America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.
Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

At Mass today we read from Matthew 5 and prayed for peace, that we may all be peacemakers. It reminded me of this excerpt from Dan Berrigan which absolutely changed my life. Seems pretty relevant.

Imagine if the $$$ for ICE in the giant stupid bill were allocated to immigration courts & resources to help people on a path to citizenship.
I mean, sure, that would probably mean forgoing the whole white/supremacist fascist dictatorship thing & strengthening democracy, but could be worth it…

The only acceptable unfiltered ale is a farmhouse/saison. All other ales, especially IPAs, should be filtered.
What take would you choose to argue on jubilee with total confidence that you’d crush 20 opponents?

Dystopian books to read!
1984 - George Orwell
Brave New world - Aldous Huxley
Fahrenheit 451 - Ray Bradbury
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
The Circle - Dave Eggers
I'm sure there are many more so add yours if you feel like it. The one that really gave me pause was The Circle.

There's certainly truth in this statement, but evidence points towards it not being attributable to Dostoevsky. The historiography of the statement is fascinating: lareviewofbooks.org/article/dost...

No At&T placement is utterly heinous. Stereo also deserves a spot. Major Leagues, Shoot the Singer and Half a Canyon should all be higher. Regardless, I like Frontwards in the #1 slot and Passat Dream at #16 is a ballsy and commendable pick. Good work @stevenhyden.bsky.social !

The reason why I cry listening to these old songs isn't because I want to return to the past.
It's through music that I get to bear witness to all my past selves. I can see the girl and woman I used to be. She doesn't know I'm there.
I know my future self is here, right now, watching these tears.
