Good!!! There's precisely TWO shows that should be playing at the Kennedy center until the end of this nonsense: Les Miserables and Suffs the Musical. Bonus if they can get a medley of "Do You Hear the People Song" and "Keep Marching" #LesMis #Suffs @suffsmusical.bsky.social

If so many people really are being paid to go to these town halls and protests, as the President claims, why aren't there a bunch of people being paid to counter them?

I've listened to AOC's Instagram Live from a couple weeks ago many, many times now, to give me the hope and drive I need in these times. Based on what she said, I have created this: The Three Principals for Our Resistance. @aoc.bsky.social

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy.

"The path may be twisted and risky and slow, but keep marching. Keep marching. Will you fail or prevail? Well you may never know, but keep marching.
