Remembering today when pro-GOP media erupted with outrage over Kamala Harris' warning that Trump had plans to militarize the national guard and deploy them on the streets of US cities. Indeed, he had such plans. And now he's implementing them.

Came across an old mix tape (CD) I made in 1996...
These were new releases I picked from a subscription I had called CMJ (College Music Journal).
They would ship a CD and small magazine with it each month.
YT had most of the songs but not ALL. Starts with Fiona Apple:

The Supreme Court just greenlit Donald Trump gutting nearly $800 MILLION for medical treatments and cures.
Congress approved this funding for a reason: it saves lives.
This is disgraceful, and families will suffer.

Don’t forget that we are in this redistricting battle because the ideological Supreme Court held (5-4) that partisan gerrymandering cases couldn’t be heard in federal courts
Remember: This was a SC that that was configured that way after Republicans stole a SC seat. No stolen seat=different result.
