FOLK MUSIC FRIDAYS!! “SAVE THE HAMMER FOR THE MAN” is a collaboration I wrote with brother Ben Harper off my Worldwide Rebel Songs album. It’s a song of woe and warning, a song of transcending tribulations via fighting fascism, and a song of soulful salute to the wretched and ‘unworthy’.

Sleepy who??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The craziest thing about this Santos story is TRUMP JUST ARRESTED A FUCKING JUDGE.

Because, of course, CUTTING WASTE & FRAUD.

So very F'd up🤬. Especially since one of their kids has autism, and consistency and routine is crucial for kids on the spectrum to thrive.

PLEASE don’t buy into Amazon’s booksale this week. They are intentionally trying to eat into profits from Indie Bookstore Day this weekend, a really important annual event for our important community institutions. Check out your local fave or bookshop.org.

Dear Resisters. It's working! Tesla Profits Plunge 71% and stock is down 34%. This is how we beat them. Read more: www.tealandorangereport.com/p/tesla-cras...

A colleague at Stanford’s business school used The Stanford Daily to argue—poorly—against DEI. The piece was riddled with historical errors and left one searching for fact, so I broke my public writing hiatus to respond. I hope you’ll read and share the piece. stanforddaily.com/2025/04/22/w...

Something to remind you It's a world worth saving

Trump and his administration have killed DEI alright: our Democracy, Economy, and Independence are gone for good.

This is awesome

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

🤣💀

📌UNDERSTAND: Now that we have learned Pete Hegseth shared classified information about imminent strikes in Yemen in another group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer, he should be arrested. 📌This was no one-off, this was treason.

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Very creative, San Francisco! 8647 ✊

BREAKING: New York State Attorney General Letitia James breaks her silence, responding to Trump's retaliation against her and hands him his ass. Letitia James is a fearless woman. Must-watch:

Old North Church in Boston last night on the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's ride.

If you think handing a low-income migrant a notice that says - in English - “You have the right to file a habeas petition in a Texas court prior to your scheduled removal” is being given the same due process Trump received in his criminal cases, I have a gulag to sell you.

"Fighters Wanted. Democrats, Please Apply." The time for complicity, cowardice, & civility is over. The Trump regime is only interested in power and domination. Democrats and institutions that refuse to adapt need to retire. Tick-Tock! open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Wow. Numbers say a lot sometimes.

Current times.

theres a lot in the bible about treating prisoners with compassion and humanity nothing about who you should be allowed to marry

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

Look if we’re ignoring Supreme Court rulings then every American woman has a right to an abortion again

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣yes💯

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.

Again… Impeach. Convict. Remove.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Absolutely

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

I’m grateful the Shapiro family is safe. It’s despicable for this to happen as the Jewish community is celebrating Passover. Political violence has no place in our country.
