Heartbreaking 💔 Children scream while masked ICE goons kidnap their families in broad daylight in Harrison, New Jersey.
Today, 8 years ago, my friend, Saudi Journalist and Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered.
So yeah Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, I made it
Agree. Bryan Stevenson said it best. It’s not about whether someone deserves to die. It’s about whether we as a society deserve to kill.
Looking forward to taking my grandson to see ENDGAME ENCORE next week!
I’d highly recommend that nobody download this app. At best, it’s unfiltered propaganda. At worst, it’s spyware.
If you managed to stomach the sky-high price of a ticket to a game today, you probably noticed the price-gouging didn’t stop at the stadium entrance. Concessions prices can be double or even triple what they cost just across the street. But there’s a way to crack down.
#ResidentEvilMovie a great way to start the holiday horror season! Favorite time of year-Halloween 🎃

This story is everything that is wrong w education. American schools present the most uninspired, boring material imaginable, then wonder why children don't read. They wear out & fire effective teachers Children learn to read by finding things they want to read. www.themoth.org/stories/no-i...

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

SHOUT-OUT to Political Cartoonist extraordinaire & Member of the Order of Canada Michael de Adder, who routinely does a far better job of holding this administration accountable than the corporate media. Thank you for your attention to his brilliant satirical wit! 🙏 (also: 🤣)

Trump Live Updates: Administration Proposes Giving Part of Yosemite Park to Developer (Gift Article)

🤬
James@tuocodem.bsky.social · last mo.Two analysts on Kasey Hunt’s @cnn.com show today said the community around Yosemite is very excited about Trump selling part of Yosemite to a Nevada land developer. This is just not true. Not even close to being true, but they said it on a panel show, so it’s true now.
The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷
The Pentagon fired the publisher and editor in chief of Stars and Stripes, the military newspaper that is supposed to maintain editorial independence from the very department it covers.
Nobody knows the art of filmmaking and comedy better than Mel Brooks. To have him select both “Ed Wood” and “Dolemite is my Name” as two of his favorite films of all time is an honor my brain can’t quite comprehend. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Donald Trump’s decision to flood our grocery stores with foreign-raised beef is another hit to Illinois farmers — it will kill jobs and destroy rural communities here. He needs to reverse course immediately. For those who stand with him, it’s time to rein him in and fix this.
U.S. to Boost Beef Imports to Address High Prices, Trump Says
