"Savages" is out now...

This one’s been sitting with me for a while—raw, restless, and itching to be heard.

Here's a sneak peek from the upcoming video.

Listen wherever you get your music. nfan.link/savages

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Never have I been more humiliated to be an American. Which is saying something, given this isn't Trump's first term in office.
I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

And the guy is not a cabinet member, just the one leading the meeting…
MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting.

Funny how, as you get older, your birthday becomes a bit of a non-event. We spend so much time (& money) planning our five year old's birthday, but when mine sneaks up on me, all I want is to be left alone for a few hours 😅 @matthewmfuchs.bsky.social

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.
GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office.

ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

When I was 25 I was sad I had not written The Great American Novel. At 55, I realize there's no Great American Novel, there are merely the stories I'm the best person to tell. Don't worry about how others see greatness. Work on being the best version of who you are and what you can do in the world.
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

Been off of Instagram for two days, which sounds unimpressive but for me is quite unprecedented.

Small victories
