You are at a casual restaurant with high quality food. There is no table service. You order at the counter and pick up at a window. The bill comes to $85. What’s the appropriate option to choose on the tip screen?

Elon Musk, known "free-speech absolutist", doesn't seem to like free speech if it's about abortion. It's clear as day, Elon is using Twitter to push his far-right politics. We must fight back.

ALERT: Twitter blocked our launch video because "abortion advocacy" - the number one issue for women and the issue that this election will hinge on- is banned political speech in twitter promoted posts. #ncpol #abortionrights

Please retweet this ad immediately. Twitter has blocked her campaign from promoting this ad due to its support for abortion rights. This is the Democrat running for Lt. Governor of North Carolina. Help her promote it for free by hitting retweet.

I’m running for Lt. Governor because the Republican plan isn’t this year’s 12 week abortion ban; it’s next year’s total abortion ban. I'm North Carolina Senator Rachel Hunt. Let me explain... #ncpol

North Carolina's new abortion bans go into effect on July 1. This campaign will be loud and unapologetic in opposition to extremism. But I need your help to launch my campaign. Will you chip in? secure.actblue.com/donate/roedayo…

@HuntforNC Seems that @Twitter is trying to suppress this video. So much for free speech. Twitter Halts Promotion Of Campaign Video Due To ‘Abortion Advocacy’ huffpost.com/entry/rachel-h…

Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot.

This month in the US, people were shot for ringing the wrong doorbell, getting into the wrong car, using a leaf blower, delivering food to the wrong address, driving into the wrong driveway, and for asking a neighbor to stop shooting so a baby could sleep. It’s the fucking guns.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

Today is MY last day with ⁦@NPR⁩ after 41 years! I want to thank the most curious, attentive and loyal listeners a reporter could ever hope for and who traveled alongside me on a long, wild ride. Arrivederci!!!

Well, that’s certainly a statement.

.@JoeNBC: "This is a sickness. And it's not an American sickness…because 90% of Americans want to do something about this. This is a sickness among a small subset of Americans who have twisted and perverted the meaning of the Second Amendment in a way that's unrecognizable."

It’s not the drag queens. It’s not the pot, not the porn, not the trans kids, not the video games, it’s not the locks on the doors, and it sure as shit ain’t the books about Rosa Parks. You wanna PROTECT OUR KIDS? Then do something about the motherfucking guns.

Mass shooters don’t choose the AR-15 because it looks “cool.” They choose it, because they can kill upwards of 30 people before needing to reload. On Sept 28th, 1982, 12 year old Mary Kellerman was hospitalized after being poisoned by a killer who laced a bottle of Tylenol that was on a store shelf, with cyanide. She died the next morning. A day later, six more would die from poisoned Tylenol. By October 5th, Johnson & Johnson had issued a nationwide recall of 31 million bottles of Tylenol, and launched a massive advertising campaign to get people not to consume any of their products that contained acetaminophen (Tylenol) The 1982 event inspired a rapid and radical shift in how certain products were sent out, quickly prompting manufacturers to start using tamperproof packaging. Untold lives have been saved in the years since. The crisis management response by Johnson & Johnson is taught today as a model of corporate public relations and public safety. These fucking shootings should be SIMPLE to fix. We KNOW how to rapidly bring about a massive reduction in school shootings and the senseless deaths of children and staff. We KNOW how. It’s not happening, because organizations like the NRA spend millions upon millions of dollars to make sure GOP politicians do NOT allow those solutions to be implemented. The NRA rewards the GOP for allowing our children to continue being slaughtered. It’s NOT that we don’t know how to crush this. That, has never been the problem.

Was honored to narrate this documentary on legendary jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery for public TV. As a child of Indiana, it was wonderful to speak on Wes’ days in Indianapolis and his early career. Only wish my jazz loving dad was here to see. WATCH: loom.ly/uAUC01M

1. @Walgreens has delivered a major victory to the anti-aboriton movement, refusing to dispense abortion pills in 10 states WHERE ABORTION IS LEGAL. This is part of pattern of support for anti-abortion officials by @Walgreens, including significant financial contributions

Wow AOC doesn’t hold back here

Today in 1969, The Beatles performed their legendary rooftop concert on the roof of the Apple Corps building in London. They played for the city for 42 minutes before being stopped by the police. It was John, Paul, George, and Ringo’s final public performance as “The Beatles”.
