Now for something completely different. This fine quartet spent almost 50 years every holiday season bringing to audiences songs of winter. Sadly, John Roberts and Tony Barrand are no longer with us, but Fred Bruenig and Andy Davis soldier on.

Many brilliant observations from @djrothkopf.bsky.social along with “I bring the receipts” @wajali.bsky.social for me, this conversation validates everything I have believed since 1992. open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...
Yup, Jeffrey Epstein was Right About Donald Trump
Epstein, one of the worst human beings, said Trump didn't possess "one decent cell in his body." His behavior this week proves that Trump only cares about himself, his safety, & his vulgar appetites.

Thanks, @wajali.bsky.social As a professional musician I took all of my music off streaming platforms except Bandcamp. At least they pay us decently and are pro musician. Spotify has always been evil but now even more so.

They are running ICE ads.
They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.
Spread the word.

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court.
It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate.
Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law.
Eyes wide open, folks.

More wise words from @djrothkopf.bsky.social of the #DSRNetwork
RFK, Jr. is definitely in the running for the most dangerous, least honest, least competent cabinet secretaries in U.S. history. In fact, he may be among the most dangerous, least honest, least competent people ever to hold any job ever. Ever. He is the worst possible pick for this job. The worst.

Let’s see. Who should I trust? My own doctor, 1,000’s of scientists, & researchers. Or someone who thought using heroin for 12 years was one of the best things he could have done, swam in a sewage polluted creek with his grandkids, had a brain worm, has no actual medical training. Tough call.
Trump/RFK are decapitating our public health system, a pillar of American greatness. So Dem Govs should scour every corner of the law for creative new ways to defend their people from this madness.
Dems should polarize this debate to the max.

How many people of color and women does Trump have to fire or otherwise target before the racism and systematic discrimination within his administration is condemned by anyone of power in Washington? In either party? He's so despicable. Yet it seems business as usual in the mainstream media.

The real lesson to be learned from Trump/GOP's corrupt Texas gerrymander is that Dems have to get a lot more willing to use power when they have it. Next Dem trifecta will be a time of reckoning.
