www.reddit.com/r/TikTokCrin... I have never expected to be living in the middle of history repeating itself.

People who use the word "weaponize", as Mr. Rubio did in announcing bans on people who are behaving peacefully, immediately discredit themselves. It's an odious tactic in pursuit of an odious objective: attacking people's freedom of speech and association.

Bari Weiss is as much a journalist as Jeffrey Epstein was a childcare specialist.

Happy Holidays from #MusicMonday!

This year, thinking this is the darkest day seems optimistic.

It's a #MusicMonday Hanukkah #twofer! Amanda Duncan will get you looking for your dreidel too!

#MusicMonday mourns the loss of those at Bondi Beach and Brown, and we remember the children lost at the Sandy Hook shootings: Charlotte, Daniel, Olivia, Josephine, Dylan, Madeleine, Catherine, Chase, Jesse, Ana, James, Grace, Emilie, Jack, Noah, Caroline, Jessica, Avielle, Benjamin, and Allison.

I'm getting a little tired of people saying that the administration is incompetent. Au contraire. They have clear objectives. Yes, they happen to be to the detriment of every American and most people around the world, except for those people who pay to play, but they're meeting them.

Trump might consider pardoning Hegseth. Doing so would make him even more culpable than he already is.

Would you believe me if I told you this was really the first love song that for me involved love? #MusicMonday

Don't sell you're soul for gold. #MusicMonday

Apart from this CNN article, did you happen to notice all of the reporting around the killing of six and wounding of sixteen people in Mississippi? Me neither. America's fetish with guns continues.

I'm going to say something unpopular: I'm not a huge Jimmy Kimmel fan, and just as was the case with John Bolton, I resent having to defend freedom of speech through him. But just like Bolton, it really isn't about him. It's about Trump and his authoritarian sycophantic lackeys.

Two #MusicMonday rules: don't play the same tune twice and avoid the repeating performers. So for a #twofer, we're violating both rules with the amazing Pink Martini and Storm Large whose voice is larger than large.

Keep trying. #MusicMonday

#MusicMonday celebrates the great Peter Schickele and PDQ Bach!

#MusicMonday harkens back to 1975 and the world of Wonder Woman, staring the delightful Lynda Carter, whose activism even today makes her a wonder woman!

#MusicMonday finds something old in something new today.

#MusicMonday bids farewell to Tom Lehrer

#MusicMonday remembers Jakob Nowell's amazing talents.

Happy #MusicMonday!

Happy #MusicMonday!

In an event that resembled Soviet May Day, Trump once again used our troops for his own political purposes. That harms their readiness by demoralizing them, pitting them against friends and family. My thoughts are with our serving members.

We have been here before.

Who knew that Michael Milken and Bull Connor would yield Donald Trump?

In today’s installment of WTF, Trump says of Musk, “you don’t disrespect the office of the President”. Well (a) he did nothing but that when Obama and Biden served, and (b) more importantly one should not disgrace the office as he has repeatedly done.

On this day, 160,000 troops landed on the French coast after years of planning, to retake western Europe and to put an end to a tyrannical deadly regime. It would not have happened under Trump. Democracy is really on the ropes.

To know him is to hate him (in this case both of them).

You can't unsee the video of this 1980 anthem. Sorry about that, but Iris knew how to rock (just not how to dress). #MusicMonday

As votes of confidence in the economy go, this ain't one of them.

As we commemorate Memorial Day in the US, here is a WWII hit from Glenn Miller, who himself payed the ultimate price serving his country to defeat fascism and tyranny in the very year this song was released, 1944.

Many were introduced to this Nina Simone masterpiece in museum scene from The Thomas Crown Affair, but it predates even the original Thomas Crown Affair, and is a masterpiece on its own. #MusicMonday
