A while back, our Good Trouble assignment on the @dailybeanspod.com was to flood the National Parks feedback inbox. It worked. Keep causing #GoodTrouble www.sfgate.com/national-par...

The subject of Palestine is a complicated one, a genocide that is being used as a justification for repression both at home and abroad. Here are two of my favorite artists writing on the subject, Seth Watkins and Daniel Kahn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVxi... www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRrk...

And for the 28th day, we have Ban This Song by Moon Walker. A rocking tour through both the evil and the pointlessness of the constant attacks on free speech from the right. youtu.be/IYrL_B2DbiU?...

I've posted a lot about female rage in the Month of Protest Music so far. Young men haven't been having a great time either, though. The economic stagnation combined with the toxic expectations placed on them to make a situation that is literally killing them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTtu...

So, I know the democratic leadership is getting a lot of shit (including from me). Let's not pretend, however, that there aren't some amazing people within that party. 26th in the Month of Protest Music is made from their words. Warning for flashing lights. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAfm...

And here's a tribute to the people who came before us, mixed with a recommitment to the fight ahead. All to a rocking dance tune. 25th in the Month of Protest Music is Matt Fishel's LGBTQIA. youtu.be/KQq9f5hNOxE?...

There was a little incident a while ago, which, while I don't condone violence, certainly produced some good songs. Here's 24th in the Month of Protest Music. youtu.be/MqIJUnPcSgw?...

TOMORROW: We’re joining elected officials, @moveon.org, @winwithoutwar.bsky.social, @workingfamilies.org, and more grassroots organizations & activists to plan a massive, unified push to stop the war in Iran. RSVP for the Healthcare Not Warfare rapid response call to discuss how you can take action.

#DontRankCuomo

Don’t get distracted. Waging foreign wars is in the authoritarian playbook. Denunciation is a must. But remember the hardening of oligarchy, the ICE brutality and the abdication of congressional power. Focus on what you can control. Feeling helpless? When in doubt, opt out.

23rd in the Month of Protest Music we have Lilith Max with a powerful song about the dangers faced by women. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eykJ...

California!! Important info on our friends at ice. #unite #resist #liberty #abolishice #nokings #LosAngeles #California #SanDiego

400,000 letters is a lot. Keep going. Share with friends. Channel your inner Lorax 🌲 🧡

I have no words this morning, only rage. Here's H.E.R. with a song written for the BLM movement that somehow hits the bullseye today. youtu.be/E-1Bf_XWaPE?...

To every member of Congress tonight: We don’t need 200+ words. We need 3 sentences. 1. Trump’s strike on Iran was unauthorized & unconstitutional 2. Congress must reassert its war powers—immediately 3. I support the War Powers Resolutions in the House and Senate No war with Iran. Full stop.

Pay attention! @rhutabhayga.bsky.social is right!! Keep up your calls to end the shitty #OBBB

We’re going to leave this here and pin it for reference.

The songs have been coming fast and furious lately. I might need to extend the Month of Protest Music. There are at least six more songs than there were before the 14th. Here's another by Seth Watkins that dropped yesterday. youtu.be/GVnO1uTFMSk?...

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 97 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

And sometimes you just want to rage. 20th in the Month of Protest Music is David Rovicks telling like he sees it. youtu.be/0H2VBznllyw?...

Have $274 and wanna save our National Parks? Here's how!

RAPID ACTION ALERT!! This Friday, June 20 at 10 am, at the ICE field office at 64 Gricebrook Road in St. Albans. Stand in solidarity with Wuendy, a Migrant Justice member who has been called in for an ICE immigration check-in. More info: www.instagram.com/p/DLCyyfQOXdC/

And for all you witches out there, 19th in the Month of Protest Music is Kiki Rockwell with a song about the cyclical nature of history. And what happens when you try to push women down. youtu.be/fMtnktpF_t0?...

Is THIS worthy of your call to say NO to this Bill? Call yours and any legislators on 202-224-3121

And 18th in the month of protest music, we have Daniel Kahn's brutal examination of the complications of capitalism, set to an upbeat Klezmer tune. youtu.be/B7EgQXMV8nM?...

🇺🇸🫡 "We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant, or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We take an oath to the Constitution. We are willing to die to protect it!" - GEN. MARK A. MILLEY🇺🇸 #SheShed

And, in honor of this weekend, here's MARCH by the Chicks. There are more struggles ahead, but, on this 17th day of protest music, let's ride high another moment. youtu.be/xwBjF_VVFvE?...

I'm attending No Kings's event, “One Million Rising: One Million Trained, Millions More Empowered” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Alexa Carrasco was peacefully protesting and ran over by a car in Riverside, CA on No Kings Day. She is believed to be in critical condition. If you’re willing & able, please consider donating to help with medical bills. Our hearts are with Alexa & her family. gofundme.com/f/alexa-carr...

👀 Explains why there is a push to re-criminalize marijuana, as well, cheap labor from prisoner pipeline.

And here's a message from Laura Bundy rolling in for the 16th of the Month of Protest Music. She'd like y'all to stop wasting Jesus's time. youtu.be/4pcMJ7_T3rY?...

And 15th in the month of protest music we have one of a series of penguin protest tunes. I was going to post something about yesterday, but nothing seems weighty enough. So you get penguins. youtu.be/HJ8qGOe2K0o?...

Sure looks pretty, doesn’t it?! 👇 We. Will. Not. Lose. Our. Democracy. 😎🇺🇸✨
