Michael Stipe

On this day 30 years ago, R.E.M. appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone.

On this day in 1998, R.E.M. performed with Neil Young at the annual Bridge School Benefit Concert near San Francisco, California. “I can die a happy man,” said Peter the following week on BBC Radio One.

El vocalista de R.E.M. dejó boquiabiertos a los asistentes de la fiesta de The National en la Sala Atabal de Biarritz, banda estadounidense que actúa este domingo en el Kursaal 👉 https://mrf.lu/2b2Jl

The National had not played live in two years before Berlin on Oct. 11. Six days later Stipe came out in Biarritz and sang "No Time for Love Like Now," then "E-Bow the Letter" with Berninger. Aaron Dessner: "We used to beg them to play certain songs."

Amazing

Where is the outrage, Republicans?

No bad trade deals. End dumb tariffs. Stop the wars. Invest here. Build things in Michigan. Watch our latest ad:

I'm proud to be united with Democratic senators and ready to take back the Senate majority in November.

Mike Rogers couldn't be bothered to show up to the debate, but here's what I would have asked him if he wasn't such a coward:

Mike Rogers left his home in Florida to try to get to Michigan and somehow ended up in Dallas...let's help him out!

Mike Rogers holds millions of dollars of stock in AI-related companies. He’d let them build a new data center in your backyard tomorrow if the price is right. Now he’s backtracking because he thinks he can trick us into believing otherwise.

We're coming for Mike Rogers and we're coming for Trumpism.

I proudly endorse this message from my grandparents ❤️

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

He is amazing

Today is the 11 year anniversary of the day the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in America. President Obama's words that day should be shared everywhere.

Figuring out arrangement and where to place the breath

I'll tell you this. If we want nice things, we can have them. But we will not get them from the corporations who wrote the rules to rig the system against us. We will not get them by voting for corporate-backed politicians.

Long before this regime turned “wokeness” into a political punching bag, Black women used the term as a call to vigilance—a reminder to stay awake to the systems designed to undermine our safety & humanity.―Stacey Abrams staceyabrams.substack.com/p/democracy-... @staceyabrams.com #PINKS

It’s called The Default Body and it’s the project I’ve been building toward my entire career. Throughout medical school, now residency, and with my work as the ‘Medical Mythbuster,’ I kept running into the same question: Whose body was medicine actually built for? Joel Bervell, MD

Ladies & "gentlemen" this could be your daughter! She had a miscarriage and they arrested her for murder. Vote blue!

You can see the uptick in uses of "Christian nationalism" in the 1930s/40s on Google ngram, then a decline in the 1950s, a steady rise in the 1980s, before an explosion in the 2010s.

Ok this is amazing

Gift rhymes with GRIFT. Ask an Army brat lyricist

@Rep_Walkinshaw (D-VA) represents my brother and dad who live in VA and boy did they elect a good one. Watch👇 as he asks Michael Glasheen if the FBI still designates the Proud Boys as an extremist organization. Glasheen nervous as hell, refuses to answer. Bravo Congressman!!

They hate on our Black queens because they can’t handle their greatness.

The Trump regime is trying to normalize misogyny. Unfortunately, it’s too many people in this country that don’t have the balls to stand up against him. This pattern of abuse is only going to get worse folks! What is it going to take⁉️

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Home Depot wanted holiday cheer, got a whole-ass choir calling out their partnership with ICE instead…

Are you a business that's colluding with ICE? Caving to the biased attacks on DEI? Funding this administration for tax cuts? Guess what? #WeAintBuyingIt Nov 27–Dec 1, instead we are putting our money where are values are‼️

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
