Questa è una registrazione storica. Chi è questa persona? Il video mostra l'attuale Segretario di Stato degli Stati Uniti🇺🇸 @SecRubio nel 2014, mentre esprime indignazione per il fatto che gli Stati Uniti abbiano costretto l'Ucraina 🇺🇦 a rinunciare a 1900 testate nucleari, e assicura che gli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸 "difenderanno l'Ucraina per sempre". Sono passati 12 anni. Ora Marco Rubio, sotto la pressione di @realDonaldTrump è uno dei primi a convincere l'Ucraina ad accettare la capitolazione davanti al aggressore russo…

US Marshals, acting on behalf of the DOJ in Memphis, TN, kicked a dog during an arrest, leaving it with a broken rib. Fedbois target the defenseless like serial killers. It's well documented— they find joy in the suffering of innocent animals. What should be his punishment?

Over the course of a lifetime, we face only a few moments where the decisions we make and the actions we take will shape our history for years to come.  This is one of them.

Here’s the 60 Minutes segment that CBS suddenly refused to air—after Trump criticized the show. Take a few minutes to watch what they didn’t want you to see. This story should be told:

Molly Drake was an unsung yet profoundly moving poet, singer, pianist and composer whose melancholic songs hit on universal themes of despair, heartbreak, longing and loss. She was also the mother of the musician Nick Drake. nyti.ms/4fBxdNL

Okay, I love this book so I need to rephrase the “biography” part. This book about Connie Converse by Howard Fishman is, well, a book about Connie Converse with biographical details but not a biography, as Howard himself said in one of the podcasts. Nonetheless, great read.
I am so excited because I was wondering what to do with the points I had for Amazon (I no longer wish to shop from them due to the genocide), but amazingly I discovered Connie Converse and her biography was exactly the same number of points I had left! Peace to 🇵🇸

Here's the Washington Post's front page on January 7, 2021. Four years later, the paper, famous for its tagline "Democracy Dies in Darkness," doesn't want to take a stand on who is fit to be president.

it also reminds me of this book about connie converse. there is something about media that goes deep into artists that are hugely talented and magnificently skilled and compelling, but who never really manage true mainstream success that really really gets to me

This is a great read, incidentally @howardfishman ♥️
The alternative music genre began with Connie Converse and a big reel-to-reel tape machine in someone's kitchen in the 1950's, etc ...
