📌Just heard an interview with John Mellencamp.
Jack, in "Jack and Diane" was written as a black dude. They were an interracial couple. Thing is, the music producers didn't like that back then, so it wasn’t sold that way.
Mellencamp was asked why.
"Because America is racist as hell, that’s why ..."

For far too many, politics is a way to make money, while for others, it is a way to improve the lives of all. If we want to survive this attack on Democracy, we need to become better at distinguishing between the grifters and the true believers.

Republicans are blocking a bill by the Democrats that would force Ghislaine Maxwell to testify under oath about the Epstein list and the actual clients on it.
If there’s nothing to hide, why block the testimony?
Are there Republicans and or donors on the list?

Transferring a sexual predator - who is not eligible under Fed prison regs- to a *reduced* security prison is NOT a “prison security issue”, it’s a reward that Blanche approved.
