No you were not wrong to stand with Zelensky & #Ukraine, always chose good over evil whenever the choice arises.

Yes sadly under Trump USA has become a duplicitous, backstabbing entity that has lost all claim to be the home of the brave & land of the free.

Don't elect KGB compromised morons.

The great Marvin Gaye showed you can combine art and activism, at the highest level, without compromising either. So glad to see you continuing in this tradition.

Thank you Mr. Taylor . We’ve still “Got A Friend.” 🙏

We must stand with our truth and not be swayed by bullies or fear. Thank you for continuing to be the good man, singer and songwriter that I have loved for 50 years.

Thank you. As the saying goes, all that is required for the triumph of evil is for good men to say nothing. It may not be literally all that's required, but speaking out against great wrongs is an important part of stewardship of our democracy & 1st amendment freedom to dissent, lest we lose both

As you would expect, wonderfully articulate 👏👏

You’re a citizen like the rest of us. You have every right to speak on these issues. Don’t stop.

Beautiful, James. Well said.

Thank you for stepping up and sharing your truth. As a Canadian with threats being hurled our way by a trusted neighbour I better understand Ukraine’s situation. We too see the dagger coming at us from the power of a few in a country of many. We all have to step up and speak out.

jcolbya.bsky.social•11 minutes ago

Well said.

It's what I'm looking for. You have a big voice. Use it.

dooleyappointed.bsky.social•2 hours ago

It can't last. In modern parlance, it's just not sustainable. The only question is, how long will this go on, and how many people will be hurt along the way?

deborahdeb.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Thank you for not being silent.. this is far too important.

Much respect.

singalongmusic.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Thank you for speaking out. It's important now, more than ever, that those with a platform do not hesitate to use it to remind the world of what and who we should be.

Had a convo today with a fairly apolitical friend. Now is not the time to be silent. We must all raise our voices to restore our democracy and oppose tyranny. Thank you for choosing to join us.

you said it best years ago…

Don’t ever hesitate, James. What you bring to the table are common sense talking points to add to a conversation. A conversation, which on this site, is respectful, respected and civil. It’s your right and readers can either take it in or scroll down. I choose to read and say ✅
