@Dregs_One Numbers don’t mean a thing

As a listener, do you really care about a song's numbers? Like, do you ever go "a million streams?? This gotta be good!" Or, "Only 50,000?! Eh, I'ma pass." serious question

With his new film, ‘I Love Boosters,’ Oakland director Boots Riley places a bet that art can fuel a mass labor movement. “We need a mass, militant, radical labor movement to affect policy change,” he tells KQED. kqed.org/arts/13989694/…

The definitive map of what makes up the South

Congress gets free healthcare for life, a pension when they retire, and $79 A DAY for lunch... that’s all BEFORE their $175,000 a year salary. The system is a joke and tax payers are the punchline.

A school district in Tennessee has banned Alex Haley’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel “Roots,” arguing the subject matter is too much for children to handle.

The defense is seeking to suppress the evidence, including a gun, silencer and journal, arguing police conducted an unlawful warrantless search. ktvu.com/news/luigi-man…

Reiterating. Trump sues everybody. ABC, CBS, CNN, New York Times, Wall Street Journal. But everyday he’s called a pedophile, rapist, a child molester, all relevant to the Epstein Files. And he ain’t suing ANYBODY for that. The discovery alone would give him a fatal heart attack

President Trump's $1.776 billion settlement with the IRS is one of the single most corrupt acts in American history. They moved fast to avoid the scrutiny of the judicial process, and very likely violated the Constitution. This is an outrage.

Insane….glad she’s trying to fix this now but why are people still in prison for offenses that no longer exist for weed….how many other states are holding people in their prisons on bogus weed charges?

Happy birthday @mroctober Reggie Jackson. Won 3 straight World Series with Swingin’ A’s in 1970s.

Victims of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre have never been compensated, but apparently there is a plan afoot to pay the Jan 6 thugs who defecated in the U.S. Capitol, attacked police & destroyed property. Any country that allows this to happen is, in fact, a racist country.

On this day in 1896, 130 years ago, the Supreme Court handed down Plessy v. Ferguson and gave legal sanction to the lie of “separate but equal.” That decision helped entrench racial segregation for generations. The Supreme Court has gotten it wrong before, and when it does, the consequences are profound. In this moment, as voting rights are again being weakened, we must remember that justice cannot depend on courts alone. We must stay vigilant, organized, and committed to protecting our rights and our democracy. #MLK #VotingRights #PlessyvFerguson #SupremeCourt

Today the EPA proposed repealing limits on multiple types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. If finalized, the Trump administration proposal would end drinking water limits for four toxic PFAS.

The Oakland-based filmmaker Boots Riley’s zany movies, such as “Sorry to Bother You,” combine pop aesthetics with radical politics. Now his goal is to turn his new film, “I Love Boosters,” into a summer blockbuster, “a popcorn hit with a revolutionary heart,” Emily Nussbaum writes. The film is a Robin Hood story in which the Velvet Gang, a crew of shoplifting “boosters” led by an Oakland resident named Corvette (Keke Palmer), squares off with a venal, worker-exploiting, idea-stealing billionaire designer, Christie Smith, played by Demi Moore. Like all of Riley’s projects, “Boosters,” defies easy summary: it is a screwball farce, a heist flick, a sci-fi adventure, and a psychedelic social satire, double-stuffed with anti-capitalist themes.
