What was as striking (pardon the pun) as the strike itself was how enthusiastic and chill all the inconvenienced people seemed to be. I got where I needed to go about five hours later than scheduled. Everyone I spoke to along the way said the delays were worth it.

Remembering Hopeton Lewis who was born on this day in 1947.

At the Federal studio in 1966, Hopeton Lewis with Lyn Taitt & The Jets pretty much invented rocksteady with tunes like this, which stars Leslie Butler on piano...

Trump Calls Cartel Members โ€œTerrorists.โ€ Theyโ€™re Armed With Bullets From a U.S. Army Factory. The president blames Mexico for the flow of drugs into the U.S. โ€” while enabling the flow of guns into Mexico by slashing federal regulators.

If the U.S. military does confront drug cartels in Mexico, it will find itself facing battle with its own weapons.

Scientists announce that 7 of 9 key 'planetary boundaries' have been crossed A team of global scientists issued a new report on Wednesday, noting that seven out of nine of key "planetary boundaries" have been crossed. Carbon dioxide emissions have increased ocean acidification...

New research shows that ocean acidification has now crossed the planetary boundary. That's 7 of 9 boundaries crossed. Capitalism is driving ecological catastrophe and will continue to do so until we align production to a new law of value.

Tony Blair in discussions to run transitional Gaza authority The former prime minister has been in high-level planning talks over the territory's future, the BBC understands.

Classic Blair. He is now proposing himself as the Empire's Regent of Gaza. A war criminal himself, he demands a five year appointment to run the site of Israel's genocide on behalf of Donald Trump in the finest tradition of White Settler Colonial projects www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

โ€œIf the leaders of this country and their advisors are unable to recognise what is happening daily in Gaza and the West Bank as genocidal, they relinquish the right to be taken seriously.โ€
