All along the watchtower--turns out we sentinels were asleep, now we're fighting inside the walls. I'm a paddler, grant writer, old rocker, recovering lyricist, activist when I gotta be. Roots down South but live "at the North." Keep fighting, friends

If I got to ask for a spirit animal it would be an osprey. Our country's in dark times, but I'm holding on to good things at hand. A peaceful 4th of July to all.

US Senator thrown to ground, handcuffed, for asking a question. Be careful at your NO KINGS demos Saturday. But go!

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.”

737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class.

Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.

On 4 May 1961, the Freedom Riders left Washington, D.C., in two buses and headed to New Orleans.

They faced violence, resistance, and arrests.

This interracial group aimed to challenge segregation in interstate bus travel and public facilities. 💙

Find your local demo tomorrow, they're nationwide again.

Herring run has finally surged ahead after stalling from unseasonable cold. Today's scrum below the Quashnet fish ladder of 60+(plus a lower scrum in 2nd pic) is encouraging, but a shadow of the old days when 10s of thousands choked these streams.

Kathleen Edwards rocking out on a lovely old Gibson at the Narrows Center in Fall River, a fantastic community-run venue. These old coast towns down to Providence have a lot going on. Night started with some of the Portugese food that adds to the area's Brazilian/Azorean/Cap Verdean flavor.

HANDS OFF Rally, Rt 28 Rotary, Hyannis MA. 2K+ people easy. Me with Irene's kidnapping sign, and so many other folks. Got some fingers from Tяumpists navigating the rotary. Good trouble. It's being felt.

I'm looking forward to getting out on the bay! Too bad oyster season ended Monday, they're just laying on top of the mud where town last stocked them by the Mashpee Neck dock.

Herring in the house! Logged my first digit this year as a volunteer fish-counter monitoring this key local species. One go-getter broke loose from this scrum below the ladder and made the leap from Quashnet River into John's Pond. It's on.

PLEASE READ:

POTUS "did not rule out the possibility of seeking a third term...saying...there were methods for doing so and clarifying that he was 'not joking.'" – NBC News

So he told us, folks, on Meet the Press, March 30, 2025. Are we going to prevent it, or roll over for it?

She was kidnapped for "creating a ruckus." In your country. Time for a much, much bigger ruckus.

Audio version from NY Times Audio— (narrated by a human):

“Ordinary Germans” not that long ago.

"Nazi perpetrators and leaders were not freaks, but they had been brought up in a culture of rancid, self-pitying national paranoia … almost all the prominent Nazis came from middle-class families with right-wing values—“

Ordinary Germans | Neal Ascherson
We know who the Nazis were and what they did. In Hitler's People, the distinguished historian Richard J. Evans seeks to explain what what made them capable of doing it.
