Macklemore said “Free Palestine” and billionaire venue owners pushed him off the tour. That is political blacklisting. The artists who walked out showed more courage than those hiding behind “neutrality.” Silence during a genocide is not neutral. It is a choice.

With Trump building a dictatorship and even AI developers warning it could kill us all, I thought of the ancient Chinese curse: "May you live in interesting times."
Except it may not be ancient or Chinese. The earliest solid citation is to a speech by a British diplomat in 1936.

The number of voters who make no distinction between a document-supported 6-month journalism investigation and something they heard from a guy squeezing canteloupes at the supermarket is truly frightening.

It's clear that the Trump regime is committing an armed robbery in Venezuela, and they won't tell the public who's getting the loot.
CASTEN: Trump said 'we're taking in billions and billions from Venezuela.' Who is the 'we'? That suggests flows to US persons
BESSENT: Again, this is one of the largest assets ever to go on the US balance sheets
CASTEN: You can't testify whether or not they're flowing to US persons?

2019 Bob Kraft went twice to a massage parlor in Jupiter, FL to solicit prostitutes. Cops were suspicious of the place & caught them on camera.
Kraft used his fortune & found a judge who ruled cameras violated the law and tossed everything out. Bob walked. The women were charged with prostitution.
