Our 1st job is to be a *servant* leader. This section is difficult, keeping it together. Here you see me trying to be musical...but closely LISTENING and keeping strict time so that everyone feels safe and able to play their best. It’s not abt me

it isn't really true that they don't recognize it; they do—it just get reorganized and mystified because they derive pleasure from it and can't really make sense of why.

This should be the largest story in the news. It should be everywhere in the media. Kushner should wind up in prison because of it. But you won’t hear about it and nothing will happen to him.

You can tell a lot about a people by observing how their leaders appeal to them to win their votes. Israelis will vote tomorrow in what has been described as Israel's "most racist election" because candidates across the political spectrum are appealing to an electorate that looks and sounds like this. This is Israel.

“Flávio has given up,” an adviser to the Bolsonaro family told me. “He’s terrified. He is worried his father will die in jail, that he himself will be jailed this week and that he may have a long prison term ahead.”

It’s disappointing to have to say this, but @CBSNews, this is a serious failure of editorial reporting. I clearly state in this clip that while I have not personally been to Cuba, I have spoken with Cubans who have described it as a dictatorship, and I believe them. To claim I declined to answer the question is categorically false. That is not journalism. It is misinformation.

"comparing" antiblackness (and by proxy racism) to other systems of oppression merely obfuscates the former, but people interpret this observation as meaning that you can't discuss them together. you can—you just analyze their relationality instead.

NEW: Angie Nixon is running for Senate on a huge bet: Medicare for All can win over Trump voters in Florida.
To put that theory to the test, we brought Nixon to one of the unhealthiest counties in Florida — where 1 in 5 lives in poverty, thousands are uninsured, and doctors are few and far between.
That’s why Michael called her a jealous attention seeker who can’t sing
Madonna explains the real reason legends like Michael Jackson, Prince, and Jean-Michel Basquiat burned out.
“When you channel artistic ideas and you have creative visions, it’s magic. And when you overthink it or you start thinking about how much of that you own, you stop it. A lot of people have these meteoric careers and they rise up and take the world by storm… and then something happens and they can’t handle the light. In a way, they fly too close to the light and it burns them.
I would say that’s really true about many of my peers… whether that’s Prince or Michael Jackson or Jean-Michel Basquiat. These are people who were channeling, but I don’t think they understood that there has to be some kind of restriction. People like to take drugs because they’re actually channeling light… but it’s light with no restriction. And then that’s what kills you or burns you out.”
Oh no….😟

Benjamin Netanyahu’s government is ever more open about its plans to annex parts of Gaza and southern Lebanon.
Ahead of Tuesday’s election, opposition leaders have shied away from criticizing the idea: jacobin.com/2026/10/israel-n…
