Who Doesn’t Love Free Music?

One of my favorite things about the Occupy Movement so far has been seeing individual and group creativity seemingly rise to levels I never thought I would see. Between photos, videos, music, protest signs, and everything in between I get to somehow experience new types of art every single day.

Wisconsin has been occupying the Madison Capitol since before occupations were cool, and as a Wisconsin native I do tend to show them a bit of extra love when I can. I was given the link for two great political songs by Wisconsin-based hip-hop crew Another Exoneration. Hyphon, Efftupp, & Th Mnmlst lead off with the first track Recall Walker (PoliticSwag), and Guess Prefontaine & Talk-O-Destiny run the second track If My Love.

Click here to listen to their songs for free! Their 2-song album is also available to download for a very small donation and a portion of all purchases will be donated to The Democratic Party of Wisconsin and their effort to recall Governor Scott Walker.

Their next show is February 4, 2012 at Warehouse in La Crosse, WI.

Vanessa Guillen: MST Martyr?

Vanessa Guillen was bludgeoned with a hammer, on base, in the armory, her remains were removed in a box. Several people saw, now deceased due to suicide, Aaron Robinson struggling with the box the night Vanessa disappeared. Guillen was a private and Robinson was a specialist. They both worked in the armory but in the army that small rank difference means a lot, and many, (if not most) exploit that.

Prison Abolition in the Age of Coronavirus

In the Prison Abolition Movement, it is a well-known fact that Police have a shared history with Slave Catching. There was a need to capture runaway slaves in metropolitan areas before that there was no need for police. Most of the lynchings of Jim Crow South were well attended and represented by police and how enforcement is distributed today is reflection of that history. Too many police and prison guards are former military to ignore the link to the prison industrial complex.
