Well that was a bit special. Bob Dylan at 84 played almost 2 hours non stop. Absolutely phenomenal performance.
Goosebumps when he started playing the harmonica…there was a tangible gasp of collective joy from the audience.
Only wish he’d said hello 💜

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

We're primarying John Fetterman.
Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians.
We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

BTW, Democrats are looking to @larrysummers.bsky.social about advice on the party moving forward. He also supported Cuomo over Mamdani.
Maybe it's time for this entire class of people to retire permanently from social life. They have money. They'll be fine.

Billie Eilish asked an important question: "If you’re a billionaire, why are you a billionaire?"
There are FIVE ways to accumulate a billion dollars:
1) Profiting from a monopoly
2) Insider-trading
3) Political payoffs
4) Fraud
5) Inheritance
Billionaires are the result of a failed system.
