July 14, 1912. Woody Guthrie was born in Okemah, Oklahoma, and grew up to write what many people consider the real anthem of the United States.

Guthrie came of age in the Dust Bowl, riding the rails and living among migrant workers, poor farmers, and everyday people getting crushed by the Great Depression. He turned what he saw into hundreds of plain spoken songs about ordinary Americans.

His most famous one is This Land Is Your Land. People often think of it as a sweet patriotic sing along, but Guthrie actually wrote it as a pointed response to God Bless America, with sharper verses about inequality and private property that get left out of the school version.

He scrawled the words This Machine Kills Fascists right on his guitar, and he went on to inspire basically everyone who came after him, from Bob Dylan on down. A poor kid from Oklahoma became the conscience of American folk music, and it started on this day.

Maybe—and stick with me here, Marco—the fact that the United States has had a near-total embargo on Cuba since before the Beatles’ first album might have something to do with its struggling economy?

I used to cover food and agriculture on Wall Street and I predicated this almost 10 years ago. Precise targeting of weeds and pests — making the use of chemicals unnecessary. Incredible to see it becoming reality.

You'd think white dudes who do nothing but watch WW2 documentaries would recognize fascism more when they see it.

The 2020s have been a lot more Minneapolis-centric than you'd expect.
