Thank for the comments about, Reverend Jackson and his history on politics, Mr. Trippi and Mr. Sashlo. Especially the poll numbers concerning , our current president. If you don’t like corporate media, please consider subscribing to Lincoln Square!
Thanks Joe and Alex. Particularly liked the discussion concerning Jesse Jackson. I knew who Jackson was but was not as focused on politics as I have become since 1985. I loved Jackson's "I am somebody" response poem. Yes, everybody is somebody--just need to look and see. Keep up the good work.
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It's not yours for you to erase or destroy.
WE The People Win At SCOTUS: Small Businesses Stand Up To Cheeto
Cheeto responded to the SCOTUS decision that threw out his tariff policy “I can do anything I want”
SCOTUS initially didn’t at first take the case that Chicago businessman Woldenberg brought against Cheeto and hoped that the issue would be dead But when the case by Woldenberg (joined by a NY winegrower Schwartz and 12 states) was presented to IEEPA even the full court ruled in favor of the plaintiff So the stage was set that SCOTUS was forced to hear the case after it was presented to them in April 2025 The stall technique worked with the immunity issue in 2024 but eventually the case and oral arguments had to be heard And SCOTUS had to Constitutionally validate that their favored Unitary Executive/dictator ie Cheeto doesn’t have the right to impose tariffs which are taxes on the American people Only Congress can tax the American people
So the Constitution has restrained this fascist dictator and WE the People have had a victory against the Nazi Republican regime with Cheeto at the helm declaring that power is his and he can do whatever he damn well pleases Notice it wasn’t corporate America who took on Cheeto
WE the People are winning and WE owe Woldenberg a tremendous debt of gratitude Just think One man changed a terrible government policy Become a political activist Join Indivisible and encourage your friends family neighbors It's up to WE the People to determine what country we want to live in Do WE want a moral, just, legally bound, lawful government?
We will feel him in the rain, in the wind, in the bite of snow, in the scent of autumn leaves, and in deep and penetrating silence. We might miss him terribly but will never be away from him. Jesse returns to joy. As we all will, one day.
He truly was an interesting and wonderful man. He made decent decisions and helped the poor and down trodden. He would have made a great President.

"Bored of Peace" is the apt title. When confronted with the truth, Trump will lash out and off to war we go. Excellent chat.

Joe--your mentor was my first cousin. My mom and his dad were siblings. Mickey and I were close.
My cousin, Mike Ford, worked for Jerry Brown.
Ifwe must die, let it not be like hogs
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot,
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs,
Making their mock at our accursèd lot.
If we must die, O let us nobly die,
So that our precious blood may not be shed
In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe!
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow!
What though before us lies the open grave?
Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!
History is not there for you to like or dislike. It is there for you to learn from it. And if it offends you, even better. Because then you are less likely to repeat it. It's not yours for you to erase or destroy.
