Music has shaped who I am since childhood. I love & listen to multiple genres & regularly go to live performances. The feeling you get when you hear a song you connect with is life affirming. Something needs to be done to protect us & them from Ticketmaster, Live Nation, AI, etc.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.” The cuts: 📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage) 📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage) 📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage) 📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

Q: Why are my electricity bills going up? A: You are likely (a) in a region impacted by Trump tariffs and retaliatory price hikes in electricity from Canada, or (b) in a region subsidizing billionaire-owned data farms for AI or crypto mining. It’s not because of immigrants or drag queens.

So this is what happened with JD’s San Diego stunt. Firing artillery over civilian areas not a hot idea. OTOH, everyone was focused on No Kings and hardly anyone noticed. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/u...

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.” @opinion.bloomberg.com #CPI www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California. Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking www.huffpost.com/entry/chicag...

Translation: After we built an addictive tool based on stolen data, exploited labor and plundering the environment, which pushes kids to commit suicides, we were like, why not cash in on "erotica"? After all, this is what building so-called AGI that "benefits humanity" looks like.

“In promising to terminate the informant arrangements, Justice Dept. officials say Rubio threatened to undercut years of work by US law enforcement to apprehend and secure the cooperation of high-ranking members of MS-13, one of the world’s most deadly gangs.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

@nicolefoy.bsky.social is the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. She did it because the government isn’t. This is what she found.

Or they'll makeout with each other and order Chinese.

I take no pleasure in this but going to a different city with your dumb buddies and getting badly injured because you antagonized a bunch of strangers and fell down twice chasing the 110lb teenager who stole your sunglasses actually is North Jersey Excellence, of a sort.

This NYC kid gets it

Russians started a human safari in Pokrovsk too. Videos are just civilians getting slaughtered under the surveillance of a drone. This will obviously not make it to headlines but please don’t let russians kill in silence

In Giuffre's 2015 civil case against Maxwell, she named: "All staff and employees at Mar-a-Lago during 1999-2002" as individuals who may have knowledge of Maxwell's crimes. Shown here, paragraph 91 7 other Epstein survivors also can be placed at Mar-a-Lago Giuffree not the only one #Epstein

My feelings, exactly.

A driver intentionally drove their car up on the curb to hit a protester in Ohio yesterday. This is the protester’s reaction, broken leg and all. You may break our bones, but you will not break our spirit.

This wasn’t that long ago… A reporter asking white folks in 1964 what they thought about the Civil Rights Act. And the answers are just 🤦🏽‍♂️

Ask the Germans what happens after the Regime falls. Anyone who works for Homeland Security should be very worried about what comes next. Ever seen a Stasi get shot in the head in broad daylight and nobody caring? I have.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M See the problem?

"Person impeached for insurrection sends billions to Argentina during US gov't shutdown" and "Felon convicted of fraud pardons felon convicted of fraud" and "Long-time Epstein associate posts video depicting himself as a king dumping diarrhea on Americans from a fighter jet" are factual statements

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

#CancelSpotify They are running ICE ads. They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity. Spread the word. www.snopes.com/fact-check/s...

We're calling him Diarrhea Don. He's owning the libs so hard with this, it's brilliant. Everyone talking about the president's uncontrollable bowels, how manly and cool his uncontrollably explosive shits are.

🚨🚨🚨 ICE is out in full force in Santa Ana today, October 19 2025. If you are at risk, STAY INSIDE. If you can safely go out, patrol the neighborhood and warn people that ICE is roving and to go inside!!! 🚨🚨🚨 Did you protest yesterday?? The community needs you today!!

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

Here we go again. Sigh.

Troll bots all lining up on fb to say it’s not real bc the trees aren’t orange in October. Here’s my Boston backyard right now, 10/19 at 62 degrees:

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better." (The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

can i get an lol

Oklahoma City. #NoKings 👑 @oklahomavoice.com oklahomavoice.com/briefs/over-...

Everyone got called out at No Kings

Free balls. 🎾 #NoKings

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

Finally came across video of an arrest at a #NoKings event yesterday. 🙄

If only there was some national energy Democratic candidates could tap into. Anyway, back to my reservations about Mamdani...

CBS: In what Homeland Security says was “an extreme act of judicial activism”, Chicago federal judge Sara Ellis tells Homeland that her order requiring federal agents to wear and turn on body cameras was not a suggestion, but an order.

My favorite exchange from my hometown #NOkings rally today: A lady driving by yelled JESUS IS COMING YA'LL! at us I shouted back TELL HIM TO HURRY UP And the lovely hair done Fully made up southern lady in front of me yelled HONEY, DON'T YOU DEPORT HIM! It was beautiful.

Respect. 👏

and another thing: he’s not mad. please don’t put it in the newspaper that he got mad.
