There's a couple reasons so many IWW songs are set to the tunes of hymns and one is that the Salvation Army Band would show up and try to stop workers organizing by playing hymns to drown out speeches, so the Wobblies came up with words so they could sing along. SA has been trash all along.
It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

ICE writing long screeds whining about someone from Cato calling out their bullshit shows how they know they're losing the narrative here. No one likes ICE. No one trusts ICE. And they're flipping out about how weak they look.
ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

Name A 28-Year-Old | Defector
Here is the challenge before you: Name a famous person who is 28 years old. Go ahead. No cheating, no looking it up. Off the dome. Pure, uncut 28-year-old naming. I bet you can’t do it. Zendaya? 29. Gracie Abrams? 26. Paul Mescal? 29. Hannah Einbinder? 30. You’re lower than dirt. You couldn’t name

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.
Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.
Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.
Legacy media failed the country.

you know, I don't know much about Jane goodall, but I feel like she had a thing she was really passionate and driven about and she made it her duty in life to advocate for that thing without worrying that her advocacy was detracting from "more important" causes, and man, I can totally respect that
Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91
