I saw Johnny at 688 in Atlanta. He used my cap as a windscreen on the microphone, much to my delight. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

When our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is working overtime to suppress the vote in the midterm elections, silence isn't an option. No Kings Day on March 28 has to be big, loud, and inescapable.

Please join us.

Listening to Stag from the At The Stake box set. There are bonus tracks, including an amazing cover of Pink Floyd's 'Interstellar Overdrive'. This is a good song too.

Ramones - Road To Ruin. I soon had their other records too & was a confirmed punk rocker. But I still listened to Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult & Led Zeppelin.

A weathered gray wooden door with three rusted metal hinges is set into a wall of red brick and crumbling tan stucco. A thick, leafy vine with bright orange trumpet-shaped flowers and long green seed pods grows across the top of the door and hangs down its front. A small metal padlock secures a latch on the left side of the door, and the entire scene shows significant age and weathering.

A woman sitting at a table in a cafe with her back to her companion, a man looking the other way. A wine glass can be seen on the table and a large mirror behind them, partially reflecting the scene.

In "Nichols Canyon," David Hockney employs vibrant colors and bold, winding lines to capture the undulating landscape and vivid scenery of Los Angeles. The painting is a testament to Hockney's fascination with the lively Californian environment and reflects the artist's signature style of blending abstraction with realism.

Trump told his Republican henchmen when he was going to attack Iran. The day before the war started they all invested in defense stocks and made a fortune.

We are in an unnecessary war that the public doesnโ€™t want, without a clear purpose or endgame.

How should the American people respond? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-underlying-failure

To think MAGA was out here clutching pearls over whether someone might buy candy, cookies, or soda with food assistance, while so many bigger issues go untouched.

BREAKING: The DOJ has "indefinitely paused" the unsealing of the Epstein files citing "regional instability" &
"national security"

This is literally the reason they started this war.

Donโ€™t stop talking about the #EpsteinFiles

And itโ€™s time to rename them the #TrumpFiles.
