I really am going to be very consistent here in that Bannon and the fascist movement have been talking about their goals being to eventually use musk as a villain to create the appearance that they are pro social and anti capital. If they go through with this we are going to be in deep trouble. 1/

Putin would prefer this too

🎫 1 rear standing GA for Wednesday night: Anfield. With this late timing, anyone who can get there and wants to be in the Liverpool stadium can email me about it. Week nights + solo tickets = hardest to place 🤍⌛️

Since becoming a widow, I've discovered adaptation has a cruel side effect: new memories overwrite old ones. It's like a memory buffer problem. Moving forward requires forgetting the shared life I'm trying to retain. My second post about widowhood: www.dataandpolitics.net/widowhood-as...

I've been wanting to tell my widowhood story publicly for years, but I know I don't have the kind of grief story people want to hear. No community rallied, no family healed, no strength discovered. I wrote about the gap between grief narratives and reality. www.dataandpolitics.net/why-i-find-i...

Study Finds Growing Gap Between America's Rich and Super-Rich

True Springsteen fans know his values and his politics. But when he named this "The Land Of Hope And Dreams" tour, we should have been prepared for the angry, soulful preaching he did in Manchester: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

"I have hope because I believe in the truth of what the great American writer James Baldwin said. He said, In this world, there isn't as much humanity as one would like. But there's enough." -Bruce Springsteen www.blogness-brucespringsteen.net/post/transcr...

Springsteen has entered the motherf*cking chat.

Bruce Springsteen is a great spokesperson for America. He embodies the best of us.

Had Springsteen not said a word tonight in Manchester his message would have still been crystal clear. However, he said plenty and I’m sure we will hear from Trump about it.

Bruce Springsteen Calls Donald Trump ‘Incompetent, and Treasonous’ at 2025 Tour Kickoff

Bruce Springsteen and the Mighty E Street Band are not having it with Donald Trump. Called him "corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous" and asked audience to "raise your voice against this authoritarianism and let freedom ring" in Manchester tonight. x.com/TonyDortie/s...

“We must rise up against authoritarianism!” Bruce #Springsteen not mincing his words as he kicks off his Land of Hope & Dreams Tour in #Manchester.

Bruce Springsteen here in my hometown calls on Manchester & the world to rise up against the authoritarianism of Donald Trump… 🎸

Published my first members-only post: Walking San Francisco 1: Kite Hill to Ord Street San Francisco isn't built for straight lines. The hills interrupt them. So do the staircases that thread between backyards, sewer easements, and unmaintained rights-of-way www.dataandpolitics.net/walking-san-...

This is River. She’s a ~nine year-old beagle who was found as a stray (!), she’s up for adoption at the pet shop on my corner, I’ve been walking her for about four weeks, and no one has submitted an application for her yet! 😢 She’d be great for the suburbs or the country!

I'm glad someone finally wrote this article! www.wired.com/story/chatgp... If you're concerned about the government having all your data, you really must pay attention to these types of things. Thanks @kateoflaherty.bsky.social @wired.com

TRUMP'S PRIME GOAL with all his incompetent tariffs is simply to shift all tax-burden on to lower-income workers; thus to shut the IRS, and therefore himself NOT have to pay taxes on his billion$ of illegal profits which he's already grifting via crypto scams, "pay for play" selling influence, etc.

I'm so tired of blue/purple state governors flirting with this sexual assaulter sociopath-in-chief. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
