β€œIn my country we’re fighting like hell for the democracy we once took for granted… Art looks for truth, embraces diversity β€” that’s why we are a threat to autocrats and fascists.”

Make no mistake the immigration practices of the U.S.’s current regime are racist and most of the time have NO basis for detainment or deportation. Deportation only occurs because the regime is breaking the law and not following Due Process. I do not agree w/this regime at all.

I would hope that our soldiers would protest any order to attack a country unprovoked by refusing illegal orders.

To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

He also threatened to disown his oldest son if Don Jr enlisted in the military

Mark Warner: "That cabinet meeting earlier this week where everyone went around and basically paid kudos to the great leader -- it was something that frankly I would've expected out of North Korea, not out of a cabinet meeting in America."

Duke Ellington - New York Concert (1995)

Duke live at Columbia University 1964 in a trio with Peck Morrison & Sam Woodyard (tracks 1-6), solo (10-13) and with guest spots by Willie β€œThe Lion” Smith (7) and Billy Strayhorn (8-9).

Marvellous stuff!

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.
