David Valadao (R-CA-22) literally says that military aid to Israel helps the US because the money goes to the production and TESTING of American weapons systems. 520451

Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.jessica.substack.comCarrying That Weight—AgainI can’t stop thinking about the Cornell rape case 141126312

Ted Leo 🍉 @tedleo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Which is just to say that if you think you’re siloing yourself off from the working class by NOT listening to modern country music, you are, in fact, in a silo of your own creation. 7532
Ted Leo 🍉 @tedleo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Entering the modern country music/working class discourse to say that New York City did not even HAVE a country music station for the entirety of my youth in the 70s & 80s. Closest the working classes got would’ve been Glenn Campbell (and specifically, “Rhinestone Cowboy” or “Gentle on my Mind”). 11904

Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game. 361730397

Ted Leo 🍉 @tedleo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Sincerely, do one minute of work on understanding how the generational cycles of parenting and growing up have informed who you are. Think about the ones that retain value to you and why, identify the ones you need to break and break them, and visualize a BETTER future for your own kids. 4602
