“The song sunk into culture, like a moisturizer sinks into skin. It no longer belongs to its creators. Within weeks it belonged to, well, Christmas.” Loved this quote in @20thcenturymarc.marcburrows.co.uk book “The Story of the Christmas No.1: Mistletoe & Vinyl”. I feel a similar way about this book

Arcane trivia that may be of interest to 11 or 12 of you: Andrew Johnson, founder of seminal 70s Doctor Who fanzine TARDIS, was the brother of The The's Matt Johnson (and, as Andy Dog Johnson, provided all the band's cover artwork). Feel free to tell your kids / share on village Facebook groups.

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

Trump sent thousands of armed federal officers into our state, and it took just one day for them to kill someone.
Now he wants nothing more than to see chaos distract from that horrific action.
Don’t give him what he wants.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

There is video of the shooting of a woman by ICE in Minneapolis circulating that shows an ICE agent repeatedly shooting her at point blank range while she tries to drive off. There was no obvious threat to any ICE agent.

FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.
