We’ve got more rad people to introduce to you!!! Our theme music for Did We Go Too Far? comes from Movement Generation’s founder Mateo Nube’s band Los Nadies and the song was mixed by decolonial DJ Zanda Pemba, founder of DiaspoRADiCAL. As we said before, the podcast production team is equally as badass as the podcast itself and the music is even better!
Los Nadies who composed the song on the podcast, weaves together a wide array of Latin American rhythms with rock, creating a unique and sophisticated danceable fusion that includes Rumba Flamenca, Cumbia, Afro-Cuban and more. Their music often mirrors and reflects the Latino experience in a globalized US, with immigrant roots. Los Nadies, or The Nobodies, take their name from the eponymous poem/essay by Uruguayan historian Eduardo Galeano decrying the invisibility cast upon the millions of dispossessed people around the world. Needless to say Los Nadies creates and represents our people and not short of creating for fun, joy and sheer musicianship.
Zanda of @Diaspo.RADICAL is decolonial DJ, musician, and sound artivist who features musicians from all over the world on the DiaspoRADICAL Live. (mixcloud.com/DiaspoRadical). Here’s a quote from Zanda: “We build emotional bridges and bonds between people from all walks, taking extra care to give the mic to those in our (global) community rarely heard of/from. We bring the soundtrack to your events whether it is in community spaces, event spaces, or people's homes. Most recently, because we cannot go to the aforementioned physical event spaces, we have been putting out some live radio programs. Our goals are to entertain and to educate (raise the consciousness of) our listeners using sound as our chief medium of operation”.
#DWGTF is truly #blessed to have these creatives in the mix!
Wisconsin taxpayers are underwriting THIS???
Awesome work
soooo... i hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that artificial tree thing from North Pole's season 1 is actually a thing now (see comments for reference). just like in the show, sounds like they plan to partner w/ oil companies and other sh*tty companies.
GOP & Trump lies make for misinformed voting: The fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, was a policy that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was—in the FCC's view—honest, equitable, and balanced. example: Fox News has an ALEXA popularity rating of 260,
Great artwork. Who did it? Could you please credit the artist/s? Thank you in solidarity.
💫CALLING ALL ARTISTS💫 Create with us! As the #CAFires continue, we look at #CulturalWorkers to help us create beyond the shock of the fire. #MoreThanAMask
We ask that all artist and cultural workers create for the following vision:
1. Native Sovereignty includes proper fire prevention and land stewardship needed to prevent mass fires.
2. The People do it better; from supporting immigrant caravans to handing out face masks. We support each other better than any system has.
3. People Power is also taking back our energy power infrastructures we ask for a #NoBailOut of #PGE, what would an energy power system look like at the hands of the people?
If any of these visions beyond the fires inspires you to create we invite all artists of all disciplines to create and post until Thursday November 22 tagging the hashtag #FireSeeds.

The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is GUILTY of aggressively violating the Human Rights of Prisoners by seizing their property, mail, pictures, books, writings, legal information & visitations. They have hired a Florida Company (Smart Communications) to sort scan and keep all mail sent to Confined Citizens in the state of Pennsylvania. The cost is estimated to begin at 15 Million Dollars to operate. This action not only further punishes those who are already serving their time, but it is another way for capital to be generated by legalized slavery.
All of Society should be concerned about this because your state could be next!

Once Costa Hawkins is repealed, there will certainly be a lot of debate about how best to institute real rent control: indexing, accounting for maintenance and operations costs, applying to new construction or phase in, etc. As Joe Fitz tries hard to demonstrate, there are a lot of points of view even among the YIMBYs. But this guy’s perspective highlights the privilege and entitlement prevalent among many of that circle: “YIMBY gives a voice to people who are not even here yet… Repealing Costa Hawkins in favor of rent control… would help people already here at the expense of those to come.” No sir. The working-class communities “already here” are dynamic, living breathing cultures, rooted in those inner city places that middle-class white people gave up on for fifty years, who had to endure decades of the real estate industry’s redlining and rental discrimination, disinvestment and "urban renewal" and environmental racism, who continue to grow and change and create culture and welcome newcomers. The wholesale evisceration of working-class communities does not happen solely because of evictions - it happens because a whole segment of people, based entirely on their newfound wealth and skin privilege, can displace those with less resources, and a real estate and landlord industry that profits from that via the state legislature, far from any accountability. Repealing Costa Hawkins in favor of real rent control would help those already here AND those yet to come: not based on the newcomer’s wealth or their skin color, but in their desire to continue building our beautiful city with us. The YIMBY lie is exposed right there: the “values” in this point of view are to give voice only to themselves and to the rich who aren’t here yet, and to the fear that real rent control would mean an end to the displacement of our communities in favor of others based on their wealth and skin privilege. F**k that.
