I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Democrats must ban ICE and border patrol agents from polling stations. I contacted my representatives asking for an amendment to the DHS funding bill that includes this requirement.

Broken Truth - Tim Grimm YouTube video by Tim Grimm

If you listen to Jesse Welles and Bruce Springsteen, you'll want to hear this. Or, better, if you are on Facebook, watch the video posted there of songwriter Tim Grimm performing this in a Texas club. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7XY...

In the midst of ICE horror, the Senate needs to prohibit Trump from using ICE as a voter suppression tool. Senate Dems need to put into the approps bill a prohibition on ICE agents being near polling places. This is a must have.
Last chance to do this.

This needs to happen at the very least

Imagine this in a trial.

Devastating first-hand witness to Alex Pretti's killing

Declaration filed in federal court:

"I don't know why they shot him. He was only helping. I was five feet from him and they just shot him."

ICE is back today and this happens.

What's happening in our country and our state with ICE is horrific, unjust, and it needs to stop — now.

I support a bill to prohibit law enforcement from wearing masks and to require identifying information. Let’s get that to my desk immediately so I can sign it into law.

I agree that we should frame reading as a pleasure and that reading is not necessarily a virtue. But why do we persist in allowing the framing that learning and expanding your thinking or even defending democracy can’t also be pleasurable and joyful?

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Bridget the cat infiltrates the 'Abbey Road' cover shoot and becomes THE definitive fifth Beatle.

THREAD.

My parents' cat Bridget vanished. As the weeks dragged on they became ever more worried, so to distract himself my dad began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up at some of art & music's most important moments.

I've collected his work here...

This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.

They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Bears repeating that one of Russia’s first major social media influence campaigns in the US promoted antivax views. Why? For it’s a way to do clear material harm to the country.

What load of crap JD is spreading. Investment companies bought up millions of housing units after the 2008 junk mortgage crash & rent them for usurious rents.
Someone should wash his mouth out with soap for lying so much.
