I wasn’t gonna weigh in but this pushed me over the edge. Turn the lights off in a record store & pull ANYTHING from the folk, blues, jazz, soul, reggae, punk, hip hop sections from the last 150 years of music and there’s a good chance you’re gonna find something better than this
a. I think progressives should listen to this. In part, bc it’s just a good tune.
b. But also bc it shows the path of realignment. Anthony sings about the soullessness of work, shit wages and the power of the elites.
All problems the left has better solutions to than the right.

Why? Literally, why? Voting should be as easy as possible. There's no virtue in suffering here. Also it should not be on a Tuesday.
"Automatic voter registration" is wrong. People should have to get off their ass and get themselves registered to vote.

I’m sorry, but this is just not true. Hundreds of thousands of people marched in protest of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, in NYC, in DC, all over the world, in the streets, college campuses, direct action, etc.; and more than once. There was massive discontent.
Iraq was a parade; months of carefully managed propaganda had most of the US whipped into a fever pitch. "Shock and Awe" was must-see TV. Forget opposing the war-seeing it as a solemn duty instead of a celebratory event was as radical as mainstream public opinion would allow

I don’t know this guy, I think his analysis is ridiculous, wrong. narcissistic, etc.; but also, I really want to implore people to stop saying “butthurt.” If it wasn’t clear the last time I tweeted about this, *I think* it’s homophobic. The second I see that word, we’re done.

This week we talk to
@tedleo
(link in bio). He gives us the full--and compelling--backstory for his 2003 song "Where Have All The Rude Boys Gone?"
He also tells us about his love for 2 Tone, mods, 80s NY ska, and Fishbone.
And some great stories--like one of worst shows ever
