A repost of a classic in honor of the 61% of North Carolinians who should be ashamed of themselves.
31 Republican men voted against the Violence Against Women Act in the Senate today. All 5 Republican women voted for it.
Surprise.
There’s something about this song and the female covers of it. Nina Simone and Cat Power both bring out its full potential. The tension in this version is perfect and just what I needed today.

I physically watched as thousands of tons of coal were transported via train from recently mined mountain tops of West Virginia. This is not a sustainable source of energy, people are dying that live near the mountains and they’re polluting all water sources which is killing off any natural habitat on or near these mountains - to say the least.
These companies have the money, now hold them accountable.
Let’s get the internet off coal
Giant data centres which store and send the terabytes of pictures, emails, songs and streaming videos we enjoy every day are now one of the fastest growing sources of new electricity demand in the world. Every day, tons of asthma-inducing, climate destroying coal pollution is thrown in the air to keep the Internet humming.
But there’s hope! The tech industry is led by a few very large companies who can choose to quit the coal habit. Thanks to you, Facebook already has. So we’re kicking off a campaign to see Microsoft, Amazon, and Apple — three of the largest owners of data centres in the world — make the switch. You can help us get their attention by being one of 100,000 people to write a message in the next 48 hours.
Send a quick note to the CEOs of Microsoft, Amazon and Apple, asking them to clean up the cloud.
