A black woman won a country music award so today the Grammys have announced they're are creating a new "best traditional country album" award, one that is separate from - but equal to! - the renamed "best contemporary country album" award, formerly known by its original name of "best country album".

If there's anything that illustrated the hollowness of the Democratic Party as an effective opposition for me, it's this.

Yesterday, I watched a video of a sitting US Senator being thrown to the ground and cuffed by fed goons for asking questions of the fed official he has direct oversight authority over.

Within minutes, I'd gotten DOZENS of texts from Dems and Dem orgs asking for $5-$50 to "fight fascism."

That's it. "Are you terrified that your country is slipping into fascism? Pay me."

Once you realize that there is no master in heaven judging you / rooting for you / challenging you / instructing you / keeping your permanent record, the only reasonable course of action is kindness. To choose otherwise is to create suffering.
So then the question becomes why there have ever been durable increases in our standard of living. The answer is simple: worker solidarity. Increases in the power of workers are the only thing that will ever lead to increases in our standard of living that won't get absorbed by the parasites.
If you ever wonder why our standard of living has stagnated, this is why: rent-seeking expands to absorb all available economic surplus. If it expands too much, that causes productivity to fall because people get pissed off. If it expands too little, our standard of living rises temporarily, but it will always decline back to the mean.

Video of police in LA shooting women point blank with no protesters any where near the incident.

REPEAT: police or ICE in LA are on an offensive assault mission, not civil community policing.

No law enforcement training justifies such behavior in the context.
