Guitar slinger, irreverent dissident, critter lover, and all around hoopy food. Telecasters and tube amps with the occasional P-90 thrown in.

I have no expertise in government, but the piece of advice I give most to parents is “meh” - when you’ve got a toddler or a teen who’s trying to stir things up, the best thing you can do is be indifferent. Make sure they’re not hurting anyone and then just shrug. I think the USA did that today.
i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Yesterday we recut drums on two songs. Now the recording is completed. On to final mixes and mastering. 2 1/2 years in the making. Lots of outtakes. Pondering the idea of an album release party with the extended lineup; horns, piano, and harmonica.

As we showed the world on Saturday, we’re organizing everywhere — because that’s what it will take to rebuild the pro-democracy majority and reclaim its power.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!
Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.
This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

Fuckin love our postal service employees. Go Cleveland.
"the Postal Service can’t be viewed solely through the lens of a business model because it was founded on the principle of equitable service, where a letter can be sent and received anywhere in the United States for the same price."

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.
Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Everyone needs to call their representatives & senators to tell them why you oppose the SAVE Act.
@lwvohio.bsky.social, I just called my representative office @repshontelbrown.bsky.social & confirmed that the SAVE Act vote last week was delayed
Where can I find updated information on its status?

Fascists stop at nothing in carrying out their agenda. We let nothing stop us from defeating them.
Of course Trump is purposely tanking the stock market. Total economic collapse = national emergency = Trump declaring martial law. The question isn’t whether he is doing this or why, but who will stop him before it’s too late. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...
Trump Shares Video About How He Is 'Purposely Crashing the Stock Market'
