We're on that dark path we all saw coming. It's up to us to find every way we can to turn away from it and find a new course. I wish you all the greatest of good luck for yourself, your people and our country.

This would be in keeping with this administration's penchant for theater.
A former Israeli Defense Forces intelligence officer claims Iran's retaliatory attack on a U.S. base in Qatar was carried out with full knowledge of the Trump administration. Barak Ravid said, "The Iranians coordinated this attack with the Qataris and with the knowledge of the Trump administration."

"In your last conversation with Trump, what did he say?" @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He never brought up the National Guard. Stone cold liar. Said he did. Stone cold liar. Never did. Didn't even really want to talk about LA."
Wishing everyone a great summer and throwing a big THANK YOU to the late Sly Stone for all the music! youtu.be/Bg0tFRea0wA?...

Kristi Noem opposing the rule of law: Departing Polish President Andrzej Duda is holding back attempts to restore rule of law in Poland (vaugely familiar). Karol Nawrocki, right-wing candidate, is likely to do the same. Liberal opponent Rafał Trzaskowski would attempt to restore the rule of law.
U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has urged Poles to vote for conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki in Sunday’s presidential runoff, saying that only his victory would ensure continued U.S. military support and strong ties with Washington.

So a public company that in 2024 had $3.62 million in total revenue (somewhat better than the average McDonald’s restaurant) and suffered a $401 million net loss is raising $2.5 billion in capital to buy … {checks notes} … bitcoin. Guess whose company it is. www.reuters.com/business/tru...

What's incredible to me is that Piers Morgan—who is, politically, a real sh*t-head—is standing firm on the side of the angels in this conversation. Freaky. And it's not even Friday. Very good on him (in this, anyway). Get thoroughly f*cked, racists. www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/v...
Small things can make a big difference. "Runaway" by Del Shannon was a good, but somewhat run-of-the-mill song from 1961. What raised it to the status of a classic of the period was the simple inclusion in the musical break of an instrument from 1947 called the "clavioline". tinyurl.com/esju8d6x

House Republicans have voted down a measure that would stop ICE from using federal resources to detain or deport U.S. citizens. Yes, I said U.S. CITIZENS.
We can't let Trump's reign of idiocy run to another election. This criminal puppet has to be removed from office before the end of his term or his dismantling of the voting system's safeguards will leave us with a dynasty of criminals at our country's helm. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I'm going back and forth on this. Either UAP and alien visitors to Earth are genuine and it's been going on for decades (at least!) or there is a worldwide conspiracy by government leaders to make us believe so (for reasons I can't understand). No in-between. Pick ONE. tinyurl.com/a9tb8pzt
Herb Alpert—the 'A' in A&M Records—was the trumpet player and leader of 'Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass' and (at least this one time) singer on the Burt Bacharach-penned "This Guy's in Love with You" (1968). (I really love Burt Bacharach!) 🎶🎶🎶 youtu.be/o8ByJ1C0iR4?...

@washingtonpost.com Headline should have read “Trump must apologize to Zelensky or resign “ or “Trump humiliates himself as leader of the free world” or Trump bullies Zelensky as world reacts in horror” or “Trump impotent as dealmaker” or “Trump orders Russian flag flown at all U. S. gov’t bldgs.
If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.
When you have freedom of speech, but the people who need to hear what you say plug their ears and shout about how they really have to go, now... 🐘👎 www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
