Country Joe Mcdonald - Feel Like i'm Fixing to Die Rag - Woodstock '69 YouTube video by Lidia

RIP Country Joe.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

The Association of McGill Professors of Science has filed for certification! 300 more academics taking back their university.

The universitas magistrorum et scholarium is being rebuilt, one faculty at a time.

Welcome AMPS to CoFAM and the #UnionUniversity !

The ideology of MAGA and Trumpism can be summed up in the words: politics as rape.

Hell. Hell is where you go.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Ira

Both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to strike Iran.

Both countries have major financial ties to Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.

War gives dictators like Trump (and his family) more power and more wealth. Period.

What is the most significant lesson I have learned over the past five years?

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

― Upton Sinclair

Quote from Washington Times editorial board "[Radical liberals] don't realize that, when they express contempt for the man who holds the country's highest office, they reveal their contempt for the Americans who put him there."

Uh no...we definitely realize it.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

No justification, no authorization from Congress, and no clear objective.

But none of that matters to Donald Trump — and apparently neither do the safety and lives of American service members.

Let me translate this: “A shit ton of your loved ones maybe sacrificed to keep the nation’s attention off the Epstein files. That is a sacrifice I’m totally willing to make.”

The news is now public: "A majority of academics in the Faculty of Science have joined the Association of McGill Professors of Science."

This winter has been brutal on my health. Sick on and off since mid December. Just getting over the latest cold. Knocked me out for a week. Are viruses mutating extra fast or are there just too many of them?

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

As Bill Cavanaugh would say: Idolatry!

Seth Harp @sethharpesq X.com Ross Douthat @DouthatNYT challenged me to a debate on foreign policy. We recorded a 90-minute segment for his show, Interesting Times, on 1/15/26. But I defeated him so decisively that he refuses to air the footage. What an absolute coward. Today 11:41 AM Hi Is the NYT still planning to publish the interview I did with Ross three weeks ago? Today 1:01 PM Hey Seth, we've been working through the edit and it's looking like we aren't going to be able to make it work. We were kind of pummeled by the news cycle in the last 6 weeks and are going to pivot away from this story. Thanks for the time you put into it and for your expertise. Unbelievable cowardice on Ross's part and a giant waste of my time. I'm going to make it known what actually happened: Ross challenged me to a debate on foreign policy, got crushed, and doesn't have the intellectual or journalistic integrity to air the footage. Delivered

Seth Harp @sethharpesq. •6h Five days after we recorded, an editor of mine asked me how it went. I told her that @DouthatNYT was surprisingly unprepared to defend his point of view, and I suspected even then that they would spike it. From To seth.harp@protonmail.com * T Jan 20 凹 了 介 → It seemed to go just fine from my perspective although it did get a little heated towards the end when we debated foreign policy.

👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

McGill Spent Over $1 Million Fighting Unionization – The Rover Union organizers at the university say this is part of a broader trend towards corporatization of the public institution.

@mcgill.ca Spent Over $1 Million Fighting #Unionization
By Christopher Curtis, Feb. 5, 2026

McGill University spent $1.1 million fighting its employees’ attempts to unionize over the past five years.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

Not enough. Every single ICE and CBP agent should be out of Minnesota. The terror campaign must stop.

ICE must be abolished.

We should all be concerned about the casting choice of #Helen of Troy in the new Nolan adaptation of the #Odyssey. To cast an actress who was not born of a magical egg departs from conventional expectations and undermines historical and classical authenticity.

A reminder that Bad Bunny performs in front of the biggest audience on earth in seven days

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

Open letter to our Senators:

Gentlemen, Ladies, we don't really care about ICE not getting even more funding. We don't care about more "training" and more rules they won't follow.

We want ICE de-funded. Dismantled. Gone. Driven out of our cities.

BREAKING: Tenants across Minneapolis and Saint Paul have just launched a Twin Cities tenant union, citing the fact that their cities are under siege, and saying they need to band together to protect one another.
