I was invited to address the @UN Security Council this afternoon to discuss the unprecedented threat posed by uncontrolled frontier AI agents.
Humanity has summoned the courage and wisdom to manage catastrophic risks before. This is one of those moments, far bigger than any personal, commercial, or national interest. The choices we make about this technology today will shape generations to come. We must act now.
The more the world hates Israel the more we get told that "antisemitism" is some worldwide prejudice baked into every facet of our society like misogyny or white supremacy. Most non-Jews spend very little time thinking about Jews and Judaism (and spent even less prior to 2023), but we're now being told that this is actually a massive condition which affects us all in ways we might not be fully conscious of.
And it's so funny because, like, I'm me. I know my own thoughts and feelings. I know I rarely thought about Jewishness at all until a live-streamed genocide began and people started calling me an antisemite for opposing it. And the same is true of the overwhelming majority of non-Jews throughout our society. We all know we don't "hate Jews" or have any special feelings about them one way or the other, but we're being aggressively told to believe this is a major problem we all have.
We're being told to disbelieve our own knowledge of our own thoughts and feelings, and trust that there is actually something closeted deep inside us which secretly hates the members of a small Abrahamic faith. It's a really obnoxious form of gaslighting, if you think about it. It's not okay to do that to people.
La izquierda gana en Berlín para bajar el precio de los alquileres y expropiar las viviendas que acaparan los fondos de inversión. La política tiene que servir para bajar la riqueza de quienes más tienen a la mayoria.
¡Enhorabuena, Die Linke! Este es el camino también aquí
A collection of graffiti from Pompeii:
Gaius Pumidius Dipilus was here on October 3.
Publius Comicius Restitutus stood here with his brother.
Aemilius Celer lives here.
A benevolent god dwells here in this house.
Burglar, watch out!
This is no place for idlers. On your way, loafer.
Ampliatus Pedania is a thief.
Albanus is a bugger.
Atimetus got me pregnant.
Stronnius is a know-nothing.
I don't want to sell my husband.
Gaius Julius Primigenius was here.
Why are you late?
Let anyone who invites me to dinner prosper.
I have a head cold.
On April 19 I baked bread.
We were here, two dear friends, comrades forever. lf you want to know our names, they are Gaius and Aulus.
Epaphra is not a ball-player.
Learn this well: While I am alive, you are my enemy, Death.
When you are dead, you are nothing.
Nothing lasts forever. After the sun shines brightly, it sinks into the ocean. The moon which was recently full, wanes. A strong wind often becomes a gentle breeze.
Marcus loves Spendusa.
Serena hates Isidore.
Thyas, don't love Fortunatus.
Sarra, you're not acting very nicely, leaving me all alone.
Restitutus has deceived many girls many times.
I have screwed many girls here.
When I came here, I screwed. Then I returned home.
Let him who loves, prosper. Let him who loves not, perish. And let him who forbids others to love, perish twice over.
Let him who chastises lovers try to fetter the winds and block the endless flow of water from a spring.
Lovers, like bees, lead a honey-sweet life.
If you are able, but not willing, why do you promise pleasures and kindle hope and always tell me to come back tomorrow? Go ahead, force me to die, since you force me to live without you. It will certainly be a kindness to end my torment.
I am amazed, o wall, that you have not collapsed and fallen, since you must bear the tedious stupidities of so many scrawlers.
Mamdani ganó en Nueva York impugnando las viejas líneas políticas de los demócratas y prometiendo supermercados públicos y medidas para la clase trabajadora.
Die Linke gana en Berlín con un programa radical en vivienda (intervención precios alquiler, expropiar pisos de fondos buitres).
Mencionar también el resurgimiento de BSW en Alemania por su compromiso con el pacifismo popular y su impugnación a los consensos liberales.
Burnham en UK está levantando a los laboristas con un giro estratégico en favor de Palestina y más sensibilidad social.
Mélenchon, el más impresionante de todos ellos, está en disposición de ganar las presidencias francesas desde el populismo republicano y la revolución ciudadana con un programa social fresco y ultra ambicioso.
Hay muchas brechas en el sistema y muchas luces. Es cuestión de articulación política, valentía contra el poder, rebeldía frente al establishment, desacomplejamiento y compromiso popular.
No se dejen engañar!.. la @JEP_Colombia es lo mejor que le ha pasado a este país para la memoria, el perdón y la no repetición.
Cualquier discurso en contra de ella, es un relato infundado y sería un retroceso infinito en el proceso que la JEP se acabe.
#YoCreoenlaJEP
La @JEP_Colombia como toda institución de justicia no es perfecta y ha cometido errores, pero ha logrado un acercamiento a la verdad como nunca lo pudo hacer la justicia ordinaria en Colombia.
A la JEP la quieren acabar no por lo que no ha hecho hasta ahora, si no por lo que ya ha revelado y lo que falta por conocerse de los crímenes de estado y Sí también de las FARC.
18.647+ niños y niñas víctimas de reclutamiento forzoso y violencia por parte de las FARC.
6.402+víctimas de falsos positivos.
Esas cifras no son excluyentes, son complementarias; y son parte de la contabilidad del horror en Colombia.
Y se conocen gracias a la @JEP_Colombia
