Just 'cause it has to be said every now and then.

GOP Senators and Representatives are obviously okay with...everything...that's happening.

Let's drink beer instead.

A pint of Guinness in a Guinness glass, missing a couple of healthy sips.

Now Starmer wants to arrest people for pro-Palestine chants.

He can try to silence the truth but we will not be cowed: his government is complicit in genocide.

This Saturday, we march for Gaza. Let's make it massive 🇵🇸

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

I see a lot of people saying that a person charged with a crime deserves the chance to prove their innocence.

Please stop doing this because you have it backwards and this is really important.

It is ALWAYS the government's burden to prove a person guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

On this day in 1962, musical history was made with the release of "Love Me Do" by The Beatles. This iconic debut single was written by Paul McCartney while skipping school at age 16.

The point of Jonah is not Nineveh’s repentance but Jonah’s fury at God’s mercy. It is a scathing parody of nationalistic religion that wants God on 'our side' and cannot stomach the possibility that God’s love extends beyond our religious and political borders, especially those considered 'enemies'.

55 years ago today, the world lost Janis Joplin — the wild heart of rock and blues. With that raspy roar and fearless soul, she turned every stage into a revolution. Gone at 27, but her fire still burns loud.

Traffic, Blind Faith, the Spencer Davis Group and then he played all of the instruments on his solo debut album Arc of a Diver, and sold millions with Talking Back to the Night, Back in the High Life, and Roll with It, and Steve Winwood is still underrated.
