Saw this tour at Joe Lewis Arena. He was in top form that night. I still remember his rendition of Gloria.

I mean, even if we could get 10% of the "Better Start To Give A Shit" part of the piece to vote, we might have a great chance to #FlipTheHouseAndSenateBlue

And if you put the bible in the classroom, you have to put the Koran, the Torah, Mahabharata, the Tipitaka, and all the other “sacred” texts into the classroom. Don’t know how the Right would like that.

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

Students need to do their research in a real library, combing through the stacks to find books related to their topic and then read through them to find relevant info for their writing. Nowadays, everything is reduced to a quick blurb with no corroborating evidence to prove that any of it is true.

As a retired English teacher, I can’t stand how some schools are okaying ChatGPT-written papers as term papers. We are raising kids to be functional idiots with no critical thinking skills who believe what the bot tells them it true and so repeat the slop to teachers and fellow students.

It's a sign of how shockingly corrupt this country has become that a nominee for Attorney General is given a hearing by the Senate *the very same week* he has been referred by a judge for possible disbarment for unethical behavior. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Given that Republicans are in charge of the presidency, the House, and the Senate, you can’t with a straight face claim they’ve been discriminated against with voter fraud. They’ve won it all and they’re claiming there is rampant fraud. It’s bullshit.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

When oligarchs talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful. When oligarchs speak of “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability. Know the truth.

52 senators voted in favor of allocating an additional $70 billion to fuel ICE and Border Patrol's campaign of chaos and violence in our communities without any reforms. The House of Representatives must reject this bill and any attempts to give ICE more money to violate our rights.
Graphic reading "These senators voted to deport DACA recipients and supercharge ICE’s violence without any reforms:" Underneath, it reads the names of the 52 senators.

Share a 1970s TV show you love. 📺 #1970s #Television #TV I really liked a lot of shows back then. Here’s a few from my teen years: Family (I had a huge crush on Kristy McNichol); One Day at a Time (ditto on Valerie Bertinelli); Lou Grant; and The Paper Chase (thinking about college).
