R.I.P. Saw them once in Detroit opening for Peter Gabriel (Robert Fripp (as Dusty Roads) was just off stage playing with PG, too.) Could see him from where I was sitting.

Sounds familiar! This is what the police did to Chesa Boudin in San Francisco. Here's how it works: 1. Cops stop doing their jobs in protest. 2. Media creates a crime panic. 3. Political operatives push recall election. 4. Voters hounded to remove official they just elected—or else.
Joey Scott@joeyneverjoe.bsky.social · 4d agoLos Angeles Police Protective League official and LAPD officer Jamie McBride told NBC today: “If Nithya Raman becomes the mayor, the city needs to prepare for Armageddon. She won’t have to defund the police. Police officers will just leave the department.”
Black people in America have played the longest of “long games.” The resilience and persistence it takes to believe and to keep fighting no matter the obstacles.
Tonight, the American people sent a clear message — they want a politics that brings people together rather than divides them, and leaders who offer concrete solutions to the challenges they face.
I love seeing people quoting prediction markets as if they're polls.🤡 C'mon. These are dudes that lose money betting that Steph Curry won't hit a three-point shot in the first quarter. But suddenly if you put enough of them in a jar, you think that they collectively become an election predictor?

California, don't fall for the billionaires' dirty tricks. Vote YES on Prop 40 — and NO on Prop 41 and 42.
Two bills, backed by the plastics industry, “champion deceptive, anti-consumer policies which would result in an increase in plastic production … all while hiding behind the false brand of ‘recycling,’” one environmental expert said.
“Peak Greenwashing”: Two Bills in Congress Endorse Misleading Recycling Claims
On the surface, the legislation promises transparency for consumers by establishing national standards for recycling. But it would keep states from setting stricter requirements for companies.

Remember... Prop 40 is a ONE-TIME retroactive tax. It applies ONLY to billionaires and would tax just 5% of their wealth — which grew 30% in 2025. California's billionaires would still be worth $2T+ AFTER the tax. The revenue will fund healthcare for millions of Californians. Vote YES.
🔥 THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT! Know your rights & don’t let anybody intimidate you out of casting your ballot! If someone at the poll tells you that you can’t vote, don’t leave. Ask for a provisional ballot or an affidavit and call the voter protection hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE. Make them follow the law.
James Talarico’s message to Gen Z: “You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Your landlord cares about politics. Your insurance company cares about politics. And until you care about politics, they're gonna keep using the political system to screw you over.”
