So, I'm really worried about my colleague #BrendaNorrell... I just sent her a message through ProtonMail (which is how we keep in touch). Please send healing energy her way. I will update folks when I hear back from her.

#TruthTellers, the Sir Harry Evans Investigative Journalism Summit, is happening now and it will continue for several hours. I can watch it for free here, and maybe you could too:

Our Stories Are Our Power

Week 2 of "My Tribute To Black History Giants" series is live! This week, I have driven into the world of the Truth-Tellers. I'm talking about the giants like James Baldwin and Ida B. Wells - those that used the pen to shift the world's conscience and give us the vocabulary for our own resilience. Check out my new blog post at chrisokeynnokwam.com and let me know: What book or essay changed your life? #BHM2026 #TruthTellers #BlackLiterature…

Maybe I read #Orwell's 1984 too many times, but doesn't it seem like handing down harsh prison sentences to #JustStopOil activates for just THINKING about a possible #DirectAction constitute #ThoughtCrime?!!

Ida’s Legacy: How #BIPOC #journalists and #publishers became the #authority on #truth and #democracy.

We still collectively reap the #benefit of #IdaBWells’ #work, and we desperately need more #truthtellers like her. We get there by rebuilding our #journalism ecosystem

I've got a suggestion for this week's #FridayNightJukebox (or #JukeboxFridayNight as the case may be). Last week's #TruthTellers theme brought out a whole bunch of awesome tracks, but as some people pointed out, some of the most important truths can be not only inconvenient, but downright traumatic. So many of them tended towards a downer vibe.

To balance that out, how about we make this Friday's theme 'songs that always cheer me up'? I've got a whole bunch of good ones in mind...

Someone pointed out that a lot of people use #JukeboxFridayNight for the #FridayNightJukebox event in the verse. Late last night, I posted a whole bunch of #TruthTellers songs under the latter tag. Check 'em out!

Is you could slit my throat
And with my one last gasping breath
I'd apologise for bleeding on your shirt 🎶

I may have few more #TruthTellers for #JukeboxFridayNight in me.

Here's one from more than two decades ago we should all listen (especially those of us who spend too much time in front of screens).

'The Perverted Dance (Cut the Balls)':
https://piped.video/watch?v=80X0pbCV_t4

This is Slovenian satirist Klemen Slakonja's hilarious homage to his countryman, the eccentric Marxist philosopher Slavoj Zizek. Even if you're completely unfamiliar with Zizek's work and the talking points the song parodies - which have become online memes in themselves - the video is worth it for Slakonja's bang-on mimicry alone. Plus the flash mob breaking into the Cut the Balls dance? Gold.

#FridayNightJukebox #TruthTellers

OK, I know I said 10 songs, but honestly, with so many epic #TruthTellers still unmentioned, how can I not throw in a couple of bonus tracks?

'Permanent Holiday' by Mike Love:

https://piped.video/watch?v=fU7hZ3smj0g

You've probably seen this. I'd be surprised if there's anyone with net access of any kind who hasn't. But I just love the impassioned cry for people to reject the "corporate Babylon" and its "manipulation games", and the incredible musical talent on display by both musicians.

#FridayNightJukebox

'Yell Fire' by Michael Franti and Spearhead:

https://piped.video/watch?v=YQ5phcEsRw4

If I was surprised that nobody has posted DKs (that I could see), I was even more surprised that nobody posted a Spearhead track yet. Although I did see a track from Michael Franti's earlier group Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, a homage to the DKs song 'California Uber Alles'. Franti has been one of the loudest and most consistent #TruthTellers out of the US, with both his music and documentaries.

#FridayNightJukebox

'Oil' by the legendary Formidable Vegetable Sound System:

https://piped.video/watch?v=h__qCy4GhSM

'Permaculture: A Rhymer's Manual', released in 2013, has a song for each of David Holmgren's 12 #permaculture principles. Oil takes on the deadly serious topic of Peak Oil and industrial society's suicidal addiction to burning fossil fuels, and turns it into a whimsical chap-hop track imploring us to "use and value renewable resources and services", as Holmgren put it.

#FridayNightJukebox #TruthTellers

'Let's Lynch the Landlord' by Dead Kennedys:

https://piped.video/watch?v=AyCLcUv7RK8

Speaking of tongues firmly in cheek, DKs had an ability - almost unique among punk bands - to visciously savage capitalists and conservatives with a whimsical sense of fun, rather than a permanent scowl. As house prices and rents have shot through the roof over the decades since this song's release, it's only become more and more relevant.
