It's #BastilleDay, and as such, I am obligated to post a live rendition of "Bastille Day" from the incomparable #Rush and think about the song's continued relevance, especially in today's world

Always an important July 4th read, but especially this year. I have always loved the late James Earl Jones’ reading of this speech:

It’s not just that Zohran Mamdani beat Andrew Cuomo.
It’s that he and the voters beat an entire transnational criminal syndicate of power brokers who have had a stranglehold on NYC politics for a very long time.
And they’ll be coming after him hard. He’ll need a lot of support—and protection.

A Muslim son of immigrants might become mayor of NYC in part because he cross endorsed and supported a Jewish candidate and Black candidate, and vice versa.
It's a beautiful American story for the rest of us. A nightmare for all the right people ;)
It's so New York.

Tonight Senator Booker plans to conduct an overnight filibuster in response to the Trump Administration. He is using his time on the Senate floor to share the stories of Americans across the country who have already been harmed by the Trump administration’s actions. 1/

Chucking in on Senator Cory Booker on the Senate floor 5 hours+ into his filibuster.

Nailing it!

Trump said he was not joking about the possibility of seeking a third term, claiming a lot of people wanted him to pursue it. While he emphasized he was focused on the current, he hinted at the existence of methods to make it happen.

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.
With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

Daya was told dragons were violent, and Caliban the worst of them. Then she became his guard. Instead of trying to kill her (save for once), he invited her to breakfast. What do you do when everything you know is a lie? Eat first then spark a revolution. #YouDeservepIt #Q #A #F #YA #writingcommunity
