Wow. Had never seen this Willie & Sinead version, and it's every bit as good as Peter & Kate, two of my all time favorite artists.

Interesting collaboration, Willie Nelson and Sinead O’Connor doing a cover of Peter Gabriel’s “Don’t Give Up” 🎶

The Trump regime has announced a new escalation in its war on free speech and civil society.
Pam Bondi sent a memo to every federal prosecutor directing them to go on offense against all organizations connected to “ANTIFA” — a loose ideology rather than an actual organization or group.

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.
