UPDATE: The charges against her have been dropped “in the interest of justice” (she bit one of the brownshirts that assaulted her) and the private security firm has lost their license to operate. I hope she sues them into oblivion.

It was brilliant for so many reasons, not just artistically but politically. And apart from two songs from DAMN, it was mostly new material!

Or her Tiny Desk Concert? Or the MTV Awards performance where she dressed in Joan of Arc armor and shot A GODDAMN FLAMING CROSSBOW BOLT before singing "Good Luck Babe"? All incredible.

Reading Peter Ames Carlin's "The Name of this Band is R.E.M." won't make you feel better about EVERYTHING, but it'll come pretty close.

Substitute “Biden” for “Trump” and half the country would be screaming for the Twenty-fifth Amendment to be applied

Donald Trump fired the head of TSA. He illegally fired the entire Aviation Security Advisory Committee mandated by Congress. And he put a hiring freeze on FAA air traffic controllers. The buck stops with him.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Declassified CIA Guide to Sabotaging Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

The World War II-era "Simple Sabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It took one week to get Trump voters to go from “eggs need to be cheaper” to “let seniors starve”.

Undocumented immigrants are not criminals. When you are in the U.S. without documentation, that’s a civil violation, not a crime. Whereas, Donald Trump committed 34 felonies, making him a criminal. Hope that helps.

Do one thing every day. Avoid exhaustion by being intentional. My State Senator, Rusty Black, sent out his newsletter saying he is working to overturn the will of voters on the abortion amendment. I responded to him. It took about two minutes. Work intentionally. Don’t get worn down.

Rusty,

We voted on Amendment 3 and it passed. If I can deal with a lazy, no good, lying, cheating, felon traitor being my President, you can deal with the will of Missourians on abortion.

It passed. Move on.

If you’re upset about Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, wait until I tell you about the time Donald Trump refused to accept the results of the election he lost, plotted a coup & incited an insurrection before deciding not to attend Joe Biden’s.

If a church doesn’t have a food pantry or a soup kitchen or a closet full of clothes and blankets open to the public or isn’t showing up at natural disasters to help, why does that church have a tax-exempt status?

Leaving this here for folks that think the GOP is “good” for the economy! Per Simon Rosenberg’s simondwc.bsky.social Hopium Chronicles: “Since 1989 52 million jobs have been created in America. 50 million, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them, over 36 years”!

Predatory Capitalism is: Healthcare for profit. Education for profit. Housing for profit. Prisons for profit. Utilities for profit. Food for profit. War for profit. We must find the courage & compassion to evolve beyond this neverending cycle of greed & suffering.
