That said, I’m driving to Memphis this afternoon to return my Model Y two years early because fuck

This was at Blackheath Common before the race. I was sent by Rolling Stone (one of only two or three jobs they ever gave me). Drove over from my house in Clapham. Parked. Got out in the rain. 30,000 people. And there was Joe. Brilliant.

Remembering the one & only Joe Strummer today, on what would have been his 71st birthday. Gone for 21 years, but his music, his uncompromising political beliefs & his humanity are thankfully still with us, influencing us every single day. We love you & miss you so much, Joe 🎸🏃🏾
How many of us have Trump nightmares disrupting our sleep? I do, but although it leaves me tired, it motivates me to action to change America. What about you?
On MSNBC just a minute ago: Corsi came to 30 Rock for an interview and then didn’t get out of the car because his lawyer received a call from the Special Counsel’s office. Lawyer said “shut it down”.
Is Jerome about to be indicted? Of Corsi is.

Here you go mate! Yeah, Lanchester Poly (the Lanch) Oct 14 1980. The Doors meets Apocalypse Now.
And yeah I’ll be at the Joy Theatre here in New Orleans on May 11. Would love a photo pass though (& a photo session!).
Love you! ❤️🎸❤️🎸.

But Presidential intent can’t be considered and the presumption is that acts are official.
Please don’t sugar coat this. It’s absolutely destructive to the republic as we have known it.
The President is now a King and our collective hair should be on fire.

Fuck you with this stupid insulting bullshit. My mum survived Auschwitz and her dad was murdered by the Nazis in front of her. If you don’t oppose these fascist policies - authored by Stephen fucking Miller - you are no better than the collaborators who enabled the Third Reich.
Wishing a wonderful happy 66th birthday to one of the most important men in the history of rock music:

only one who can make it happen, not doing it will actually depress base turnout next year, she swore an oath which doesn’t depend on public support or assent, etc - all falling on deaf ears. They kept talking about these other hearings and investigations and court battles but ..

“Do not be seduced by easy equalization. There is nothing equal about the equation. We are at an existential crossroad of our political and civil lives. This is a choice that could not be clearer.”
An honor to meet this gentle man earlier this year at NoLa’s Preservation Hall.
We knew, didn’t we Christine? Why was it so hard for so many to see? Why was the media so slow to accept this? Why wouldn’t our elected representatives treat this as the existential threat that it so clearly was?
Trump began his campaign in 2015 with a racist rant and is ending it with a shameless baseless legal strategy to nullify the black and brown communities he’s been vilifying for years.
#TransitionNow
I say this to the President, and his defenders in Congress:
You may think it’s okay how Trump and his associates interacted with Russians during the campaign.
I don’t.
I think it’s immoral. I think it’s unethical. I think it’s unpatriotic. And yes, I think it’s corrupt.
