Robin Guthrie may have been coked up out of his mind when the Cocteau Twins recorded Heaven or Las Vegas, but listen to the French horns on I Wear Your Ring and tell me it wasn’t all worth it.
Not a single expert stated that these wounds were inconsistent with a dog bite. There is no evidence that John was hit by a car and no expert testified that he was. Yet that’s the Commonwealth’s case. This trial is an embarrassment. #freekarenread
They keep talking about punishing protestors as if this country wasn’t FOUNDED BY PROTESTERS WHO ENSHRINED THE RIGHT TO PROTEST, I AM SO TIRED OF HOW STUPID THINGS HAVE BECOME
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
—Harry Truman, 1952
The Democrat leadership should hold their own briefing at the same time and only invite the MSM and independent non MAGA journos. Trump will not like the spotlight not being on him.
We are no longer Democrats or Republicans. We are either patriots fighting the Trump regime or we are complicit in its tyranny. There is no middle ground.
Now is the time for all of us to become activists. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-start-of-week-14
The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
"It's time to fight everywhere and all at once" Pritzker says, blasting "the do nothing crowd" of Dems in response to Republicans:
"We have to abandon the culture of incrementalism that has led us to swallow their cruelty and their callousness with barely a cowardly croak."
I love how MAGA only care about science and religion when it fuels bigotry.
They’ll question climate change and vaccines but cite chromosomes on trans people.
They ignore Jesus’ lessons on loving your neighbor but have every homophobic interpretation of key Bible verses memorized.
Federal law enforcement agents can arrest Venezuelan nationals in the US suspected of belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang without judicial or administrative warrants, according to a directive from Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Yes, they will now begin to expand the professions and number of people they arrest in an attempt to silence any who they feel poses a threat to them. Saying this will be bad is a monumental understatement. The regime is attempting to recreate Putin's Russia here in America.
The constitutional settlement that once governed the US has broken down. The world that we knew is gone. 47's 2nd admin is working their hardest to forge a new settlement: an ugly settlement, based on personal authoritarian power & MAGA culture war.
This piece is excellent!
The US Navy's new Director of Communications, Kristina Wong, is a Jan 6 terrorist and an anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin mouthpiece. Likely an unregistered foreign agent (spy).
Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me??
Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?
