Blaze Foley - Clay Pigeons, rare Live YouTube video by Dave HJ

Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest American songwriter that no one remembers, Blaze Foley.

Give him two minutes and he might change your life.

Gov. Pritzker: "There is no emergency that warrants the President of the U.S. federalizing the Illinois National Guard."

"Trump is attempting to manufacture a crisis, politicize Americans who serve in uniform, and continue abusing his power to distract from the pain he is causing working families."

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

I am very scared about the next few years but I actually have a lot of hope for America. Not confidence, not optimism, not expectation. But I have a lot of hope. We have an opportunity here to offer something new to the world by overcoming the struggles that are threatening to sink our ship rn.

🐞

Just a reminder that America will in fact crush fascism.

It will take a while and it will be messy.
But bet on it.

Smoke and mirrors in Cuba They are all lying but they got the pictures and that's what matters

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.

a while back a very intelligent campaign manager I know told me… Stacy, political signs in yards don’t vote. Protest signs don’t make a difference or stop a regime. He said these are “feel good tools” what makes a difference y’all? …us…

Congressman Al Green of Texas removed from Trump's speech amid protest Speaker Mike Johnson repeatedly urged Rep. Al Green to take his seat before directing the sergeant at arms to "restore order" and "remove this gentleman from the chamber."

Whatever the punishment is," Green said. "I'm not fighting the punishment. This is about the people who are being punished by virtue of losing their health care. This is the richest country in the world, and we have people who don't have good health care.

Tell your family, friends, and co-workers to join the call this Sunday, as we build the resistance and solidarity that will defeat Musk and Trump.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

We must all stand together, I support @aoc.bsky.social ✊🏽

NIH to cut billions from overheads in biomedical research President Trump's administration has announced it will slash billions of dollars in overheads for grants in biomedical research as a part of broader cost-saving measures.

Smashing the Shoreline at Sunrise on Saturday. This morning in Chicago. Welcome to February!

This is your mission. We take our power back now at the local and state level. Stop waiting for a national hero. It’s you. Get to work.

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

15 years of Citizens United have shown us that money corrupts politics. We are going to have to take back our democracy from the forces of greed! #StopTheOligarchy

Listen up.
