All week the pro-Israel and pro-Trump supporters screamed at us, in unison: why aren’t you celebrating the ceasefire??
Because we knew it wouldn’t last. But even I didn’t think it’d be over in less than a week. What a complete & utter humiliation for Trump, thanks to Netanyahu.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

Last night while surfing YouTube and watching Beenie Man’s Tiny Desk Concert (NPR), my partner was like ‘You don’t know Beenie Man? Ha ha ha ha ha! You don’t know Beenie Man!!!'
... there’s a lot of music that I don’t know, which is what this and I hope future posts will be about.
