And I’m also always amused by the Flanderization of Willie Nelson because he’s
Just been a pain the collective ass of people for years

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.
But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

With so many examples of media cowardice on a national level, I'm gratified to report in this article that Chicago's local journalists are aggressively exposing the Trump regime's cruelty and lies.

just thinking for no reason about how the colloquialism “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps” originated as a sarcastic joke because it is an obviously impossible thing to do, and how everything wrong with America is encapsulated by the ease with which we now casually tell poor people to do it
The problem with America isn’t the rich taking advantage of the poor, it’s the poor being OK with that.

When I lived in NYC, they ‘protested’ De Blasio by not patrolling Black and Brown neighborhoods to show how ‘crime infested’ they were.
For about three or four days, folks were barbecuing, kids were playing outside and house parties ran into the night.
The NYPD stopped ‘protesting’ soon after

To me, the lesson of De Blasio and the NYPD is different: they will hate you no matter what.
NYPD, especially the white well-connected officers who make up the upper ranks, get their news from conservative propaganda and will not respect your authority or cooperate with you no matter what you do.
