Sonya's version of Townes Van Zandt's No Place to Fall has been brilliantly animated by The Mark of Nancy (Mark Lerner and Nancy Howell). With musical support by Elizabeth Mitchell and Daniel Littleton, it's a captivating combination. youtube.com/watch?v=2Xpg2Q…

I wrote about Sonya and the new album, "You've Been a Friend to Me," in my OUR LAND newsletter. See the second item: link.motherjones.com/public/35422739 But I'd like to make it easy for everyone to hear the beautiful music she left behind. So here are songs available on YouTube.... 2/

Here's a weekend thread to make your life better. Nine years ago, my friend Sonya Cohen Cramer died of cancer at the age of 50. She was wonderful in many ways—including as a singer. Her voice was stunning. Smithsonian Folkways just released an album of her songs.... 1/

Today on @TheWorld, my story on the ups & downs of the Central American Minors program... a safe & legal way for kids from the Northern Triangle to reunite w parents in the US. It's small. But is it scaleable? Will it survive a court challenge and the Nov. election? @KQEDnews

But ICE lawyers are appealing. They want to send her to Mexico, and keep her locked up until they do. 12/

On the day the Trump administration aimed to end the #2020Census count... and as the timeline for the final push is tied up in court... I talk with @RadioDevin about why the census is so important. @TheBayKQED @KQEDnews

Donald Trump is not pretending to be anything other than what he is: someone who will not condemn white supremacists.

The election results won’t be clear on Nov 3. Trump will claim victory, GOP will try to stop counting, Nazis will bring guns. The movement has a plan, but what will the media, the Congress, big business do? This is not a drill.

I've found it a little difficult to talk about Monopolized, it's kind of about everything I've reported on in the last 5 years. So I'm glad to run an exclusive excerpt at @TheProspect. I can tell you a little bit about it: prospect.org/culture/books/…

kqed.org/news/11827388/… Chanthon Bun got COVID-19 at San Quentin. If he'd been transferred to ICE detention, he would have brought the virus with him. As the disease rages through many locked facilities, some advocates are calling for a halt to transfers from CA prisons to ICE.
