John Coltrane’s endangered Strawberry Mansion home is finally being restored and revitalized

The jazz legend bought the house at 1511 N. 33rd Street and lived there until 1958. Fires, demolition, and legal troubles have long threatened its survival.

For anyyone who wants to really know what's wrong with the Democratic Party, please read this story in The Nation. We have a lot of work to do. #Democrats @democrats-judiciary.house.gov @democraticparty.bsky.social www.thenation.com/article/poli...

People Are Furious With Democrats. Bernie Sanders Knows Why.

Democratic Party leadership is way out of touch with where the American people are, and it’s almost frightening to see the kind of anger and contempt that people feel toward it.

New Jersey!! Your opportunity to vote Nov 4th for your next Governor requires that you are registered to vote by tomorrow.

If you are already registered - CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION.

Promotional graphic encouraging voter registration in New Jersey. At the top, bold black text reads “vote.nj.gov.” Below, two illustrated raised hands—one larger, one smaller—symbolize civic participation. Beneath the hands, two yellow rectangular signs with bold black text say “CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION” and “REGISTER TO VOTE NOW!” The design uses high contrast and simple imagery to promote action and engagement.

Tune of the day…Philly Joe Jones - Minor Mode. I’ve learned that drummers like themselves some C minor tunes, and will call a whole set of them if you let them. So no surprise I 1st played this one on a drummer’s gig. But I can see why as Philly Joe sounds great here. #jazzsky youtu.be/ioF8e8bm6Y4

Great essay by Michael Tomasky!

For God’s Sake, Democrats: Don’t Cave

They’re widely, and rightly, perceived as weak. The shutdown fight is their chance to shock us for a change.

We're with you governor!

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 10d

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Are we going to stand with the richest Americans or working people? That's the fundamental question in this fight.

I’m sticking with hardworking Americans.
