What you are living through is a moment where the explicit assertion of white racial superiority has ascended to power and they’re looking to entrench white supremacy.

Kanye is right up there with R. Kelly. There’s no reason anybody should support anything of his.

Alex Chilton did an interview at Jazz Fest one year where he said of Big Star “We all wanted to be the Beatles but we weren’t good enough musicians.” I think a lot of people disagree with that assessment. RIP

The irony is not lost on me that we sweep all of the unhoused from their spots and say they can’t camo there, yet we allow people to camp out to save their spots for Endymion.
Can we move all of those people to a warehouse in Gentilly?

The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies.
The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.

Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

Even if you’re not a Kendrick fan, there’s gotta be at least SOME form of art in your life that you’re willing to do the work to understand
It will literally make you a smarter, more empathetic person

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Cassidy is cowardly & craven. He does not care about Louisianians, health, science, or medicine. This support for RFK Jr shows that he only cares about his re-election chances. We always knew Kennedy was spineless garbage but Cassidy knows better and now confirms to us that he does not care. At all.
