I don't ever enjoy watching anyone encounter our criminal punishment system for the first time, is a thing I would have said a couple of minutes ago
Enjoying the occasional super entitled white person encounter a system they fairly assumed isn't supposed to be for them seems like a fair exception maybe, especially when they aren't actually locked up and asking for something this ridiculous in a case of so much public interest
Thinking of the client who was denied release from ICE custody and condemned to die in Honduras by an immigration judge for breaking into an empty dive bar at 3 AM in the coldest part of a brutal Boston winter
Thinking of the client denied release from ICE custody and condemned by an immigration judge to die in El Salvador bc he covered for his gf after she totaled his car

For 2 yrs my band has met up weekly to jam out our COVID anxieties with a view to what we're scheduled for in 17 days: a paid gig in a prime time slot at a venue we love for an enthusiastic crowd. Hoping we'll actually get to do this more than I've hoped for anything in awhile.
Can 5 middle-aged fully boosted guys make it 2 weeks through this surge without even one positive among us? Will live music even be a thing by then? Will I ever be able to solo over Freddie King's "Goin' Down"? In a just world I would only be stressing over one of these things

Registering and regulating everyone who uses an extremely dangerous mode of personal transportation is considered a public good for all; states eat the cost

Yet working legally in jobs without which the US would collapse is a *privilege* for which immigrants must bear every cent

There are so many other things wrong with this that i should start with but the music catapults the whole thing from a bad joke to a surreal journey into incipient madness
This is not something that needs to "improve." Fortunately there's such an easy answer to all of this though: #FreeThemAll and end all U. S. immigration detention
