People are People by @depechemode.com currently playing at the Detroit Airport as I read about ICE raids in Charlotte school pickup lines as I wait to board my flight there.

This Clash lyric has been in loop in my brain for the last 10 years...

"If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway"

Then I think... how do we unbreak all of these people that were broken down to believe fascism is Christian and Free?

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Boycott Airbnb! They’re DOGE!

So at what point to we officially consider capitalism dead? Musk wants to privatize the USPS and Amtrak first... then what? This is how Russian oligarchs were born and stamped out any possibility of democracy after the Berlin wall fell.

Reminder: Amazon Blackout—starting tomorrow.

Amazon ❌, Whole Foods ❌ off the to-do list!

Who else would like to see @sanders.senate.gov join forces with @jasmineforus.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social @adamkinzinger.bsky.social to give us all some sort of leadership to organize Americans to take our country back? Social media anger reading/posting keeps us in a million siloes.

This has been rattling around in my head for a while now...

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

THE Rep. Jasmine Crockett to Elon Musk:
"Fuck off."

So say we all.

FC St Pauli merch just arrived. Please buy and support them. Their fans and club have openly been anti-fascist since the 80s.

WYOMING:
“Thank you, Madam chairman.”
“I prefer ‘Mister’ chairman.”
“Well you all voted preferred pronouns cannot be compelled speech.”

I feel like this video is a perfect summary of what happened the last few decades. We know what comes next.

@sanders.senate.gov

please pick a successor to carry your torch for decades to come. We need one person to line up behind to fight fascism. Right now we are all lost, angry, rudderless as there are so many outlets that aren't really moving us forward.

Int'l Clash Day just started on KEXP. The Clash... all day long.

This quote about Joe Strummer by Henry Rollins is so revevant today...

This is not a time to be dismayed.

This is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for.

80 yrs ago today, the Soviets liberated Auschwitz. We must di everything in our power to avoid history repeating itself. A small group of sociopaths persuaded and intimidated good people into becoming accomplices. I walked these tracks personally. Everyone should.

47 years later, these Clash lyrics are more relevant than ever:

If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway.
