Paul Robeson historical marker at 50th and Walnut in Philly.
Paul Robeson (1898 - 1976) A Rutgers athlete and Columbia law graduate, Robeson won renown as a singer and actor. He was a noted interpreter of Negro spirituals. His career suffered because of his political activism, and he lived his last years here in retirement.

At the airport bookstore, one of these is a badly written fictional story, and the other is a great book about interstellar travel.
The books "Project Hail Mary" and "Under Siege"

This is the future - corporations do wild, terrible stuff, and then 10 years later some folks get a random payout of between $5 and $50.

We're fully in Bizarro World. The Right has the guns, the militias, the billionaire funding, the violent rhetoric, and does the vast majority of the violence.

Trump administration officials on Monday responded to the activist Charlie Kirk’s assassination by threatening to bring the weight of the federal government down on what they alleged was a left-wing network that funds and incites violence, seizing on the killing to make broad and unsubstantiated claims about their political opponents.

Kirk and MAGA believe in free speech only for themselves, it's that simple. Double standards and hypocrisy are core operating principles for the MAGA movement, and they can't gaslight us into being confused by that.
Charlie Kirk believed in free speech. His fans are getting people fired for exercising theirs Conservative influencers and even lawmakers are running a revenge campaign against anyone who speaks ill of the slain provocateur, but that goes against his own stated views on free expression.

Took a real look at the Horace Greeley statue in NYC for the first time, and it was donated by several New York Typographical Union locals, evidently Greeley was a local president.

The latest "Trump Ruins Something."
www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
“Everybody is pissed off and there was a lot of booing in the beginning. People from all over the world are standing here because they came to the U.S. Open to see tennis,” Gomberg continued. “Now it’s half-empty in there, although all the famous people are there, and of course Mr. Trump is in there, but not the people who paid a lot of money for their tickets.”

The Trump admin found that this murder was justified.

The shore team swam to the boat to make sure that all of the North Koreans were dead. They found no guns or uniforms. Evidence suggested that the crew, which people briefed on the mission said numbered two or three people, had been civilians diving for shellfish. All were dead, including the man in the water. Officials familiar with the mission said the SEALs pulled the bodies into the water to hide them from the North Korean authorities. One added that the SEALs punctured the boat crew’s lungs with knives to make sure their bodies would sink.
