As June is Pride month, it is a good time to share the mix. And the mix now also feels like a response to the current human suffering on so many fronts, and an expression of hope for relief.

BEAUTIFUL “NEW” INDIE FOLK MIX
Melancholy but hopeful mix I made in 2013 inspired by a song on an “It Gets Better” video a friend produced.

#FridayNightJam From Blossom Dearie's 1966 album "Blossom Time at Ronnie Scott's" (which is a club in London). Written by Dave Frishberg, a great songwriter and writer of several Schoolhouse Rock songs -- and Blossom also sang some of those!

Seems like they are letting themselves be used. They didn’t have to go to the speech, much less position themselves behind him on stage. His supporters are so deluded.

Can we talk about this in a per-month metric? I think it might be easier for folks to internalize.
It's like having a new $316 bill every single month.
That's a lot of groceries.

Trump’s reckless, across the board tariffs will cost families $3,800 per year.
That may not be a lot to Donald Trump or Elon Musk — but it's way too much for working families to pay while billionaires get tax cuts.

Trump's new tariffs will hit lower-income households the hardest
While Trump campaigned on a pledge to lower prices for struggling Americans, his tariffs are expected to increase the cost of everything from kids’ shoes to fresh produce.

One has to be a tool to buy a cybertruck — they are the Hummers of today — but the thing I fault this guy for the most is being queer person with Ukrainian connections who STILL apparently supports Trump and Musk. Buying the car is mockworthy but his continued support for them is truly deplorable.

Why don’t you think they have a vision for the constitutional order? If you listen to Ezra Klein’s podcast, he’s quite clear on that. Frankly, the constitutional order was pretty clear before Trump took office, so seems like there’s not a lot of debate on the proper vision of that on the left.
