In this expedition, Neonn talks to DSA Sacramento Co-Chair Jonah Paul about the philosophical & strategic path to expanding human rights to include housing, starting with rent control and working toward full-on social housing policies like they’ve already achieved in more progressive places. We talk about different catalysts for political activation, why millennials are trending towards socialism, the nature of capitalist exploitation & how to respond to it, rhetorical strategies to change public opinion, the effect of the 2008 collapse on today’s housing crisis, direct ballot measures vs. routine legislation, the futility of corrupt neoliberal solutions, the actual mechanics of rent control, how American real estate became a tax shelter, how to fight gentrification & financialization, what a decommodified housing policy would actually look like, how inadequate housing is detrimental to public health, egalitarian reasoning from humanist first principles, DSA as a great way to organize for working class power, utopia as a pluralistic participatory democracy, & lots more fun activist philosophy.. 🎃

❝ For millennia, great thinkers have contemplated the meaning and purpose of human existence; but while most assumed that humanity was the end point of creation or the pinnacle of evolution, Ted Chu makes the provocative claim that the human race may in fact be a means rather than an end–that humankind will give rise to evolutionary successors. In this wide-ranging and authoritative work, Chu reexamines the question of human purpose in light of the extraordinary developments of science and technology. Arguing that a deep understanding of our place in the universe is required to navigate the magnitude of the choices that lie ahead, he surveys human wisdom from both East and West, traces the evolutionary trajectory that has led to this point, and explores the potentials emerging on the scientific frontier. The book addresses the legitimate fears and concerns of “playing God” but embraces the possibility of transcending biological forms and becoming or creating entirely new life-forms. ❞

Von Poe VII
FOREVER VILLAINOUS
Revolutionary Gothic Hip-Hop Album [2018]
“The man you hear above, is a reflective man, who’s able to look back and appreciate all the lessons learned throughout his twenties (a few more years for I enter them 30s). And what I find most compelling, is that this trilogy embodies my twenties. Not just on some “I made a project during these years”, but more along the lines of having created a bit of a audio diary that I can always look back on. I’m proud of that.
I was locked up in this room, this apartment, writing and recording. When I left, it was to see my granny and help my pops with her situation. So I appreciate everyone’s patience, and I appreciate the love and support y’all continue to give.
The final chapter to the three-part TPOLAW Trilogy, and the ending (and beginning) of a story half a decade in the making. Since 2012, back when I first began recording The Purity of Love and War, my story has been something that I’ve enjoyed sharing through my music very much. So much has happened, and had happened throughout the years, and to have lived long enough to share that journey with you all has been a beautiful blessing. I’ve had my ups and downs like any artist I’m sure, but to be here in this position is something I’m very grateful for. Take a second to enjoy the sounds, read over the lyrics, and make sure to be on the lookout for the visuals that are to come with this project (and the others as well). I’ve enjoyed this journey so much, and I look forward to the next chapters. Forever Villainous.”

The Wachowskis
Cloud Atlas
Epic Abstract Revolutionary Sci-Fi Film [2012]
❝ Cloud Atlas is an epic science fiction film written and directed by The Wachowskis and Tom Tykwer. Adapted from the 2004 novel of the same name by David Mitchell, the film has multiple plots set across six different eras, which Mitchell described as “a sort of pointillist mosaic.” The official synopsis describes it as “an exploration of how the actions of individual lives impact one another in the past, present and future, as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero, and an act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution.” Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, and Jim Broadbent lead an ensemble cast.
The film was produced by Grant Hill, Stefan Arndt, the Wachowskis, and Tykwer. During four years of development, the project met difficulties securing financial support; it was eventually produced with a $128 million budget provided by independent sources, making it one of the most expensive independent films of all time. Production began in September 2011 at Studio Babelsberg in Potsdam-Babelsberg, Germany.
It premiered on 8 September 2012 at the 37th Toronto International Film Festival and was released on 26 October 2012 in conventional and IMAX cinemas. It polarized critics, and has been included on various Best Film and Worst Film lists. It was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score for Tykwer (who co-scored the film), Johnny Klimek, and Reinhold Heil. It received several nominations at the Saturn Awards including Best Science Fiction Film, winning for Best Editing and Best Make-up. ❞ [Wikipedia]written & directed by The Wachowskis
based on the novel by David Mitchell -
“Between 1929 and 1941, the Communist Party organized and led a radical, militantly antiracist movement in Alabama — the center of Party activity in the Depression South. Hammer and Hoe documents the efforts of the Alabama Communist Party and its allies to secure racial, economic, and political reforms. Sensitive to the complexities of gender, race, culture and class without compromising the political narrative, Robin Kelley illustrates one of the most unique and least understood radical movements in American history.
The Alabama Communist Party was built from scratch by working people who had no Euro-American radical political tradition. It was composed largely of poor blacks, most of whom were semiliterate and devoutly religious, but it also attracted a handful of whites, including unemployed industrial workers, iconoclastic youth, and renegade liberals. Kelley shows that the cultural identities of these people from Alabama’s farms, factories, mines, kitchens, and city streets shaped the development of the Party. The result was a remarkably resilient movement forged in a racist world that had little tolerance for radicals.
In the South race pervaded virtually every aspect of Communist activity. And because the Party’s call for voting rights, racial equality, equal wages for women, and land for landless farmers represented a fundamental challenge to the society and economy of the South, it is not surprising that Party organizers faced a constant wave of violence.
Kelley’s analysis ranges broadly, examining such topics as the Party’s challenge to black middle-class leadership; the social, ideological, and cultural roots of black working-class radicalism; Communist efforts to build alliances with Southern liberals; and the emergence of a left-wing, interracial youth movement. He closes with a discussion of the Alabama Communist Party’s demise and its legacy for future civil rights activism.”

Desert Dwellers
Epic Cinematic Psychedelic Bass Producers
“North America bookings: Mint Talent Group – Mary: bookings@desertdwellers.org
International bookings: Sofa Beats – Itay: international@desertdwellers.org
Management: jesse@pivotal-agency.com; cole@pivotal-agency.com
“Desert Dwellers is the convergence of music producers Amani Friend and Treavor Moontribe, who honed their individual crafts in the mystical deserts of California and New Mexico, long before electronic music reached mainstream. Amani and Treavor combine the raw sounds of the natural world, wrapped in dance-floor and chill-out productions; blending deep bass, earthy percussion, etheric voices, and cross-cultural instrumentation into a sonic incense for the mind and body. Desert Dwellers’ unique global sounds are a bridge between worlds, and their label Desert Trax has become a platform to spotlight similar alchemical artists.
“Brought together in the late ‘90s through the legendary Moontribe gatherings, in 2019 the duo celebrated their 20th anniversary of making music together, adding depth to their reputation as a pioneering and prolific downtempo, psybass, and tribal-house act from the United States. The culmination of two decades of partnership has forged their Beatport number 1 selling electronica album BREATH, out on Black Swan Sounds, which features more than 20 musicians and vocalists over a 10-track nomadic journey.
“Desert Dwellers’ studio output is matched only by their extensive touring history, which juxtaposes performances at America’s most iconic festivals like Symbiosis, Lightning in a Bottle, Burning Man, and Coachella, with high-powered sets at the biggest trance festivals around the world; BOOM in Portugal and Rainbow Serpent in Australia. Desert Dwellers are equally at home in the clubs as they are in the yoga studios, and the jungles, deserts, and mountains of far-flung international festivals.”Categories: Bass, Cinematic, Downtempo, EDM, House, Music, Psychedelic Bass, Tribal
