Alison Moyet live at Big Night Live in Boston,MA. Her voice is as clear & strong as ever. Great band with her (producer of new album is also the bass player). Loved the new songs and LOVED the classics which were amazing live. For those in the area, this is a new-ish venue and was excellent!

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

I was there when they were overhauled the services-gave it to one company who was soon after acquired by a larger one. They cut rates for extremely experienced, qualified interpreters in many languages and never once met the targets they promised. A miscarriage of justice in an every way. Horrible.

I have tried some breaks from social media but with the current dumpster fire(s) when I reengage I feel like I have to catch up on all I missed so it becomes a zero sum game 🤦‍♂️

In January 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt answered the "America First" of his day - and foresaw the "America First" of ours:

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

Jane Fonda on the SAG awards said “when you watch a documentary about Stonewall or Selma, have you asked yourself would you have been brave enough to stand up, to walk the bridge?”

“This is your documentary moment because now is the time when we need to stand up.”

It’s go time.

The letter, sent to all of the bishops in the country, was a barn burner. He included doctrine and talked about immigration. It was beautiful.
