This is pretty great news. Also, a time to say again: @DevilsMusicHoly Rollers and Hillbillies is not only an acclaimed book on the story of rock's birth but also one that fully captures Tharpe's proper place in that story. rollingstone.com/music/music…

Laura Ingraham: You’re tougher with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries. Why?
Trump: “Only because it’s meant to be our 51st state…One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada”
Go ahead, MAGA—try to defend this.

The Tate issue is actually THE conservative litmus test of our time.
If you have called teachers groomers for giving teens sexually inappropriate books but won’t call Andrew Tate a groomer for beating, sexually assaulting, and trafficking a teen, you’re an utter fraud.

BREAKING: In a stunning admission, Donald Trump admits that he both failed to build the wall and failed to get Mexico to pay for it. Donald Trump is a con man and it’s time the American people know it. Retweet so all Americans see this devastating video.
White guys fearing being made irrelevant, and then lashing out at scapegoats instead of real problems. See the roots of it in the "Disco Demolition" era: t.ly/OdP8g

With its deft layering of words, its historical samples, and how it articulates sound, reading Questlove’s Hip-Hop Is History is like listening to De La Soul’s excellent album 3 Feet High and Rising. – @DevilsMusicHoly
