So now they will be arresting parents as they drop their kids off at school. Probably in front of the kids and the entire student body. Oh, that'll go well, won't it? And THEN what?? www.chalkbeat.org/2025/01/21/t...

See the link below for a great story about John Lennon from my friend Laurie. It's today's "Great Read" at the NY Times, went live online today. The link below is a gift link so you won't have to worry about the paywall. It's a cool story!

When the Anti-Defamation League says that a Nazi salute by a fucking Nazi is "an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge," you start to realize that there's absolutely NO ONE who can help you and you'll need to do it yourself.

Yeah, I know it's a Hanukkah song. But the lyrics are timeless and don't really have a season. And we have to preserve the light no matter what -- ESPECIALLY now. The lyrics are in the video. In loving memory of Peter Yarrow. May his memory be a blessing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cxK...

He is such a goddamn piece of narcissistic shit. But he won't disappoint us -- the speech he will give that day will likely mention every grievance he has and then some, and I'm sure one of them will be about the flags. It's going to make his 2017 "American carnage" crap look tame by comparison.

Felon, sexual abuser, conman, traitor Trump should be in prison for what he did, not being inaugurated. So, the fact that the slippery, tomato-sauce-stained son-of-bitch is whining about flags being flown in memorial of a true public servant like Jimmy Carter is making my blood boil.

They say this -- but of course, what it really means is they will chip away at actual science through fear, and eventually they will outlaw all vaccines. They want us stupid, sick and eventually dead. That is the goal.

This would effectively make Putin the Speaker. And as I've seen others wondering, how could a foreign born a$$hole be two heartbeats from the Presidency when a foreign born person cannot be President? This is all about "owning the libs" and nothing at all about governing...

One of the very best Christmas songs, IMHO. My son learned to play it on piano and sang it for a recital years ago. Very sadly, the words are still timely. I wish everyone a "hopeful Christmas and a brave New Year." I think we are going to have to be very brave. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

The photo below was taken in Eisenhower Park, East Meadow, NY on December 14, 1980. My friend Laura and I could not get into Manhattan for the vigil for John Lennon so we went to one on LI. The picture appeared on the front page of the Long Island newspaper, Newsday, the following morning.

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie." My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
theguardian.com
Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false
