"President Trump’s call for nationalizing voting in America is fundamentally racist, and in case you missed the dog whistle from two days ago, he said it loud and clear yesterday:
Take a look at Detroit…take a look at Philadelphia, take a look at Atlanta. The federal government should not allow that. The federal government should get involved.'"

"'These are agents of the federal government to count the vote. If they can’t count the vote legally and honestly, then somebody else should take over.'
Trump offered no evidence, just pure racist invective."
"They don't even have to engage in naked voter suppression to meddle in this election. All they have to do is engage in voter intimidation in key swing districts around the country. What does voter intimidation look like? Looks like Donald Trump deciding to send those 3000 ICE agents instead to polling places and saying, look, we're just we're just here to try to find illegal criminals."

A frozen Detroit River in a snowstorm with one shipping lane open. On the left bank is the US and on the right is Canada. Photo from a family member today.

Out today, from the Detroit trio: Dames Brown - Take Me As I Am
Sounds of funk, soul, gospel, house. Hearing bits of James Brown, Sharon Jones, some house grooves, even some techno. Mixed styles but really showing their vocals.
"Rooted deeply in Detroit’s musical lineage... captures the city’s spirit — from the grit of its streets to the warmth of its soul..."
