Nazis on the streets in Florida.

REMINDER:

#ANTIFA = ANTI-FASCIST

And let me add: It's tempting to scoff at a handful of haters outside a mall, but rightwing extremism exists across American society, it's not just some fringe belief. We MUST remain vigilant against these violent and hateful people.

For those who assume I shot this footage, I didn't. I don't live in Florida and I wasn't there. The video is from @Imposter_Edits.

Was doing a show with my band in Paris (part backing track, part live). Lost power on all the gear except the piano so had to play solo until it was fixed.

Played one of the first ever raves in LA, at the Shrine. Late 80s or early 90s.

Worked with Frankie Knuckles during the inception of house music. That's the story.

Why Democrats Lose (THREAD)

As a former Dem insider, hear me out:

After 20 years of waking up to yet another miserable Dem defeat, I realized this is the DESIRED outcome. By watering down real progress, Biden, Pelosi, etc. actively preserve the system and keep the GOP strong.
Why Democrats Lose (cont.)

For too long, I subscribed to the common myth that Democrats lose because they "bring a knife to a gunfight," i.e. that they are well-meaning but ineffectual in the face of the fascist GOP.

But the facts say otherwise...
Why Democrats Lose (cont.)

Just look at the ludicrous Build Bigger Billionaires "negotiations." Despite Dem control of two branches, the bill keeps shrinking and shrinking. From $10T to $1.75T.

"It's Manchin!" they yell. "It's Sinema!" "It's the Parliamentarian!"

Please.

💵***CHALLENGE TO MUSK & BEZOS***

GIFT $10K TO EVERY HOMELESS PERSON IN AMERICA.

Dear @ElonMusk and @JeffBezos - your combined net worth is more than half a trillion💲.

A little more than 1% of that could give every U.S. homeless person $10,000.

WILL YOU DO IT TODAY?
💵***CHALLENGE TO MUSK & BEZOS***

BACKGROUND:

In 2020, Jeff Bezos tacked on $75B to his net worth. Elon Musk has added more than $50B to his wealth in just the past few months. Musk recently said he'd consider selling $6 billion of Tesla stock to address global hunger...
💵***CHALLENGE TO MUSK & BEZOS***

According to the The National Alliance to End Homelessness, there were approximately 580,000 people experiencing homelessness in America as of January 2020.

The pandemic has most certainly increased those numbers...

If you're blaming only Manchin and Sinema, Biden and Pelosi thank you for being their dupes.
Allow me to explain.

This, my friends, is Biden/Pelosi's actual agenda:

NO MINIMUM WAGE HIKE

NO STUDENT DEBT RELIEF

NO KILLING THE FILIBUSTER

NO MEDICARE FOR ALL

NO SCOTUS EXPANSION

NO ABOLISHING ICE

NO SHUTTING CHILD CAGES

NO END TO DRONING KIDS

NO REAL CLIMATE ACTION
If you truly buy into the rotating villain charade, read this:

"The idea that Manchin is to blame for killing the billionaires' tax is too convenient. Pelosi privately slammed the proposal hard at a meeting this week, aides tell me."

MANCHIN

IS

DOING

BIDEN

AND

PELOSI'S

BIDDING.

How do people still not see this?????????
I mean, really, the truth is staring us in the face:

Does anyone actually believe all this is because of Manchin, Sinema, and the Parliamentarian?

Irregardless.
I could care less.
Disorientated.
Speciality.
Ekcetera.
Begs the question (used incorrectly).

Any others?
Another:

"If I would have" instead of "If I had..."
And to be fair, "disorientated" and "speciality" are British uses, but I still don't love the superfluous syllables.
