We gon be alright

Eddie Huang and Jared Tyler - When we say that misogyny and racism/xenophobia are the underpinnings of this election, this is what we mean. And make no mistake, this man is simply being honest about something that most white folks won’t admit to themselves. Barack Obama’s presidency scared them, and they have yet to recover. Add misogyny to that, and you understand why Trump handily beat two women, but lost to a man.

This is a topic that’s coming up more and more, so let’s get this on record. Mind you, there are much more nefarious accusations out there that I won’t bother addressing here. Some folks wear the “misogynoir” label proudly. I won’t waste my time addressing them. But for those folks that may have genuine questions about where these lines should be drawn, here’s a handy explainer.

Will you be watching Tuesday’s debate? Project 2025 is sure to make an appearance. I hope they ask Trump about the exact policy recommendations in that document he disagrees with. Cause I couldn’t find any. Here’s a reminder that Trump’s policies and Project 2025 policies are essentially identical. Watch what they do, not what they say.

I Understand MY Assignment

I had a great time playing South Jazz Kitchen in Philly last night. It's always good to get back in a musical space with all that's going on in the world right now. A much-needed palate-cleanser. Ready for the battle ahead. Thanks to Greg Bryant, Marcus Finnie and Mike King for their stellar musicianship. And shoutout to the staff and management at South -- they truly know how to take care of their musicians. Excellent venue!
