I know it's a lot of promo today, but:
1) it's bandcamp friday, when artists get max $ from the platform
2) that money isn't going to me; the album is a rent relief fundraiser
3) the EP opens with a clip from an Octavia Butler interview that flows into one of the best 24 bar verses I've written:
Weaving our Worlds has compiled resources and diverse left perspectives from and on Iran. Rather than reduce Iran to various intra-left ideological debates, these provide analysis based in the context, specificity and history.

A reference to the Boromir meme from Lord of the Rings in which Boromir is saying "One does not simply walk into Mordor!" only this has Guante's face superimposed over Boromir and the text reads "One does not simply walk into Minnesota"
Buy some new music from @guante.info and @seemore.bsky.social and support a rent relief fund here in Minneapolis - all $ from album sales are going to Neighbors Helping Neighbors!
Found a way to contribute & made this in honor of one of the new tracks... secretrivers.bandcamp.com/album/spring...
They should've invested funds into Boynton (or I don't know, their students!) but they chose a vice provost of AI instead.
mind boggling that some of the most disrespectful, rude, and manipulative people I have ever met in my entire life LOVE to talk to EVERYONE about "healing justice" and "healing modalities" and "the importance of protecting your peace"
Months of work and millions of dollars raised by thousands of our residents to help keep people in their homes comes down to the signature of one person. We’re calling on Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives. This policy temporarily gives residents 30 more days to help prevent evictions.
My mistake - they were BOTH were teenagers, both citizens.
"There is no neutral here. There is a community who is making demands, and there’s a Trump administration who is trying to use corporations to do its bidding. They have a decision to make."

Target has allowed ICE to abduct its workers and use its property for staging. Now Minnesota organizers are building a pressure campaign against the company. "There is no neutral here," says labor organizer Veronica Mendez Moore. Vital reporting by Isabela Escalona.
"And when the discourse of the powerful is evil on one side and indifference on the other, let your heart be a whistle. Loud, piercing, taking up as much space as possible, a reminder that the call is not to say something perfect; it is to make noise."
that new BTS content from GQ was about them "going undercover on X" what the actual fuck
Hey fuck you Target CEO Michael Fiddelke. These ICE goons kidnapped two of your employees - one of them was a teenager! - and dumped one of them, bleeding, in the parking lot of Walmart.
Noem is going to another job within the Federal government. Not prison.
I truly do think all of the "Noem out, Mullin in" posts and stories are failing American democracy right now!
Trump is announcing his nominee.
That's it.
If the Senate majority wants to confirm him, they're a part of this—even after knowing what they know now.
And that matters come November.
Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida. I thank Kristi for her service at "Homeland." Serving 10 years in the United States House of Representatives, and 3 in the Senate, Markwayne has done a tremendous job representing the wonderful People of Oklahoma, where I won all 77 out of 77 Counties — in 2016, 2020, and 2024! A MAGA Warrior, and former undefeated professional MMA fighter, Markwayne truly gets along well with people, and knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Advance our America First Agenda. As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a fantastic advocate for our incredible Tribal Communities. Markwayne will work tirelessly to Keep our Border Secure, Stop Migrant Crime, Murderers, and other Criminals from illegally entering our Country, End the Scourge of Illegal Drugs and, MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Markwayne will make a spectacular Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter! PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP 865 ReTruths 2.64k Likes Mar 05, 2026, 1:41 PM
NEWS: President Trump says Sec. Kristi Noem is out at DHS.
Trump also says that Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin will be his next nominee for secretary of DHS, although Trump doesn't word it that way.
Finally, he says Noem will have a new federal role in a new initiative soon to be announced.
Hear directly from Aliya Rahman, who was brutally pulled from her car and assaulted by ICE on her way to a doctor’s appointment, on the importance of extending the pre-eviction notice to 60 days. We are proud to have passed this policy today and are calling on Mayor Frey to sign it immediately.
A student I met last year, who had faced some of the same struggles and disadvantages that I have, asked me if I ever questioned whether I belonged at the table with people who hadn't faced such issues. I told her that I never experience those doubts professionally and that she shouldn't either.
I profiled Jason Chavez, the Minneapolis city council member who has been embedded in community efforts to combat ICE.
“To leave your constituents to face off with a racist fascist regime on their own, without having someone that has some power…I could not let my constituents be out there alone.”
We're generally also not good at making eye contact when we walk past each other on the street, but I feel like that changed too. As the weather warms up, there is also an extreme dissonance in trying to be smiley to other pedestrians out on walks while also side-eyeing every car that drives past.
also, lots of convergence around "Arirang" as I'm reading this book, March 1, the comeback album all this month.
I'm reading an advance copy of this now and it's so good. I am pacing myself because it's super unsettling to be reading it after (during) this winter in Minneapolis.
Sounds so cathartic lol
who else feels like this month's tornado sirens are an outward expression of your innermost spirit right now
I'm disappointed about the Diplo collab with BTS. I wanted to be wholeheartedly excited about this comeback, my first real one since becoming a fan, and now, I'm not.
If you disagree with any of this and we follow each other, we don't have to follow each other, no hard feelings.
Conflict avoidance???
A commando at 18yo, embittered by his brother's death in the 1976 Entebbe raid. He launched his career with memorial conferences about a "civilisational" battle.
In 19 yrs as PM, he's repeatedly attacked Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Iran, plus Qatar.
This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

To be fair - they work and play hard *and* they have a whole crew of managers, trainers, staff, and more at work and probably at home to support them with a lot of it :)
