Speak Truth to Power.....

Released 36 years ago today, "Bleach", Nirvana's debut album. Like most, I didn't know about the album until after the release of Nevermind. I picked up the reissue CD in 1992. At the time, an album that came out 36 years earlier would have been something like "Elvis Presley", his debut album.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

In a healthy information environment, this would be front-page news.

I kept hearing the phrase "Pope from Chicago" and just couldn't get this song out of my head. So, this happened. Now it's your problem. #pope #djo #Chicago #music

Donald Trump hasn’t dismantled American democracy—he’s repurposed it. Behind the familiar rituals lies a long con: a government that looks like a republic but functions as a private network of loyalty, tribute, and control.

That’s why you’re still here.

The president of the United States should not be slinging juvenile, petty insults on a daily basis. Trump has no dignity and deserves no respect. Props to Bruce, Taylor, and Tino for speaking out! "Musicians have the right to freedom of expression, and we stand in solidarity with all our members.”

Anyone else find it strange that a man with a 14-year heroin addiction is railing against Narcan—the lifesaving drug that helped drive a sharp drop in overdose deaths after a federal distribution program? No one said Narcan cures addiction. It prevents funerals. That’s the point. The facts 👇🏾

Baier: If you look at our new Fox News poll at 100 days job approval compared to other presidents, there you see the president at 44% and you see his first term at 45% at this mark the 100 day mark

Unsurprisingly, Musk doesn't get it. The best thing he could do for Tesla would be to resign as CEO and divest. His involvement is the reason for the protests. We don't want more of him. While investors may feel relief that he'll "cut back" his time with DOGE, the damage is done. #TeslaTakedown

Repeated analysis of the atmosphere of the exoplanet K2-18b, discovered by Canadian astronomers, suggests the presence of life. This is not a claim that extraterrestrial life has been detected, but it's an exciting find nonetheless. #astronomy

This is utter & complete craziness, why would a federal agency use X for communication, this is nuts!

As a non-American, it is often very strange to hear what some Americans think is "left"

This makes me sick. So much blatant corruption. #takedowntwitter

How could any of us have known a recession was going to hit us by the middle of 2025? I wonder... did anybody see this coming? 🤔

Mitt Romney laid it out almost a decade ago. "If Donald Trump's proposed plans were ever implemented, the country would sink into prolonged recession. His 35% tariffs would instigate a trade war and raise prices for consumers." Full video: www.youtube.com/live/Jx7SkiB... #OrangeMonday

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

"Part of the DOGE, we talked about this from the beginning, is we're going to do 80% cuts, but 20% of those are going to have to be reinstated, because we'll make mistakes" So efficiency! Much wow! #HandsOff

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

A more innocent time, before the threat of penguins forced his hand

Way to go Wisconsin! Before the brutal defeat, Elongated Muskrat was accusing George Soros of trying to influence elections. But Muskrat was the one handing out $1M checks to voters and dumping $20M into trying to buy the election. He's gotten sloppy since last year. #WisconsinSupremeCourt

Elon Musk’s company avoided almost all federal income tax on nearly $11 billion of U.S. income over three years Tesla, the most valuable automaker in the world valued at over $1 trillion, did not pay any federal income tax last year.

They're uninformed but also purposefully disinformed. Remember, Fox "News" paid over $750M because they knowingly and repeatedly LIED to the public. Still, the ability of his supporters to be so willfully blind and ignorant to the obvious facts is astounding.
