“I’ve always believed that music is one of the most powerful bridges that we have. It crosses cultures, politics ... languages — and sometimes, pain. In these past months I’ve had to fight battles I never imagined. But on the hardest days, music remained my companion.” — Raul Malo, RIP.

Here's an idea: Any Democrat who wants to be taken seriously as a presidential candidate in 2028 must pledge to rip this cabal of anti-democracy tech fascists out of our government.
Anyone who won't make that pledge is for the billionaires, not the people. This must be a deal-breaking litmus test.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
