🚨 🚨 As you find yourself appalled, day after day, by what is happening, never let the far right convince you that you are somehow in the minority. Most Americans agree with you. They do not like what they’re seeing either. 1/

He nails it.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

The power of music. It is not contained by borders or language. It does not ask your age. It does not ask your politics, your race, your gender. It just asks you to listen and make of it whatever you so choose. youtu.be/ScFh0zNE0aE?...

The Pentagon is now pausing their mass firing of civilian employees in order to evaluate potential impacts on military readiness. I’m just spitballing here, but maybe a readiness assessment should have been the first step. 🤦‍♂️

From Dan Horan in @ncronline.bsky.social - 'Just days after Donald J. Trump was sworn in, I find myself continuing to reflect on the themes of self-care and resistance, especially what I called "spiritual resistance."' #Trump #resistance www.ncronline.org/opinion/ncr-...

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

Looking forward to seeing @trebeckt.bsky.social play “I Need That” at the Ensemble Theatre

Russia isn’t our friend. Bush tried. Obama tried. Trump tried during his first term. It’s an admirable goal, but it doesn’t work. No matter how much Trump capitulates to Putin, Russia won’t be our friend.

“Once, I swallowed my pride to offer him what he values the most—public praise on the Sunday news shows……Going along to get along does not work.” - Gov. JB Pritzker

Judge Blasts DOJ Lawyers After They Argue Transgender People Aren't Discriminated Against The Trump administration’s attempt to ban transgender people from military service is under fire in court. www.huffpost.com/entry/judge-...

Quite an exchange here between Judge Reyes and DOJ attorney on how "pronoun usage" affects military readiness.

Good News For Us, Horrible News For Trump As we head into another week of the Musk and Trump chaos, I wanted to share some more good news. Across America—and around the globe—folks are loudly speaking out against Trump, and pushing back against his tyranny. More here:

If you’re not confirmed by the Senate then you have no business meddling in the lives of MILLIONS of Americans We are suing DOGE for violating the constitution & illegally seizing power I’ll discuss tonight @ 8PM ET on @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com 👇 statedemocracydefenders.org/fund/new-law...

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

@satbshow.bsky.social Holy cow! McCartney did the triple guitar solo live with his band on #SNL50. Paul’s voice isn’t getting there anymore, but just wow!

#SNL50 Sabrina Carpenter response to Paul Simon when said he okayed Homeward Bound with George Harrison 1976. I wasn’t born yet, … and neither were my parents. Wow

Important thread. This resonates with me so much as I continue to struggle to find the words to fight the authoritarian state policing of professors in red Ohio’s SB1 higher ed bill that is maniacally “anti-woke” but pretends to be about “intellectual diversity” and free speech.

It’s one thing to have stayed up to watch @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social when you were 20 y/o. Fifty years later, it’s harder, but I’m going to make it.

I absolutely love this idea.
