The new album from Lonnie Holley is extraordinary. Spoken-word truth laid out on a field of ambient soundscapes. It’s a bare-bones, honest testament to the nightmare of living in the ultimate segregated country.

Take 10 minutes to listen to and think about this recitation of "20 Lessons On Tyranny" (spoken by John Lithgow).
We're here now, and we need every tool we have to make it through.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

This is a real quote from former President Lyndon Johnson. It basically explains American history in two sentences.

I've lived through economic collapses before. I don't think I've ever lived through a self-imposed economic collapse until now. My goodness, but our President is an idiot.

The new album by Lonnie Holley is a beautiful and disturbing collage of past lives lived under the most brutal conditions. It's one of my favorite albums this year.

This is a very interesting analysis of what led so many people to think a convicted felon/rapist/failed businessman was the answer to their problems, and what can be done now:

As a U.S. citizen, I advise all persons from other countries to cancel any planned trips to this country. There is a real chance you will be arrested, detained, or worse, esp. if you've ever publicly criticized the current Presidential administration. For your safety, stay away from the U.S.A.

The last month of activity in the White House has made it clear that Donald Trump is an agent of V. Putin's Russian state whose goal is to weaken and ultimately destroy the U.S.A.'s institutions, processes, and alliances in the name of promoting Moscow's global hegemony.
Someone investigate this!

It's now been three months since I've stopped watching CNN and the Sunday yak shows. I don't miss them one bit.
Now that football is over, ESPN is off the menu too. I may not go back there either.
