And that jackoff tried to dismantle Turner Classic Movies. Ever since he "hit" w/duck dynasty & ice truckers, he's been mediocre shit. Yet he still has power.

They hate arts & libraries. This is part of the right wing elite attack on common places because they want folks to be angry & alone & ignorant—the 3 main ingredients for a society ruled by a cabal of corporations & wealthy overlords. Disgusting fascist fuckers.

Have you read Payne's book? So much better than that shit published by Marable in 2011.

Yeah. I was in last Chicago two years ago. I still imagine a lot of older, low income black folks (along with a lot of unhoused ppl of all demographics) on the Southside will perish this summer. Sad shit.

I was 10, in 95, it hit a 104. We busted the hydrants to keep cool. If it's over 100 now, climate change is really kicking our ass. Ha. Too many 100+ days.

I consider myself a fairly informed cat, but I felt stupid as hell not knowing until last year that she was a well known journalist, too. Payne's book put me on.

In the UK, the knock on Starmer is that he's too vague & uninspiring; I've heard podcast hosts say Starmer doesn't inspire like Blair in 1997. But l've read old news articles & the same things were said abt Blair. Why is the Brit press going easy on Starmer?
