Over 2 dozen companies are funding or pledging money to trump’s 300 Million Ballroom.
They are paying for access.

Early voting in the NYC mayoral election begins TODAY.

If you're a New Yorker, I urge you to vote for Zohran Mamdani — the only candidate who will stand up to the oligarchy and fight for working people.

Listen to his inspiring words from primary night.
Today's reading...rather, rereading of Ace Frehley's 2011 memoir. It's fantastic, endlessly entertaining, and exquisitely written.

South Koreans held their government accountable earlier this year. And now they’re protesting for American’s rights and democracy on No Kings too!

Thank you South Korea! #NoKings ❌👑

Murphy: Trump does think that he's a king, and he thinks that he can act more corruptly when the government is shut down. But he cannot. He doesn't have new powers, extra powers in the shutdown.

It’s Preparation Day.
Be organized . Be alert.
Stay together . And remember…
I saw KISS for the first time in 1977 w/my Dad. Millions of kids in the KISS Army did. KISS had the same bombastic effect on Gen X as Star Wars and Atari Space Invaders did. It's funny how so many pop culture experts miss this over and over again.

We wanted the best and got the best...Ace Frehley

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit.

This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noem’s “Stare Down” with Man in Chicken Suit
A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

Got excited when I saw Kid Rock trending, but disappointingly, he's not dead.

Before we move on to today’s shooting at a Mormon church, let’s not forget that this man killed three people and injured seven when he opened fire from a boat in North Carolina yesterday.
Full-blown ginger billy being cruel to animals.

Figures.
