My Open Letter to Elon Musk From Marc | Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” This is my response.

Thank you, President Musk, for your brilliant plan to make our skies safer. Reacting to multiple air crashes in the first weeks of your reign, you fire air traffic controllers, thus making the public petrified to fly, thereby reducing the number of flights. Genius!

I’m a little surprised nobody has noted that the acronym for President Musk’s gang of thieves is the word used to describe the lifelong lord of Italian city-states in the renaissance. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doge_(t...

The super-majority party in Missouri claims to be super-concerned with crime. So where does our AG spend our tax dollars? A lawsuit accusing Starbucks of hiring too many brown people. Oh, and the other suit he brought against China for causing Covid is still draining state resources.

I think the translation goes something like, "L'état, c'est moi," if I recall correctly.

Happy to see you. Are you going to lead the resistance? Do you have someone else in mind? The majority of Americans who despise President Musk and DJT are longing for leadership.

It should be obvious, but if President Musk and his sidekick Donnie can ignore court orders, democracy is screwed.

'No thanks': White South Africans turn down Trump's immigration offer U.S. President Donald Trump's offer to rehouse white South Africans as refugees fleeing persecution may not spur quite the rush he anticipates, as even right-wing white lobby groups want to "tackle the injustices" of Black majority rule on home soil.

In case you had any doubt about the racist roots of Trump's anti-immigrant tirades, here's proof from the fascist himself. He offered asylum to "persecuted" WHITE South Africans. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

Semkov was a champion of his countryman’s music. We did a concert performance of “King Roger” here in St. Louis around 1980. I loved the maestro’s intensity in rehearsal and performance.

From the third of the Neapolitan Novels, by Elena Ferrante, something uncomfortably current: "People died of carelessness, of corruption, of abuse, and yet, in every round of voting, gave their approval to the politicians who made their life unbearable."

Ironic, isn't it, that the most dangerous and destructive immigrant is Trump's boyfriend, Musk.

Someone tell me when we'll know America is Great Again.

Why RFK Jr. Might Bite the Dust Bill Cassidy, Caroline Kennedy and how his lies could catch up with him

Trump's top skill: Reacting to a crisis by casting blame and doing so without evidence. Pointing fingers is so much easier, and so much more politically rewarding, than actually solving problems.

The gut says "yes," but I'd like to know how it's done. Sometimes a cigar is just a smoke. (But we're probably right.)

And Caroline's weird cousin is introduced by a senator named "Crapo"? How appropriate. You can't make this stuff up.

Caroline's letter about Uncle Weirdo: "Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry":
“His basement, his garage, his dorm room were centers ...where drugs were available...he show[ed] off how he put baby chickens and mice in the blender to feed his hawks....a perverse scene of despair and violence.”

Germans have ‘too much focus on guilt,’ Elon Musk says. Yad Vashem chairman responds Elon Musk praised the right-wing Alternative for Germany party and suggested there’s “too much focus on past guilt” of Germans, during an address he gave on Saturday using a remote video stream at an ...

Many conservative Jews supported Trump because of his alleged support of Israel. But here's what his BFF Elon Musk thinks about the German willingness to accept responsibility for its persecution of the Jews: stljewishlight.org/world-news/g...

I grew up listening to Cleveland under Szell (and Mom sang in the Shaw-led chorus),so that set is my sentimental choice, but I love some of the brisker modern recordings as well.

Fight fascism.

Silly. They are separate works of art. Some are better, some are worse, all are different.

Just a tad late, dontcha think? Remember impeachment???

Far-right pundit rails against women in law enforcement: ‘It’s an absurdity!’ ‘If we’re being honest, female cops are absurd. It’s an absurdity. I’m sorry. It’s just ridiculous. It’s cartoonish,’ Matt Walsh ranted on his podcast this week

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education.

Reports of Navajo people being detained in immigration sweeps sparks concern from tribal leaders As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) intensifies its efforts to apprehend and deport undocumented immigrants throughout the country, concern is rising among Indigenous communities residin...

“Despite possessing Certificates of Indian Blood (CIBs) and state-issued IDs, several individuals have been detained or questioned by ICE agents who do not recognize these documents as valid proof of citizenship,”

ICE raids on schools, churches, hospitals? If you don't see this as the leading edge of fascism, then I don't know what more you need. Shades of the Third Reich.
