Bad news: Senator John Fetterman's book isn't selling. We need to support our Democratic senators if we want to take back Congress in 2026. That means walking the walk and putting our money where our mouth is — even if we disagree sometimes.
Support the Fetterman Book Fund!

Dickie Barrett and Ken Casey are the Goofus and Gallant, respectively, of loud Boston white guys
I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"

Is it not fucking glorious? I keep going to shows with bands that weren't born yet when I was in college and they're fantastic. This wave of ska is young, and diverse, and queer as hell, and lovingly making amazing music.
Other than everything, this is a fantastic time to be alive.
