Mike Yung who has been singing in the subway for 37 years, has just won an Oscar for his role in *The Singer*—simply amazing. (Was in semi-final of AGT!)

People keep blabbing that Congress is "so divided" but they're never divided when it comes to these three things:
1) Supporting Israel no matter what it does
2) Covering for Jeffrey Epstein and his network
3) Supporting Big Tech, including technofascists, and taking their donations

“Gerontocracy has always thrived in undemocratic places,” @imkahloon writes, “and over the past several decades, it has taken root in the United States. How did America come to be ruled by an oligarchy of old people?”

As climate change accelerates and heat-related illnesses rise, the Trump administration is putting workers’ lives at risk to pad corporate profits. Weakening OSHA enforcement is unacceptable. It’s time to deliver for working people.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.
It doesn't have to be this way.

People ask if I feel vindicated. It’s an evil question. I wanted justice, not approval. No one needed to vindicate me. I knew I was right: I wanted the world to make me wrong. Facts are facts, and cowards are cowards, and belated recognition of obvious crimes does not negate the harm done to victims. What the truth can do is shine a light to a better future. But officials behave as if the future is foreclosed. They rush toward evil in every form: genocide, eugenics, the replacement of humanity with artificial intelligence. They are part and parcel with the predators they were supposed to expose and condemn and prosecute. They always were.
Reminds me of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social, who's been writing books since 2018 about Epstein and what she calls the “transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government” and even receiving death threats while doing so. Folk often ask her if she feels vindicated, and I love her answer:

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives.
The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill.
Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

The Doom, c 1500 was rediscovered by workmen restoring the tympanum of St Michaela’s Church in 1892. In this section the Archangel Michael with his scales to weight the souls of the dead to see if they should be saved or condemned to Hell. The Devil is usually close by to cheat to ensure that the soul will go to Hell. Here the two souls in one pan are weighed against a pure soul in the other and he outweighs them …

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking. Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence. I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

One year ago, President Trump ripped union rights away from nearly a million federal workers—one of the most anti-worker actions ever taken by a president of the United States.
We’ll keep using every tool in our toolbox to overturn his union-busting executive order for good.
