Happy 60th to Revolver! The album features three Harrisongs — “Love You To,” “I Want To Tell You,” and the lead track, “Taxman.” The cover art is, of course, by Klaus Voormann. Read more at harrisonarchive.tumblr.com/post/8241244....

The Beatles album Revolver was released on August 5, 1966. The Grammy award winning cover art is by Klaus Voormann. This graphic is my attempt to honor the black and white look of the album with the numerals six and zero outlining the cover art.

El-Sayed: "My commitment to Jewish safety is the same commitment that I have to the safety of my own daughters. Because if there is one question of political philosophy that ought to animate us all, it's what would we do if we treated all our kids like they were all of our kids?"

This New York Times article, which ran a week before Christmas last year, didn’t get the attention it deserved. It detailed Trump and Epstein's predatory behavior toward women – “a game of ego and dominance” in which “female bodies were currency.” Here’s a gift link and a thread. 1/6🧵

‘Don’s Best Friend’: How Epstein and Trump Bonded Over the Pursuit of Women (Gift Article)

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

Abe Lincoln vs. the "heritage American" crowd, 1858: It doesn't matter where your ancestors were in 1776. Americans who read the Declaration and affirm its creed "have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote [it] ...and so they are."

We have besides these men—descended by blood from our ancestors—among us perhaps half our people who are not descendants at all of these men, they are men who have come from Europe—German, Irish, French and Scandinavian—men that have come from Europe themselves, or whose ancestors have come hither and settled here, finding themselves our equals in all things. If they look back through this history to trace their connection with those days by blood, they find they have none, they cannot carry themselves back into that glorious epoch and make themselves feel that they are part of us, but when they look through that old Declaration of Independence they find that those old men say that “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” and then they feel that that moral sentiment taught in that day evidences their relation to those men, that it is the father of all moral principle in them, and that they have a right to claim it as though they were blood of the blood, and flesh of the flesh of the men who wrote that Declaration, (loud and long continued applause) and so they are.

Normally, I would write about last night's shameful display of the legacy media fêting Donald Trump. But with only 101 days until the elections, they are a lost cause. If you want to stay informed about Trump's attacks and how we fight back, subscribe to Democracy Docket. demdock.com/4w6emld

Goddamn. One of the earliest examples of an everyday person standing up to this bullshit while powerful institutions cowered. They should name a school after him. RIP.

I have awful news. Youman Wilder, the Harlem baseball coach who courageously protected his kids from an ICE raid and said he was "willing to die" for them, very tragically, passed away this week Wilder's sister started a fundraiser set up to help with his burial: www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-y...
