Why would anyone want to place the blame in China, on the other side of the world? Who would benefit from chaos? Who always scapegoats? Let's see? Who should we ask? Who is irresponsible enough to kill a hundred thousand for a diversion that would allow him to eventually declare martial law, and finally suspend the Constitution? That's a tough one!
Black Americans, joined by Americans of all races, are standing up to power and not afraid to question the status quo. So this weekend's music thread is about questioning, songs that ask who, what, why, how or where.
If you know that my parents were teachers and think I had them help me? They would have, if I asked. I knew the system was fucked early on for someone with ADD. Even my parents didn't know, because I got by, being smart and knowing stuff.
This paranoid rabble-rouser and dimwit have already done more to divide Americans than any hate-filled, filthy, denier on FOX's hotbed of virulent racism and mindless denial of decency and civility. Now he advocates more hate, with more bizarre and unreal fantasies to support it.

No attempts by any of the other officers to have Chauvin remove his knee from the neck of Floyd,
I had the pleasure to catch Grace Potter, Jackson Browne, Marcus King and Lucius sing Grace's song, "Each Other" on The Colbert Show last night and it struck a chord. So this weekend, it leads our music thread with the theme of humanity, people and solidarity.
Interconnectedness isn't just philosophy, it is the way of the Universe. Balance, harmony, co-existence; they aren't social experimentation. They are survival gear. Balance! If all those billions of species aren't in balance, then the system goes haywire, and previously HARMLESS viruses unite and turn deadly.
