Trump Administration Erases the Government’s Power to Fight Climate Change

You can support Trump.

Or you can support humanity.

But you can’t do both.

Opinion | Donald Trump, Pagan King

“Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada recently described the world that President Trump is dragging us into with this aphorism: ‘The strong do what they can, & the weak suffer what they must.’”

A MUST-READ! --> www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/o...

Opinion | Hey Republicans: Trump Is the President

“Pretti & Good aren’t dead because of bad advice. They’re dead because of bad men acting out the script that a bad president wrote for them.”

Opinion | Trump Has Overwhelmed Himself

“Trump appears to be trying to course correct, but he has neither the discipline nor the personnel to truly change…This administration is a reflection of who the president is & what he wants. This White House is not beset by crises. This White House is the crisis.”

Springsteen Releases ‘Streets of Minneapolis,’ a Song Protesting ICE

Less than one day old, & already a stone-cold classic.

#Springsteen has an eerie ability to write songs that are instantly familiar, even before they’re over.

He’s done it again with the most timely song needed.

EVERYONE needs to hear “Streets Of Minneapolis.”

Opinion | Minneapolis May Be Trump’s Gettysburg

“ICE and C.B.P. still roam the streets…But surveying the wreckage of Operation Metro Surge—of this reactionary administration’s crushing defeat at the hands of another band of tenacious Northerners—it does look to me like MAGA’s Gettysburg.”

Garth Hudson, One-Man Band Within the Band, Dies at 87 A multifaceted musician, he was the last surviving original member of an influential group that mixed rock, r&b and an Americana sound.

#RIP Garth Hudson, the last living original member of The Band, & a dazzling multi-instrument master in his own right.

Endlessly innovative, he played the clavinet through a wah-wah pedal on #UpOnCrippleCreek & the dense swirling organ on #ChestFever, his signature.

Turns out the three branches of government are Legislative, Judicial, & Elon Musk’s ego.

“A Conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward. A Reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A Liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at the behest-at the command—of his head.” FDR 1939 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ra...

Truman’s words are still 100%, but they’re outdated.

An even bigger difference is that now Republicans will repeatedly lie, cheat, & gaslight just to hold onto power.

& now they will be using that power to punish anyone who disagrees with them.

Did we Nazi this coming?

58 Jazz Musicians Were Photographed for ‘Harlem 1958.' Only One Remains. Art Kane’s “Harlem 1958” gathered giants of the music. Sonny Rollins, 94, looks back at the historic picture.

Take a deep dive into #Harlem1958 (AKA #AGreatDayInHarlem) & check out #Jazz music’s most famous photograph.

& let’s hear it for #SonnyRollins.

Now, let’s track down those kids, as @ScottSandage.bsky.social suggested to me.

It’s a great idea, @NYTimes.com.

Today in 1967, a legendary icon of American music tragically died in a plane crash at the age of 26:

The Great #OtisRedding.

YouTube video by TheWhoVEVO The Who, Michael Lindsay-Hogg - A Quick One (While He's Away)

Today in 1966, #TheWho release their #AQuickOne LP.

The title track is the final song, an expansive mini-opera format that inspired the way to #Tommy & #Quadrophenia.

Their definitive performance of #AQuickOneWhileHesAway was the crown jewel of #TheRollingStones’ #RockAndRollCircus.

So much for protecting the police.

Today in 1949, #TomWaits was born.

Kinda makes you wanna fall out of the window with confetti in your hair.

#RockHistory

Today in 1969, #MeredithHunter was stabbed to death by a member of Hell’s Angels at The #RollingStones’ free concert on the #Altamont speedway.

Hunter was 18 & the Angels were working security & paid in beer.

The event effectively ended the psychedelic dream of the ’60s.

#RockHistory

Today in 1932, #LittleRichard was born.

Among his many hits are #TuttiFrutti, #LongTallSally, #GoodGollyMissMolly, & #KeepAKnockin’.

Rock as we know it would not exist without him.

“I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!”

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.

The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.

Vivek is literally an unelected federal bureaucrat.
