If you want to write a book, make a film, paint, make music, or make any kind of art, just do it. Don’t worry about the what ifs or the doubts or the obstacles or the fears. Just write the book. Write the song. Make the movie. Make art. Have fun.

Here's a full transcript and video of Bruce Springsteen's remarks about Trump in Manchester, UK tonight:

Preach it, Bruce!!

A birthday gift of apples - specifically Black River Orchard by @chuckwendig.bsky.social - a creepy and beautiful read. You may want an apple while reading. Or not ...

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

SCHUMER: Would the senator yield for a question? BOOKER: Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you no SCHUMER: I just want to tell you, do you know you have just broken the record? Do you know how proud America is of you?

Cory Booker just passed the 24 hour mark. He's been speaking for a full day straight. 20 more minutes to break Strom Thurmond's record.

The most corrupt administration in American history.

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

ProPublica has released another study related to the effects of abortion bans in the U.S., this time showing a spike in sepsis cases in Texas following the implementation of that state's "heartbeat" abortion ban in 2021.

OMFG! 🔥🔥🔥🔥Rep. Jasmine Crockett: "We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

Freezing all federal assistance is unconstitutional, it’s that simple. Now more than ever Democrats need to make their voices heard—we cannot sit idly by while Trump takes away funding for millions of critical programs.

New York AG Letitia James says she'll take legal action against the Trump admin for freezing federal aid. "My office will be taking imminent legal action against this administration's unconstitutional pause on federal funding." "We won't sit idly by while this administration harms our families."

So much breaking news! We have thoughts!! Be sure to watch our streaming show “The Stakes” live on YouTube at 730pm. 👇🏼👇🏼

I'm seeing posts saying the Resistance didn't work last time so we shouldn't do it now. WRONG. Resist at every turn. The man is a criminal and a liar, who makes policy that punishes people who disagree with him. Do not capitulate beyond obeying the law.

Glad to be here and escaping the social media cesspool!
