You’re offered so much, but you’re frightened to take it.

Music (punk, garage, new wave, jazz, indie, post-punk, glam, classical, whatever), Mets/Jets/Rangers, cats, beer, higher ed, travel, art, etc. Pro democracy, pro justice. Jersey since birth.

We’re more than a year away from midterms and 3+ from the next presidential election (presuming we have them) and I see it’s already “this Democrat doesn’t 100% meet my purity test, therefore they’re no different than Trump” season 🤦🏻‍♂️

This *only* helps Republicans.

Whatever Trump is desperately covering up about Epstein, it’s clearly so bad that he thinks it could destroy him

NEWS: Trump’s DOJ is now negotiating cash reparations for his allies who were investigated by the FBI.

First he wants $230M for himself. Now taxpayer payouts for friends.

They’re not even hiding the corruption anymore.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

If you’re willing to say, out loud, that it’s “worse” to rape a 5 year old than a 14 year old, this was never about protecting kids.

Day 14 - At the time, many slagged Gary Numan off as simple synthpop. I think his stuff has held up really well. I saw his first US show.

Removing a monument honoring Black US soldiers has nothing to do with DEI. It’s erasure of history and it’s straight-up racism.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.

Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.

Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

Day 12 - In 1978, New Wave was a kind of fringe genre, very much on the outside. Within a year there were bands and songs that were (happily) inescapable, especially this one.

9. Their earlier classic singles (My Generation, The Kids Are Alright etc) weren’t hits in the States, but by 1967 The Who started becoming stars here. Two years later with Tommy, they were as big as anyone.
