β€œThe president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

History is like science and free speech. It doesn't exist for you to agree or disagree with it, it exists for you to listen to it.

A two-part image. The top half shows a close-up of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment, which begins with the words "1st Amendment" and includes the phrase "We the People." The bottom half is a solid orange background with a quote from the First Amendment in large, white text: β€œCongress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” In the bottom are circular seals for the Attorney General of Washington.

They’re going to fire a US attorney because they couldn’t find evidence for a crime that was manufactured by the administration?

This will be called "evidence of consciousness of guilt" in subsequent criminal trials.

When an authoritarian, thin-skinned president forbids me to criticize him, some hear that as a threat, but I hear it as a challenge.

There's no excuse for the Vice President of the United States to use a heinous killing as an occasion to baselessly frame political opponents as accomplices to murder while threatening to use the power of the government to attack them.

This dangerous rhetoric will only fan the flames.

Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

It appears that Jimi is plugged into the Ampeg Porta-Flex, perhaps sharing with the bassist. I don’t see a guitar amp in the photo.

Here's a black and white photo of a young Joe Pesci playing a Gibson ES-345 guitar. This may have been taken when he was in Joey Dee and the Starliters.

This was taken at the Peppermint Lounge. Jimi and the Ronettes were members of Joey Dee and the Starliters ("Peppermint Twist") at the time. Other famous members of that band at various points were the Young Rascals and Joe Pesci. Yes, *that* Joe Pesci.

Bass: We just heard that the administration’s experiment failed. The raids that were happening in Los Angelesβ€”the random pulling and snatching of people off the streets based on the language they spoke, their appearance, where they workβ€”the court has said that can no longer happen.
