Today in history, 1939: Billie Holiday first records “Strange Fruit” for the independent label Commodore Records. The song, which protests the lynching of Black Americans, became her biggest-selling record and a definitive anthem of the Civil Rights Movement. /1

The 25th Amendment has never been needed more!
If Republicans had a spine, we could end this madness now!

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
A reminder:
1/ Let's say it plainly: Trump has made the United States weaker, and he has pushed our allies into each other's arms. Christopher Steele may have missed on raw data, but on this he was obviously right. The mission was to break NATO. It is working. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
3/ Madrid and Beijing just pledged closer ties. Xi called the international order crumbling. Allies are not waiting. They are rewriting the map. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Netanyahu took to American television to announce he had “nothing to do with” Charlie Kirk’s assassination after Charlie Kirk had rejected $150 million and said Israel was going to kill him.
Now Netanyahu is threatening Tucker Carlson and his family.
Yes, very important! School vouchers passed in Texas for the 2026-2027 school year. So far, 10 public schools are closing in Austin, 12 in Houston, and Pflugerville ISD is considering closing up to six campuses. It's heartbreaking to watch this happen to our kiddos in any state. 💔
Think of the taxes that aren’t being paid by these robber barons. Think how much better our society would be if the wealthy paid their taxes.
People across the political spectrum are feeling outrage that while families in Georgia are made to pay more and more for everything, the First Family is pocketing vast sums of money from all over the world.
Trump and his sons have enriched themselves by over 4 Billion dollars since he came into office
This is by FAR the most corrupt administration ever

On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him.
Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines.
Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"
WATCH: Military Veterans Arrested During Anti-Iran War Protest in Cannon House Office Building rotunda in D.C.―About 120 U.S. military veterans from the group ‘About Face’ staged a powerful protest against the war. Dozens of U.S. military veterans were arrested today. youtu.be/s3VhVN9IdoI?... #PINKS
Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.
10+ survivors. 20+ years. Zero accountability.
Authorities never fully investigated Epstein’s Zorro Ranch.
Rachel Benavidez is still waiting and still speaking out for justice for survivors!
It’s not too late.!

Greed. Greed. Greed.
Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
All wars are based on lies.
If you're in Virginia, then take a minute tomorrow to VOTE YES on the election to ensure that only the voters decide who runs the House of Representatives in November.
President Obama even endorsed the effort by Virginia Democrats.
And Virginia has same-day voter registration.

After DJT 2.0 win - I thought independent media had learned a lesson but 24/7 I'm again seeing Trump click bait headlines, as if he's acting alone.
"By retweeting his content and clips and passing it off as ‘resistance’, influencers unintentionally allow Donald Trump to control the narrative."
ART2Section4 “The President,Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States,shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for,and Conviction of,Treason,Bribery,or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”Let's get the whole gang! If not us, Who? If not now, WHEN?
Can Iran just release all the Epstein Files now?
NOPE!!!!

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
