No Cult Favorite: BREAKING AWAY Is a Masterpiece
I trust Breaking Away completely. Simply and without strain, it remains one of the greatest and most truthful American films ever made.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

We have been told for nearly 30 years that America needed to tolerate mass shootings because the broad availability of guns would help us defend ourselves from an overreaching federal government. That day has come. The people who said this are supporting the federal agents. Many have joined them.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

without meaning the slightest bit of disrespect to the No Kings protests, the sentiment on the ground here is less No Kings 2025 and more Leipzig 1989

Hear me out on this: It may be a radical opinion, but I think the maximum value for the federal real estate footprint lies in using it to do good things for people, not liquidating it for cash.

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

Should never have been built in that corridor, and geologists and engineers knew it when it was planned. I say bring the Norwegians in, construct a very long tunnel, and be done with it. This is a nice breakdown of the history: avlwatchdog.org/opinion-loca...

NYT : Trump vetoed bill that would provide safe drinking water to conservative GOP areas.

“I can’t believe he would do it to us,” said Shirley Adams, the Republican mayor of the tiny farming town of Manzanola, whose groundwater is tainted by naturally occurring uranium.

Why not? It's the GOP way.
