I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

I don't understand - if we've made it this far we *want* to hear those things. One that drives me nuts is on the Joni Mitchell and James Taylor BBC concert... they try twice to start California together before Joni eventually starts it on her own. Such a nice moment cut from the official release

He knows that even though Jesus had long hair he wasn't a woman, right?

I’m afraid of what Russ Vought et al are capable of re: midterms

The people of Minnesota are an inspiration to us all. Incredible.

For those outside the Twin Cities, the person posting this GoFundMe is a member of Minneapolis city council (and among the many locals doing absolutely heroic resistance to ICE), so it's legit.

The story of Liam, and Renee Good, and so many others from MN should horrify any American. And the answer is NOT for the opposition party to offer further training to the people terrorizing, kidnapping, and killing their constituents. The trouble with Nazis wasn’t that they needed more training.

Ben Luhmann, who filmed this, is one of the two high schoolers from a conservative Christian family I rode along with in Chicago when they were searching for ICE agents there.

When I asked him how his faith informed his efforts to document ICE/DHS, he told me this. religionnews.com/2025/11/25/h...

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

In France, schools often have a poignant plaque on the wall near their entrance recounting how many students were kidnapped by the Nazis from that school during the occupation.

Four students have been taken from this Minnesota school district.

Election deniers now hold posts on local US election boards, raising concerns for midterms β€˜Election integrity’ activists have found way to positions of power, raising red flags about potential partisan meddling

I think the follow up question is to what extent are local election boards compromised www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Stop saying Trump is threatening tariffs on European countries. He’s threatening tariffs on European *products* – but American companies and people will pay the Trump tax.

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ³ πŸ’‹

Fantastic, I’ve never thought about how decidedly 20th century that song is. It’s another level of longing…

THIS is why I love your podcast. Learning the context in which the music and the big events in Rock History exist adds a whole new layer to the story and the appreciation of the art.

The Shins' "Oh, Inverted World" (which included "New Slang") had been out for 3 years before it was used in the movie and they were suddenly everywhere. I for one picked up "Chutes Too Narrow" thinking it was on there...

Did "New Slang" change your life regardless?
