America’s Most Powerful CEOs Are Awfully Quiet Lately Trump has exposed an ugly truth about corporations: They’re no longer even pretending to be good citizens.

I wrote about the cowardly lions of corporate America under Trump and their decades-long push to shape the country’s political life and democracy, no matter their protestations to the contrary now. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Going to see Iron and Wine at a winery tonight.

At least it’s pączki season.

Billy Bragg Releases New Song "City of Heroes" Supporting Minneapolis Protesters Billy Bragg has shared a new song, "City of Heroes," written, recorded, and released within 24 hours as a tribute to those protesting ICE in Minneapolis.

I’ll always be grateful to the very scary skinhead who basically bullied me into listening to Billy Bragg when I was 15. consequence.net/2026/01/bill...
