The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.
Tulsa announces reparations for the 1921 ‘Black Wall Street’ massacre

Happy 43rd b’day to “Combat Rock” — the iconic LP by @theclash.com that featured “Rock the Casbah”.
When writing, Joe Strummer said, “I started to think about what someone had told me .. that you get lashed for owning a disco album in Iran."
(Hence the line, “Shareef don’t like it.”)

“She Blinded Me With Science” peaks at #5 today in 1983 — a song for which Thomas Dolby, an aspiring filmmaker, pitched the video before writing the actual song.
“I showed [the label] the storyboard .. They said, ‘But when can we hear the SONG?’ I said, ‘Oh, I'll bring it on Monday morning.’” 😆

We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025.
Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.
