I always look forward to the creative and enlightening ways that Dr. Richardson frames current events in a historical context, especially her final sentences, which are often humorous and/or ironic.

I always look forward to the creative and enlightening ways that Dr. Richardson frames current events in a historical context, especially her final sentences, which are often humorous and/or ironic. My guess is that the Walz/Harris campaign went through proper channels to use the Neil Young song for their campaign, while Trump just claimed it without bothering to ask for permission. An apt metaphor for him personally and politically.
And likewise the DNC received permission to use the songs chosen to be played by the DJ during the roll call of states and territories on Tuesday evening.
That was the greatest roll call of the states at any convention ever. And I've seen a lot of them. Pure joy and enthusiasm from every state delegation. With a shout out to my NJ Governor Phil Murphy. You got a problem with that?
I doubt Neil Young even had the chance to say no until after the fact. Trump just takes and takes, including using campaign contributions for legal fees.
God help us. Just about everyone who is not a straight white Christian male should be running down to their town clerk's office or registrars and making sure they are all teed up to vote, in person or absentee. Here's an excerpt from your article:
In the book, Up from Conservatism, the authors advocate for the repeal of the Civil Rights Act, for politicians to conduct “deep investigations into what the gay lifestyle actually does to people”, that college and childcare be defunded and that rightwing governments “promote male-dominated industries” in order to discourage female participation in the workplace.
Vance’s endorsement of the book may raise further questions about his extremism, and that of his networks. The Guardian emailed Vance’s Senate staff and the Trump and Vance campaign with detailed questions about his appearance at the launch, but received no response.
Swift is a private person AND a brand. Worthy of a Dominion Voting Systems sized lawsuit at the very least, or I would think, some sort of legal action.

Another example of which party has the real claim to being law abiders
Robber Barons assert the right to take whatever they fancy. Sometimes, even other countries.

agree!
It's True. Young said "Yes" to the Harris Campaign. And he had said "No" to tfg's.
I doubt Neil Young even had the chance to say no until after the fact. Trump just takes and takes, including using campaign contributions for legal fees.
He'll be the gold standard of self-dealing and corruption against which other politicians are measured.
Pride before (I hope) a fall. The plutocrats now feel bold enough to say the quiet part out loud:

Or his Smaug cave.
Well, how very true! Well said.
Maureen, I’m waiting for Beyonce to sue the Trump campaign for using “Freedom” without permission.
And Celine Dion, and Taylor swift.
And that Trump reshared a fake Swift endorsement saying "I accept"
Swift is a private person AND a brand. Worthy of a Dominion Voting Systems sized lawsuit at the very least, or I would think, some sort of legal action.
It seems a whole lot easier for companies to stop defamation than individuals.
