There Is Limited Money in Our Big, Beautiful Budget, So We Need to Spend as Much of It as Possible to Keep Ruining Immigrants’ Lives “The $170 billion price tag for immigration enforcement eclipses other law enforcement expenditures at the federal, state, and local level…. The la...

"As long as we burn through the budget, kicking new immigrants out in the most painful and brutal way possible, we can ensure a declining population and a stagnant economy for the foreseeable future."

I went from watching an LCD Soundsystem show to that Talking Heads show (I may have a problem). Both bands have such great rhythm sections. I have trouble turning them off once I start watching/listening to

This is indeed a great thing. Thanks for sharing

The biggest scandal in US public life *ought* to be that we are the richest country in history & yet our infrastructure sucks, our transportation choices suck, our cities suck, our healthcare sucks, our public administration sucks, & in dozens of little ways, our daily lives suck.

I Vow to Fight Autocracy with Unprecedented Levels of Finger Wagging “Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader in the Senate, has reportedly been criticized by some of the party’s state governors for not resisting Donald...

"Our party must act swiftly. There’s no time for hesitation. Or delay. Or dawdling. Or dragging our feet. Or indecision. Or dilly-dallying. Or stalling. Or hemming and hawing. Or equivocation. Or grandstanding. Or mincing words. Or slow-walking. Or procrastinating."

An Oral History of the Kidz Bop Cover of John Cage’s 4′33″ Part One: The Kidz Dana Wilkinson, Kidz Bop Producer: People don’t remember this, but there was a draft in the early 2000s. We’d show up at some th...

"Cage wanted you to listen to the sounds you usually ignore. Like people breathing and birds chirping. I wasn’t all that excited about it, but they told us if we didn’t do what they said, they’d sell us to Randy Quaid, and he’d hunt us for sport."

The looters I want to talk about are the ones who stole our safe and stable climate from us. Millennia of planetary harm for individuals' profit. They set the fires.

Happy fresh Hobonichi planner day to those who celebrate

If you're wondering, "Did I do enough today?" You did.

If you're wondering, "Did I do enough this year?" You did.

You're here. You're at the finish of the year, the day, the hour. The bad news is that as you are still breathing, you have to do it all again. But that's the good news, too.

hey not to be all corny but please understand and internalize that your creative work is vital and beautiful whether others see/hear it or not and that your creative expression enriches the world just by your having done it

Utah outlaws books by Judy Blume and Sarah J Maas in first statewide ban State has ordered 13 books by seven authors, six of them women, to be removed from every public school classroom and library
