Blogger says, "Shut up and sing the songs that made you famous." I'm fine with #Springsteen singing,"Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king." Or, "The criminal clown has stolen the throne, he steals what he can never own."

A couple of years before my time. I do wonder, though, about the people who went, "that Hungry Heart guy has a new album out, I'll check it out." Then finding a song about a serial killer pleading to be executed.

Reform: "What shall we do to show our finances aren't dodgy now?" Also Reform: "Take £36m from a man who pled guilty to violating money laundering protections and paid a $10m fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "a money laundering platform.”"
Headline saying Crypto billionaire Ben Delo says he wants to ensure Reform has a level playing field at the poll's.

Trump delivered his State of the Union in the very chamber his MAGA extremists attacked on January 6 to help him overturn an election. And corporate media barely bothered to say it out loud. That erasure — that quiet smoothing-over — is exactly how authoritarianism gets normalized.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Just got back from watching Deliver Me From Nowhere. Not what I was expecting at all. I can see why some reviewers were confused, as it's not really a biopic, it's more about male mental health. A man is spiralling down into depression and is becoming suicidal. However, as his dad (literally)...

The far right has been looking for a reason to commit mass political violence and it’s extremely important to unite around the principle that all political violence in America is unthinkable and unacceptable.

I’m sorry to say but the claim that the US under Trump is going to provide Ukraine with militarily enforced security guarantees, is simply the newest version of the Trump will hit Russia hard with sanctions delusion. Neither will ever happen, but if it makes you feel better….
