I can’t overstate how dangerous this is.

‘White House reviewing Smithsonian exhibits to make sure they align with Trump’s vision’

Translation: Donald Trump and his administration are continuing their assault on Black history, and on any history that doesn’t center and glorify the white man…

Happy 43rd b’day to “Combat Rock” — the iconic LP by @theclash.com that featured “Rock the Casbah”.

When writing, Joe Strummer said, “I started to think about what someone had told me .. that you get lashed for owning a disco album in Iran."

(Hence the line, “Shareef don’t like it.”)

Millions Stood Up: April 5 Hands Off Day of Action I was the closing speaker at the ebullient San Francisco Hands Off rally, and when I got home later I scoured the news for  reports on the more than one thousand other rallies. Of course people would ...

Tweet by Ian Bremmer (@ianbrem ...) posted on March 7. The post highlights Mexico President Sheinbaum's 85% approval rating, calling her the strongest leader of a major democracy. It also mentions a significant turnout in Mexico City today, accompanied by an image of a massive crowd gathered in the Zócalo, Mexico City's main square. The image shows a large gathering of people with umbrellas and flags, including the Mexican flag prominently displayed, with the Metropolitan Cathedral and other historic buildings in the background under a clear blue sky.

Looks like they’ve got her back.

Not my most eloquent letter, but utterly sincere....

A reminder for these times.

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Dear Canada,

A whole lot of us are horrified and doing our best as opposition....
