Had to restart this, the one started by Amerikat was going to expire soon, and I want it to continue!
Here’s one of my favorites (I didn’t see it live).
Tom Petty and Axl Rose, Free Falling.

Anyone watching Rachel Maddow now?
NLRB agency has its files downloaded by DOGE guys, and then info downloaded by computer operators in Russia. What is going on in this country? This is crazy.
Whistleblower on her show next.
Watching analysis on CNN about the Shapiro arson event by Penn AG.
Seems like everyone is afraid to call it out for what it is, domestic terrorism due to right wing extremism. After Dana Bash reports that the arsonist had multiple postings on social media about his hatred of Joe Biden, no mention about the significant threats by right wing extremists. He brings up the need for more mental health care, which is true, but DOGE doesn’t want to fund this.
Remember the weird case about strange internet links between Russia's Alfa Bank and the Trump Organization?
Do you think hackers in Russia have been working on manipulating our election results via secret electronic communications over the last few years, to effectively change the results of the election? Remember Trump said, “I don’t need your vote” before later saying “This is the last election you’ll have to vote in”. I
I can’t stop thinking that the election results don’t seem real, that something nefarious happened.
It was a long time coming, but Putin and Russia finally beat the USA.
Democracy has been a failed experiment, vanquished by greed, hate and ignorance.
I don’t know where to go from here.
Renowned photographer (David Hume Kennerly) leaves Ford Foundation board after Liz Cheney passed over for top award.
He called Liz Cheney the ‘only person on this planet’ worthy of the top award. Apparently, she was snubbed by the rest of the board members due to possible retribution from Donald Trump, if he becomes President.
After reading this today (CNN, NBC news), it offended me for two reasons: first, I can think of multiple Democrats (and some Republicans) who are as worthy of this honor as Liz Cheney is; and second, what good is an award from an organization that’s afraid of standing up for the principles it supposedly supports?
Kennerly says “I hope more people around the country will follow @Liz Cheney’s example and speak out about the threat to our democracy. Time to step up.”
I can think of multiple people who have spoken out against Trump. Some of them aren’t as wealthy and politically connected as Liz Cheney, and many can’t afford a bodyguard. Many also haven’t voted for or supported the majority of Trump’s crappy policies enacted during his Presidency.
America First Legal
I play a couple of word games on my phone, but I have to get through some ads in order to play. I was so glad when the election was over and the ads highlighting the endless right wing lies stopped, at least for a while. But there was a new one today, about racism towards white people, to include job hiring, college admissions, medical treatment and even funding after a disaster.
The ad was paid for by America First Legal. I googled it, and it’s sponsored by none other than our favorite orange balloon man, Donald Trump. It’s headed by Stephen Miller. It looks like Trump’s platform is to further push the racism card.

Trump really needs to be put behind bars, where he belongs. He’s not going to stop.
Trumpian coworker
We’re not allowed to discuss politics in the office where I work. There are a couple of far right wingers who are Trumpians in a big way. I’m somewhat friendly with one of them and was hoping she would have watched the hearing last night, so I asked her this am if she watched it, and she said no.
Probably didn’t want to miss Tucker, but I’m really disappointed her mind is so closed.
I really liked the Rachel Maddow show tonight.
She spent a lot of time urging Democrats to move forward with their agenda, as best they can. I liked her suggestion to cancel the August Congressional shutdown, or at least shorten it to a week, to continue working on important legislation and to confirm more federal judges. Democrats don’t have a lot of time to waste trying to appeal to Repubs, who won’t vote with them anyway. Manchin may be slowly moving forward to realizing that the filibuster will need to be altered for any Democratic legislation to pass.
