You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I read the āSave America Act,ā so you donāt have to. Most of the media apparently *hasnāt* read it because, if they had, they would be sounding the alarm about the provision in Point 1, below, which almost none of them have even mentioned. I hope this summary helps raise awareness. 1/

This quote from
@carolecadwalla.bsky.social
is incredible: "AI, like war, is another hyper-masculine fantasy of God-like power. Itās nothing of the sort, itās just a story, a myth, thatās being imposed on us by a self-interested cohort of unaccountable men succoured by a pliant and incurious press."

Meanwhile, hospitalization coverage for Medicare is forecast to be insolvent by 2031, and social security by 2040. But hey, congrats on tax cuts for billionaires, I guess.

I don't want you dead! she says, calm as the sun. I want all the people like you to be gone. I don't want you there in the places I go; I don't understand, and I don't want to know. That's worse than you wanting me dead, I replied. You're overreacting, she cheerfully lied.

It's grimly comic that SCOTUS told Trump he's essentially an unaccountable dictator if he's willing to exert that authority in virtually any area and now he's (kind of understandably) confused about why it doesn't apply to tariffs

launched a fundraiser to help me start their investigative news desk. We're hoping to raise $25k to help pay for lab tests, analyze ICE data that the Daily Memo's been compiling + work with more freelancers. Been dreaming of this for years!

Still hasn't met its goal, which is SO disappointing. Please share this widely. The Good and Pretti families deserved every penny they got, but it's SO disappointing that the victims of color can't even come close to raising the same amounts for their families.

A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy. 47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats. 52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats. (By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isnāt sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

ICE hasn't stopped brutalizing people or shredding the Constitution, it's just that corporate media turned the camera as the call for action got too loud and the Democrats stepped in and made sure the issue got changed. If you sit for a second, you'll recognize that's what happened with BLM, too.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

In the olden times, U.S. presidents tried to help America process hard sad events, with at least ritual nods to the solemnity of the occasion. That would obviously be hard here, for a variety of reasons, beginning with it's his fault.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum. Backing Kristi Noemās impeachment is the bare minimum. Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum. ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

Corporate Democrats donāt want to abolish ICE because they helped make it what it is today and they focus on training because they want to retain a robust force but would rather they werenāt so openly fascistic Weāve been in a good cop bad cop situation our entire lives and itās past time to see it
