The Commission on Presidential Debates announced in the aftermath of Trump's Faux Tourette Syndrome disruption of the first debate and subsequent contraction of COVID-19, that the debate would have a virtual format. So why did Trump loudly refuse to debate in this format?
This weekend's music thread is meant to remind people about the emotional struggle even the strong and defiant people of Ukraine have to deal with each and every day. Share songs about the blues, dealing with hard times, and overcoming them personally or with the support of friends. Slava Ukraini!
This week we observed the one-year anniversary of the Trump-led attempt to overthrow our democracy on January 6, 2021. Our nation and our democracy held firm and we're still standing against the Republican Party of Insurrection but we will need to pass voting rights protections to keep standing strong. We can't let down now. So the theme for this weekend's music thread is about standing up, staying strong, and fighting to win against the destructive forces trying to rip democracy out of the majority's hands.
So...what IS in a name? Our names are probably one of the most fundamental aspects of our identity. We transgender have the opportunity to choose our own names, names that have significance for us...
The story over at Boeing came out after the first crash. Of course the second crash need never have happened. Hundreds of people were killed for no good reason. They died, human beings ripped to shreds, and burned to charred husks, for ego.
A real man stands up to his adversaries; he makes them eat their words. Be a real man and do the best testing, the best contract tracing, and slow down/contain the deaths in the best way possible, that only you can do. Show them that you are the only one who can fix it; stand up and fix it.
Record setting job growth so unemployment is down, the leader of ISIS is killed, courts are preventing Republicans from gerrymandering away people's voting rights, Covid infections are down sharply (though deaths are still too high) and the Olympics have started while the Superbowl is played next week. Lots of things going on that are about winning so this weekend's music thread is about winning and losing, playing, games and being active.
"Don't you people get anything? 420lbs. is the ideal body weight. Exercise is harmful. I told you!"
This weekend's music thread is about America, freedom, independence and any qualities of the country (current or not) that people celebrate.
This weekend's music thread is dedicated to the remarkable Ukrainian people who are showing the world what real heroes look like. Share your favorite songs about fighting, winning, being heroes or whatever songs you want to send to our brothers and sisters in Ukraine to show you support them.
