Bob Dylan brought his Rough and Rowdy Ways tour to Chattanooga last night. This edition featured both guitarists exclusively on acoustic guitars and Dylan on electric piano. He broke out the harmonica for the finale. Always a thrill to be in Dylan’s presence and witness him in action.

The maestro Taj Mahal delivered a fantastic career-spanning set at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta Thursday night. “Many fish bite if you got good bait.”

Jeff Bezos is worth $220 billion. After building that fortune from overworking and exploiting his own workers, Bezos is now developing a fund to acquire manufacturing companies and automate them. Why do we always hear about immigrants taking jobs when the oligarchs are actually to blame?

"She shot the The Beatles in 1963 and found them 'very bright and interesting.' Not long after, she captured Bob Dylan, still just in his 20s, and recalls: 'I think I was the only photographer at the gig.'" Legendary music photographer Val Wilmer’s greatest shoots:

Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive. It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water. Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.

“Family man” and Republican Senator from Ohio accepted money from Epstein's co-conspirator before working to bury the files. How do these people live with themselves?

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

Pregnant immigrants in Minnesota have been postponing their abortions, skipping aftercare, and delaying birth control visits and urgent cancer screening follow-ups to avoid coming in contact with federal immigration agents.

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

More grift. A nursing home super PAC donated millions to Trump’s campaign. And, lo and behold, he made it easier for them to cut staffing to pad their profits. Literally wheeling and dealing on the backs of the elderly and the disabled. This man’s grift knows no low.

Apple & Google removed ICE tracking apps in their app stores. TikTok reportedly suppressed videos criticizing ICE & the shooting of Alex Pretti. Meta blocked Facebook groups tracking ICE & links to a database of agents that the government wants to keep secret. Big Tech is enabling Trump's regime.
