What we're seeing in real time is the deployment of a Secret Police tasked with terrorizing those who live in communities insufficiently subservient to the regime. It's a form of spectacle violence designed undermine the rule of law & any semblance of accountability.

Sad to hear about the passing of Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead yesterday. He was part of a storied musical legacy influencing countless jam bands. His music and the Dead was the soundtrack to many a summer night. I will spin Playing in the Band tonight in his honor.

This snippet perfectly illustrates why we need to completely reform the Supreme Court Because it was a SCOTUS packed with MAGA judges-chosen by Trump himself-that shamefully deprived America of its rightful justice by granting him immunity and destroying any chance Jack Smith had to prosecute him

The last five decades have been marked by an explosion in wealth inequality and a growing distrust of America’s institutions. Many Americans believe that the system as a whole is rigged against them. They're right.

So is Grenell just going to cry on social media every day because artists want nothing to do with his twisted MAGA perversion of the Kennedy Center? This seems like a great opportunity to showcase MAGA creative and artistic talent. I’m sure they will draw big patriotic crowds.

We need a Shadow Kennedy Center to step up. A performance space where these artists can perform, connect with their audiences and make up for some lost ticket sales. Their show of courage should be rewarded and celebrated. Publicly and loudly.

Until Trump began conspiracies about mail voting, Republicans were fully on board with GRACE PERIODS for ballots to arrive as long as postmarked by Election Day. They passed it overwhelmingly in KS, OH, & elsewhere. But now Trump hates it. So 4 red states—KS, OH, ND, UT—all banned it this year.

Ohio is the fourth GOP-run state this year to ban ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. A Supreme Court case could force that policy nationwide next year.

I’ve never stopped buying CDs. If musicians are going to thrive, they need our support by purchasing physical media and merchandise along with attending shows which not only helps the artists, but the venue owners as well. If there’s not a healthy artistic ecosystem, the whole industry goes away.

Since the 2010s, streaming has dominated media consumption, and with that, sales of DVDs and CDs have sunk. However, there’s been a revival in demand for discs. The trend is driven by Gen Z looking for the novelty of “vintage” media.
