Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdaySen. Rand Paul: "I've had the debate with this administration ... they told me this isn't a war. I said, why isn't it a war? They said, 'Well, a constitutional war has to have significant casualties' ... initiation or declaration of war is *before* the casualties."

Emily Wood@ebwood.bsky.social · 3d agoThe “Met”’s registrars would have been so annoyed that the director accepted a work on long-term loan instead of just hanging something else from the permanent collection. 😂 #HATM
Love the jazz backing that accompanies the intro of Rene Russo's character... in case you didn't pick up on the sexy smart that was happening on screen. 🤣 #HATM

This is a good list. Some songs I knew, others that I’m adding to my collection. I figured Springsteen’s Streets of Minneapolis would be at the top and so when I scrolled to #2 and there it was… I started to wonder, “what beats The Boss?” #1 was FDT by YG Yeah, makes sense. Respect 🫡

This Day in Labor History: July 29, 1987. Jobs with Justice was created in Miami at the AFL-CIO convention. It had inconsistent results, though still exists today, but at its best, JWJ can do amazing work creating necessary coalitions between labor and community groups. Let's talk about it!
