Celebrating Easter & waking up to find out Pope Francis has died…very hard pill to swallow. Pope Francis modeled living like Jesus his whole papacy, whether the super trad sect wants to acknowledge it or not. May he rest in peace knowing he brought people from all walks of life closer to God.

I’m looking at you #NYU… The optimist in me wants to believe Harvard is taking a hardline stance because MORALS. The realist in me is thinking Harvard is looking over at Columbia and the continued self-inflicted obliteration of their reputation and thinking: “Let’s not do THAT.”

This is unconscionable. #Libraries are community resources that everyone should have access to. They provide a vast bevy of resources that is so much more than books. Communities having a safe and open place to gather is a good thing. Having access to information is a good thing.

For any non-US residing folks who believe Americans aren’t getting up and protesting… Please remember that the U.S. is VASTLY larger than most other countries — especially in the EU. People are uniting as best they can. Also, mainstream US news definitely isn’t acknowledging these efforts.

I would love it if the ideal word was always right there. I look at a thesaurus as the tool that helps me not only find a unique but similar word but more often, it’s about deciding on a word that conveys the correct…emotional temperature. And I’m always going to want to have that “a-ha!” moment.

If your state senator is on this list, CALL THEIR DC OFFICE ASAP. 🔥The DC Office Switchboard can connect you to any Senator: (202) 224-3121. 🔥 Tell them to VOTE NO on the Continuing Resolution and VOTE NO on Cloture. NO TO BOTH IS THE ONLY ANSWER. FULL STOP.

If you called your senators yesterday and told the “VOTE NO” on the Continuing Resolution and Cloture, CALL AGAIN TODAY. @schumer.senate.gov is full of it and gave us lip service. CALL YOUR SENATORS AND TELL THEM VOTING NO AND STOPPING THE GOP AND THIS BUDGET IS THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE ACTION.

If by “fight for you,” that means anything other than voting NO on the bill and voting NO on Cloture, then you are playing games and hoping no one notices. You and every other elected Dem better be loud, clear, and united in voting “NO.” THAT’S how you push back. Everything else is lip service.

Talking to you @schumer.senate.gov. I called your DC office and already left a very clear voicemail. THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING RATHER THAN GRUMBLE AND POSTURE. DO. YOUR. JOB. VOTE. NO.

To be clear: every Press Secretary spins narratives for their administration. This isn’t that. It’s a flat out lie. Leavitt knows it, every journalist in that room knows it, and any American citizen with a half-functioning brain should know it too.

When the message “Everyone is welcome here” is deemed a “personal opinion” because “not everyone believes that,” and so the statement is deemed a “violation of district policy,” there is a serious fundamental problem. youtu.be/Jv18DtVhLmk?...

Sony donating $7.5 million dollars to NYU to launch the Sony Audio Institute. This institute won’t be a physical building, nor a degree-based initiative. It’s a new partnership between Sony & Steinhardt that will be part of NYU’s Music Business program: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/a...

Everything about this. I’ve gotten to know some wonderful artists who have become great friends because I dove in to a band I knew nothing about. From there you can just start the cycle over and voilà — lots of music friends and championing lots of fantastic music!

With Yasmin Williams on tour and in NYC tonight, it feels appropriate to re-share her Artist of the Month Feature with The Bluegrass Situation. If she’s coming to a city near you, get to know her, her new LP “Acadia,”and get some tickets to a show! thebluegrasssituation.com/read/acadia-...

Very glad to see @wfuv.bsky.social make the leap. They’re building their community back up over here so if you enjoy WFUV, go give them a follow! …and if you don’t know the station, they’re listener supported and very worth getting to know. They champion independent artists and deep cut music! 🎶💥

HAPPENING NOW: Protests in 50 States. Keep calling out fascism. Keep pestering your reps. Call every day. Tell them how they need to ACT against this takeover of the US. Don’t let the corruption of the government be downplayed. It IS a takeover and it IS ILLEGAL.

We should NOT infantilize the six GROWN ADULTS that are helping Musk with his hostile takeover of the US Treasury. They are LEGAL ADULTS. To call them otherwise lessens the impact of their actions. Do not nurture the narrative that these are ignorant children.

Don't let up; call, call, call your reps. Leave messages. Tell them just how much we don't welcome a hostile takeover from an unhinged individual. It DOES make a difference. We need to push the ship ourselves but together a chorus of voices can rise from a whisper to an unceasing roar.
