Every day they show their hand
Thank you for the music inspiration on this snowy morning!

Jesse Jackson appeared on Sesame Street in 1973.
During his appearance, he led a group of children in reciting his well-known poem βI Am Somebody,β a message focused on self-worth and empowerment
The segment became one of the most memorable celebrity appearances from the early seasons of the show.
"...some art changes how we see ourselves."
I will be forever grateful to my hometown radio station, where I first heard "Tinseltown in the Rain" on their Sunday midnight "alternative" show. I still have this on vinyl, purchased immediately after that first listen.
Beautiful.

As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

Letβs talk about the R in MMR. Thatβs rubella, aka German Measles. Itβs nasty business if a baby is exposed in utero. How nasty? Letβs get into it. π§΅π1/4
Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.
Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.
Do not.
Always follow the money
Casual reminder that the myth of βpulling yourself up by your bootstrapsβ is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
Mayor Mamdani!

I can't believe I agree with Reagan. What is this world coming to?? I had many discussions with my grandmother about what it was like living through the Depression. It is real, it was beyond difficult, and it is where we are heading now.
βItβs not his house. Itβs your house. And heβs destroying it.β
Soooo...he lied.
The White House is demolishing the entirety of the East Wing to make way for President Trumpβs $200 million ballroom, a construction project that is far more extensive than he initially let on, a senior administration official said on Wednesday.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings
But no money to lower your healthcare costs.
Trumpβs construction of the Epstein Ballroom continues today. Can only imagine heβll be renting it out for many junior proms.
Speaker Johnson must stop blocking the results of a free and fair election. Weβre demanding he do his job and swear in Adelita Grijalva immediately.

Well said! And when you want information, remember your medical librarian too.
Trump and his billionaire donors might be able to determine Adams and Cuomoβs actions. But they won't decide this election.
In just over 5 weeks, we'll turn the page on the politics of big money and small ideas β and deliver a government every New Yorker can be proud of.
A well-timed reminder of what life was like before we had the safety of vaccines. Thankfully, most of us donβt remember this time because we are vaccinated. We must fight for our rights, and those of the generations behind us, so we donβt return to dying from completely preventable disease
