Opera in a midwestern city is a lot different from The Metropolitan Opera.

It's a good sign in any moderately sized city to have an opera company. The Art Form is about community, where people from ALL walks of life and trades come together to put on a masterpiece show that speaks to TODAY.

Some guy I know tried to dis a friend of mine who complained about Trump using hunger as a cudgel. He's like, 'I donated half a cow!'

To those who do this ...
Thank You. I think that is badass.
...Annnd this is the definition of Virtue Signaling.

... Policy feeds people. Not tax write-offs.

Thank you Julie J 😊🫶

Thank YOU for putting it all on the table. We know you put all your chips in. Please rest that voice of yours, kind sir.

Hot water, Honey and lemon.

No caffeinated stuff. Few days will get you. If you can take it easy on the talking just for a bit. You'll be fine.

God bless you & our Country!

A Little Music of the Night A memory in fire

I feel these times are a little music of the night. But maybe WE flip the script.

Both a bitter and hopeful pill. 💊

Across the street from Paulie's Penguin parade.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Thank you, Stephen.

Ok bye ✌️

Show no. Dos coming up tonight.

It's not a laughing matter. I celebrate the effectiveness of this work THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE.

We have so much great work to do yet, friends. Art can rebut autocracy.

Thanks for asking. Yes. Anthony Parnther conducts. I'm not in it but I hear it's a great recording. Release in early winter. 2025.

The State of Democracy Requires Us to Expand the Map From Marc | Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control.

Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control. They are banking on us not having the resources or the will to fight for voting rights. They want us to be resigned and demoralized while their voter suppression machine grinds on.

The question also is this guy has the record for saying and not doing. I wonder if he will even retire!

I'm with you. Gotta lot of irons in the fire that need servicing. But I take vacation (hours)! ;)

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

Taking off for Dayton! A quick Aïda (first one)!

The richest man in the world is Very into free speech

I'm not there yet. The more I see is the better opportunity to take great ideas and not have to raise a million and have the little profit it makes go to the investors.

Mom and pop SAAS? I'm down. It's all about the mind and the idea.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.

What in the holy hell! Your cars are falling apart. How about fix those first and then get an actual appointment to a position BY congress.

And Absolutely No One Should Be Surprised!
Apparently the Russian leadership is laughing at the current president.

I hear some people say, “democrats aren’t protecting us from fascism.” That’s weird, because Kamala Harris worked for 107 straight days, running on the most anti-fascist campaign I’ve ever seen. The DNC had 200 speakers warning us of this. Then 90 million eligible voters sat this election out. It sounds to me like those who didn’t vote for her are responsible for not protecting us from fascism. - Melissa Nadia Viviana.

This fascist story began 3 elections ago, but we clearly haven’t learned from it.

At some point, voters are going to have to acknowledge that by blaming Democrats they empowered fascism.

Things aren’t going to change until we see it.

Demonizing the people trying to help only assists your enemy.
