Be splendid tonight, be focused, have fun, make theater: That's our way of repudiating the bullies, the killjoys, the busybodies and blowhards. We know the secret of making art, while they only know the minor secret of making mischief. We proceed from joy; they only have their misery. Tony Kushner

A quote from a NYTimes article that sums up our present situation: “I think there’s cultural conflict here: It’s between people who think you should work things out with your neighbors and follow the rules, and people who think they’re so powerful and so cool, they can just do whatever they want,”

Tomorrow there are demonstrations in both DC and Baltimore. I was fully planning to go, but have been in bed sick for the last week, and probably won’t be mobile tomorrow. Anybody who wasn’t planning on it, if you could go in my place, it would mean a lot to me.

How about we start referring to Trump and his pals as THE BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB. Insulting and infantilizing all at once! Let them try to take ownership of that!

honestly think some of the hesitation here is that no one wants to sound like a crank. i was talking at an event last night and even i felt like a crank while i was speaking!
What if there were a coup, the US government fell to a drug-addled oligarch who seized control of our money, secrets, and levers of power, and Corporate media did not report on it?

My only comment on the first week of the new order: what we need now is someone’s Auntie Mame buy the property next to Mar a Lago to open a home for orphaned Black, Latin, and Jewish children.

Bowie at the BBC, with DC bassist Meshelle N’dege Ocello. Starting the song quietly, ramping up at the guitar solo, then ending as the punk anthem it should be. A lovely call to arms at the end of a horrible week. youtu.be/bsYp9q3QNaQ?...
