Alongside Tribal partners, we raised the flags of the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations on the Capitol Mall. With these flags raised high, we’re honoring our government-to-government partnership and recognizing that our Indigenous neighbors are not in the past.

Chicago, protesters have gathered outside the ICE facility where detainees will be "processed" throughout the upcoming DHS surge. A vehicle with a masked agent inside arriving for work reversed and turned around after activists and clergy planted themselves across the driveway.

So Ron DeSantis is abolishing vaccine mandates for schoolchildren. And Dr. Oz is proposing that Medicare use AI death panels to deny coverage. And RFK Jr. is making it harder for Americans to get vaccines. It's like these ignorant zealots are in a contest to see who can kill the most Americans.

And the thing about bluegrass acoustic players only wanting Teles for electric stuff is totally true. Teles are tough and they can handle the string banging we do. Most other guitars twang out of tune a few bars in.
Ear Rick (@ericlars2.bsky.social) reply parent
One of my buddies (you've seen pics of him) has a Tele from about 1978 or so. It weighs a ton and it's one of the best electric guitars I've ever played or heard. It was his first guitar in 8th grade. He was my neighbor when we were kids and is still one of my best friends and still has it.

Ear Rick (@ericlars2.bsky.social) reply parent
No I don't. I don't have anything that uses USB for music. I don't even get it. I'm poking around for a mixer and everything new has those ports. I just thought they were outputs so you could remix music with a laptop. But there's probably inputs also.
