Shit. MTV, itself trying their DAMNEST not to play any Black artists, was saved by Michael Jackson and Hip Hop.
Yo MTV Raps was their highest rated programming.
Not 120 Minutes.
Not Alt Nation.
Not Headbangers Ball.
And it wasn't even close.

Today, James' social media feed would be a haters paradise.

BREAKING: Multiple Epstein victims tell NBC News that Pam Bondi intentionally un-redacted their names and other victims' names as a way to threaten them into silence!
โI think we all realize now that [the DOJ] really wanted to silence us, and thought that could scare us by putting our names out.โ

Seriously.
Let's not even overlook how Hip-Hop has, thru sampling, has engineered R&R's longevity and revived at least one band from dissolution and kept it from falling into obscurity in Aerosmith.
Rock & Roll owes Hip-Hop a LOT.

ICE's decision to just leave cars abandoned in the roads is one of those dystopian things that makes you recoil in shock when you encounter it.

Abbott egged on the Jade Helm conspiracists, who claimed that a military training operation was actually Obama invading the state of Texas.
Now a U.S. president is deploying Texas troops to other states to dominate and intimidate those states, and Abbott is complicit.

The Free Speech Crisis for Black Americans Is Worse Than You Think
Donโt let Jimmy Kimmelโs return fool you: Black academics are more frightened of talking to the press than Iโve ever seen.
Since Charlie Kirkโs assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired

Just thinking about how the right made up an entirely fictional left wing character that resulted in so many bomb threats and the like and nobody will face consequences. But people on the left who accurately clocked the victimโs life work lost jobs.

Far-right movements in both the US and UK wrap themselves in flags and talk of โunity,โ but itโs really about exclusion and control. โUnite the Kingdomโ in London mirrors MAGA hereโauthoritarian cosplay sold as patriotism, aimed at erasing diversity.

This is Musk addressing the rally in London via video link. "Violence is coming to you. You either fight back or die".
Enough. That's incitement. He's calling for the government to be overthrown. Stopping posting in X? It needs to be banned in the UK. He's a threat to our national security.

Fox has been doing it to serve evil, for years.
Their viewers are stone headed & hearted idiots. So it gets the job done, but they don't have to try hard at all.
We have the burden of trying to wisen those, who think they're smarter than everyone else BECAUSE they've checked out.

So how do we get the rabble to accept an actual (capital N) news source, when they either:
A. Watch/Read garbage
B. Can't tell which is which.
C. Won't because they've checked out long ago
My solution?
Follow The Daily Show model: Educate/Entertain.
But don't get corny.

Let's say the MidTerms go well, and we begin to get through this shit.
What's to be done with capitulated corporate media?
Y'all don't really think we can continue on with CNN(yeah,right), ABC, CBS(HA!), NBC(๐๐), NYT & WashPo(๐คฎ)?

Warren should have pointed out that her state, Massachusetts, raised taxes on millionaires not by 2% like Mamdani wants, but by 4%. The result? Massachusetts saw a 39% INCREASE in millionaires, a drop in poverty, & a growing economy.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start taxing them outta existence.
