Music eases the soul. It can move you from a place where you don’t want to be to a better place. It may remind you of pleasures from the past or something you felt in your youth.
We've had generations of prosperity, & that came with the idea that presidents can make changes, but nothing that can't be fixed. Laziness that comes with everything always having been okay before. As a result, half the nation doesn't see how dangerous this is, & some who do have already surrendered
We are WAAAAAYYYYYY beyond any damage Reagan and Bush did with this regime. Neither of them tried to dismantle the government and turn our allies into enemies.
They kept playing because music helps to sooth hysteria. Hysteria is deadly in a situation like that. Many lifeboats were launched nearly empty because people were hysterical.
Right now, music helps us know that time is passing and we aren’t trapped in Hell just yet
Yes, take to the streets.
We can secede too.
If the blue states act together they can crush Trump, they can crush the Republican Party forever. Blue states are 80% of the US economy.
Or rather - they can't play a tune to save their lives, and the conductor keeps talking about being 'aroused' whilst we're expected to sit there and watch the world slide into fascism.
Well technically he didn’t, as it hadn’t been invented yet, so guess I need to get busy creating an entirely new instrument and then I can be in the history books strumming sumpin for a good story.
It's a very old tradition, cf. the idiom "fiddling while rome burns" (apocryphal story of the Emperor Nero playing the violin as Rome was being destroyed).
There was nothing better for them to do. Here it's not always the case. I just had my first piano practise of the day. I could have done more activist things, but at 74 I don't have a lot of energy.
I have a good idea about community gardens & orgainising them, but it's cold out there & snowing.
join an org like indivisible. their approach may not align with your ideals entirely and that’s fine, but it’s given me something to do and others to do it with. our one group has grown from 5 members to over 60 in just 2 weeks. it’s not much, but it’s a start.
and there are hundreds of groups across the country. they’re out there. i’m trying to find things that keep me going, and knowing there are others out there who do care about this is not nothing.
Me too. So many of my friends are carrying on like everything is normal. They have said, “I have to tune out. “ I have to remind them that’s what they want us to do. They would be livid if they were paying attention!
I've lost two liberal friends (so far) by telling them trans people don't have the privilege of tuning out. people of color aren't able to tune out. disabled people aren't able to tune out.
Fortunately for me, fighting NAZIs fuels me, like mana to my soul. There have always be seekers of unreasonable power, never lose the thrill in stopping them! There were millions murdered in NAZI Germany who may have went not knowing Hitler would be defeated, but we know now. ALWAYS keep the faith!
That’s happened to some of my messages and I couldn’t figure out why- I must have missed an alert, etc! If you select your message (…) as if you’re going to delete it, you can select and copy its text; then delete your message and resend it. Or, just ignore and know that you’re not alone!
I was thinking about that today. Hitler took control, and the general population wasn’t really aware, as they had limited sources of information. We cannot claim that same excuse. We have constant access to unlimited information. If we do nothing and play ostrich, it’s our own fault.
There is a line in the Mountain Goat's song Cry For Judas that speaks to this idea for me. "I'm still here but all is lost". Sometimes you have people that are ready to stand by you when all hope is gone. Hang on to those people.
Eggs were $0.05 higher than maga wanted to pay.
Now eggs are $0.75 higher but the hate they voted for is priceless so you won’t see anything about that.
Hello 🤗
Greetings 👋
How are you doing there today?
I believe you must have heard about me Ji Chang Wook, actor, musician, model and Philanthropist from Seoul South Korean...
My husband has been talking about this a lot. We are trying to plan for our future and he keeps saying, "We're just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic."
One report said that there was a race to get to NY in a certain time which is y the Captain ignored the 🧊 iceberg warnings. Given the current attitude of elected leaders I wonder if those souls were just collateral damage 🛟🚪
I think it's super important to both stay engaged and fight this as actively as possible - in the streets, on the phones, in senator offices & at the polls - as it is to try and live normally and plan.
My PTSD therapist told me having plans is important because it keeps you fighting for the future.
That's not a great mindset. It's defeatist and a bit nonsensical. Hope for both yalls sake he does start thinking about yalls future. We're going to survive.
I think you might be misunderstanding; we are actively planning for our future together, and my husband is sharing what it feels like to be doing so during such dark times on a rapidly heating planet. I agree with him.
Playing music is the only thing helping me get through this. But we have started playing protest songs from the past, including “for what it’s worth“ and “get together.”
He Dance’d on stage 2020
And called people together in a exstrem deadly worldvide airborn corona virus .
Why are people surpriced ?
And he called people to travel we saw the Daily dead Numbers from CNN live .
Trump laughed . If covid was a war , Trump was a WARCRIMINAL. It was genocide for power .
because it was inevitable. The sinking of America is not. Its just been attacked by rapacious, tribal, hunter gathering echos from our most primitive past. The dream of an integrated diverse culture is incomprehensible to them
Hard to judge them when we’re all doing the same, posting, debating, memeing…while the ice cracks beneath us. Maybe it’s not about denial but defiance, a last act of meaning in the face of inevitability. Or maybe we just really, really need the distraction.
I've always thought it was partly them playing to comfort other passengers, but at least in part, they knew they weren't getting out of there, so if they had to die, they could at least die doing what they loved.
If you're gonna die....die with your boots on....if you're gonna try...stick around. Gonna cry? Just move along if you're gonna die....you're gonna die!
That or it was their version of noise cancelling headphones and soothing tones to block out realistic trauma of the real.
1. You've assembled a large orchestra...here's your 1st Violin - "That's how I feel at work right now" - fiddling away at work while the bow goes under, here's the Brass "Nobody realises what is happening" so loud they can't hear the sirens, finally
the drunken drummer "to keep people calm as they sink and drown" who thinks they're saying something smart. When can the Wotrld expect to see mass protests in the USA? stupid question really you're all so compliant you'll march into the camps waving MAGA flags
So, who's the Captain that goes down with the Titanic? Elon & Trump would suddenly embrace being trans & dress as elderly old ladies. Pushing others out of their way as they both make their way & take the first lifeboat out. Selfish little cowards that they are,sitting whilst other women are rowing.
I really hope that Americans start doing more than angry posts online. They are very determined to take over your country. The opposition seems paralyzed.
I do what I can- calling my state reps to do something, anything; building a suburban homestead to stave off food insecurity of family and friends and stick it to grocery inflation. The angry posts are just a release from the stress one’s under. It’s healthy to get it out.

They, I'm sure
took their purpose on the Titanic seriously
as did the Captain and the crew.
Professionally and bravely they played for the
last time
for the frightened passengers
Though they were frightened themselves

The law is not holding. The constitution is not holding. The federal government has been neutralized.
The blue states have to act together because they have the power to stop this if they act together.

We can secede too.
If the blue states act together they can crush Trump, they can crush the Republican Party forever. Blue states are 80% of the US economy.
Confederates didn't change their minds; they only lost the war.
Supermajority position in SCOTUS suggests they're winning it now.
Lines won't be so clearly drawn this time around though. Scary stuff
We are matched against fools. We simply cannot afford to be more foolish than they.
They gave hope to others.
Being not selfish is what heroes do and almost every Medal of Honor recipient agrees.
I have a good idea about community gardens & orgainising them, but it's cold out there & snowing.
Apparently they were worried that if they stopped, they wouldn't get paid. The gig economy has always been brutal.

Don't take an hour to toot your own horn politicians. We are outraged also.
They are still breaking the law.

I'm fighting because I want to go on a date with him, to hold him, to tell him he means everything to me in person.
