Remembering the late Kirsty MacColl on her birthday. She had the perfect voice for pop and They Don’t Know remains my go to song of hers. Such a tragedy that we lost her so young.

Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps.
If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats.
This is a blatant, racist power grab.
