Bruce Hornsby hits #1 today in 1986 with “The Way It Is”.

“Just when one thinks we are making progress,” he said, “appalling incidents will occur that shock and sadden anyone who is interested in equality in American life,” he said. “So sadly, the song still retains a bittersweet topical quality.”

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

The same people who clutch their pearls, claiming Western civilization is under assault from immigration, are also waging attacks on science, the arts, education, civil rights, personal liberties, secularism, rule of law, and democracy. They are the barbarians.

Wish I could find that article from summer of 2016 that delineated why Trump was a fascist wannabe. Maybe in the Atlantic? Or New Yorker? Or Guardian? This is why I hate the internet for news and commentary: can't keep it in a pile to physically dig though and find articles when the mood strikes.
