Perry: This St. Patrick’s Day, don’t forget Irish music’s anti-fascist roots Dropkick Murphys, the iconic Irish American punk band, are headlining a free block party March 6 near where Alex Pretti was killed by immigration agents, contributing columnist David M. Perry writes.

NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

I read it a couple months ago. Some great insight from a master.

The other 47%, many of whom can’t afford health care or groceries, believe that one day they will be billionaires too.

"The World is a Corporation" (Network, 1976) YouTube video by Pedro Palatnik

...so maybe Network is best known for the 'i'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore' speech, but it's Ned Beatty's Arthur Jensen scene that shocks in 2026.
If this doesn't nail the sinister corporate thinking behind Trump/Epstein, I don't know what does...

It all happened 400 years ago.There was a riot in London, complaining about the presence of strangers in London (immigrants). The authorities send out a young lawyer of the time called Thomas Moore to put down the riots with an appeal to humanity. William Shakespeare by Ian mckellen (Gandalf)

NEW: since last year, a pair of "highly trained" feds have been involved in an array of incidents attacking crowds with chemical weapons.

We used public records and open source analysis to identify Edgar Vazquez and Michael Sveum, alongside some other members of their tactical team.

My god, you are spineless. There’s no reforming ICE, dipshit. Maybe if you spent more time representing the people of THIS country instead of worrying about another country, you’d understand.

@schumer.senate.gov Hey, Chuck! ICE is broken. There is no fixing an organization that is actively executing us in the streets. It is their intention and it won't end. There are concentration camps in our country! Abolish ICE and remove Noem!

A quote for our times from Cool Hand Luke on @tcmtv.bsky.social.

Boss: "Sorry, Luke. I'm just doing my job. You gotta appreciate that."
Luke: "Nah - calling it your job don't make it right...Boss."

Can’t wait for the next eight months of will/won’t Aaron Rodgers retire coverage, which is all that clown wants: attention.
