Opt out tomorrow!

🚨 TONIGHT: Protect Minnesota's Waters before it's too late! Copper-sulfide mining threatens to poison the pristine waters we love. Join us at 7pm TONIGHT at Minneapolis Bouldering Project's upstairs mezzanine to hear what's at stake and how we can fight back. www.friends-bwca.org/event/threat...

Hey Donny and Elon: m.youtube.com/watch?v=EX7r...

Turn to those around you and love them even more. Nobody is perfect at this so just do what you can and forgive others as they try too. It’s maybe the best use of energy and soul we have. Fight for justice where you can, but love is mighty and we can all give more.

On Audre Lorde’s birthday, I’m thinking about her Kitchen Table Press. She (second from left), Barbara Smith, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gossett came together to establish a press centering feminist and lesbians of color — and it shook the publishing industry. #bhm

This is tomorrow at 5 ET. If you can make the time, please register and tune in. We have big plans.

On our way to a general strike, I think a boycott of air travel would get some attention.

Trump is such a big, strong, powerful, manly leader...and it only took a few days for Prince Elon of the Incels to steal his crown. How long before Tump notices and calls for Elon's head on a platter? abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen...

Friends, it's time to call every single one of your public representatives and DEMAND an NATIONAL GENERAL STRIKE. If we need to organize it on our own, so be it. Enough with business as usual; this is not the time to act as if our regular systems will save us. Please pass it on: GENERAL STRIKE NOW!

On this day in 1959, at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper play their last show as part of the "Winter Dance Party" tour.

HAPPENING NOW: members of Get Free are blocking traffic in front of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the main agency where the Trump Administration and its billionaire backers like Elon Musk have been spearheading efforts to implement MAGA’s Project 2025 agenda.

WEEN tribute band The Wandering Eye is playing this FRIDAY at Hook & Ladder in Minneapolis. (Alan plays guitar in the band.) Love you forever.

The Cactus Blossoms just ended their residency at the Turf Club tonight with an incredible show. Gave me a reason to feel joyful tonight.

"It's empowering and it brings people up into it and, again, they go out and carry it forth into other shit like a weird fucking church or something."

we have a ton of free rapid tests available in the store! come pick up a few (or a lot! we have so many!)

David Lynch's public service announcement (1991) www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Rest In Peace, David Lynch🌹

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

I wrote a thing, because these fires are in the increasingly common category of shocking but not surprising. Neither unprecedented nor unforeseen by those who study the subjects..... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is all for oil execs to have more money than they will ever be able to spend.

Tomorrow is Elvis's 90th birthday. Roy Orbison once said that seeing Elvis perform in 1955 was the weirdest experience he'd had till he saw David Lynch's film "Blue Velvet." Elvis was bizarre, a punk; he would chew gum, burp into the microphone, twitch. One of a kind. youtu.be/Dj-83CaiCU0?...

My mother's had breast cancer, hip replacement, sepsis, fractured back, stroke, shingles, and cataracts. My father had idiopathic nocturnal seizures, tachycardia, heart incidents, and cataracts. Hospital bill? Absolutely nothing. American politicans are lying to you about American healthcare. 🏥

Woody Guthrie’s New Years Resolutions from 1943.

Tape Freaks is tomorrow at 7pm! It's sold out, as usual. But there are generally a few tickets available at the door. www.trylon.org/film/tape-fr...

I wrote a review of A COMPLETE UNKNOWN: the brand new Bob Dylan bio pic. And I guarantee you it is totally unlike any other critique of the film that you are ever going to run in to. merrillmarkoe.substack.com/p/a-complete...

Tell your children and grandchildren we once had a President who embodied warmth, compassion, kindness and tolerance. They might not believe you, but insist that it is possible in America. Maybe it will happen again someday. Rest In Peace, Jimmy Carter.

“It seems somewhat illogical to say, "You have violated God's commandment 'Thou shalt not kill,' so therefore I will kill you.” ― Jimmy Carter Our Endangered Values: America's Moral Crisis

@lowtheband.bsky.social: Alan, any plans for Feast of Lanterns to play in the Twin Cities anytime soon? 😍

Doing a little solo surprise guest set tonight at Icehouse in Minneapolis: file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/ce/14/2B420BF8-223B-439B-A2FC-ED5130537587/IMG_9511.PNG

A serious day-after-Christmas present in New York, where great activism means the Empire State will be sending the bill for climate damages off to Big Oil. The Climate Superfund Bill has been signed!! open.substack.com/pub/billmcki...

The belief that money--paper and metal, a symbol--can keep us safe or make us happy is a psychotic delusion. On this solstice, let's remember that we're all children of Mother Earth, of darkness and light. We need to learn to care for Her and one another.

Just got the first significant snowfall of the season here in Minneapolis. And, although @lowtheband.bsky.social's Christmas album is on heavy rotation at my house this time of year, "July" is my favorite wintertime song. Playing it and thinking of Alan and Mimi. 💝 www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWP3...

In the first half of the 19th Century, 40-50% of children didn't live past the age of five. "Routine death meant relentless grief" Now it's below 1%. Thank public health mandates! #mandateswork minnesotareformer.com/2024/12/18/m...

“Vaster Than Empires” with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross featuring vocals by Alan Sparhawk is out today. This is the alternate version of the track from the new film “Queer” and is available on all streaming platforms. - queer.lnk.to/vasterthanem...
