I don’t believe more warning signs are required…

of course people won’t need history when the machine god takes its rightful place as humanity’s ruler

Got to listen to the brilliant Nikole Hannah -Jones tonight at work. It's refreshing and necessary to hear truth and power in these dark times.

Tonight was the Nagash Ensemble at work. Absolutely amazing vocalists.

That is pretty. I love Spring.

Great.

This is going to get worse, not better. Never underestimate the American public’s thirst for performative cruelty towards The Other: defendants, foreigners, anyone they’ve been conditioned to see as less than human. We’re the country that made lynchings into picnics.

She is a disgusting person. They all are.

A little nature from my day. I love Robin's and their sassiness.

Really fun show at work last night, Yamato Drummers of Japan. It was a good night.

DHS official defends Mahmoud Khalil arrest, but offers few details on why it happened Homeland Security deputy secretary Troy Edgar offered few details on the Trump administration's legal reasoning to deport Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil.

this interview is incredible www.npr.org/2025/03/13/n...

This is true 👇

an executive order is not a law - not grounds for arresting an individual - much less for violating all existing laws to strip someone of their green card and disappear him as it seems happened here

Listening to The Prodigy's "The Fat of the Land". Reminiscing how I'd love to listen to this loudly while stuck in rush hour traffic on Van Ness in SF. Can't say it was appreciated by some of the button-ups around me. At the time, it felt like my own personal rebellion against the rat race.

Carl Dean, Dolly Parton’s Husband of Nearly 60 Years, Dies at 82 Mr. Dean was known to shy away from the spotlight as his wife rose to fame.

Carl Dean, an asphalt paver who met his future wife, Dolly Parton, outside a Nashville laundromat more than six decades ago and quietly championed her as she rose to superstardom, died on Monday. He was 82.

Anyone cheering for this aid suspension is celebrating an aggressor who destroyed a maternity hospital, a cancer ward, dozens of religious sites, a theater where civilians were sheltering, a dam.

They are celebrating rapes and torture.

They are celebrating entire families obliterated.

A black and yellow highlighted butterfly rests on a a cluster of pink plum flowers in a flowering plum tree. A bright blue sky is in the background.

A cluster of 3 pink plum tree flowers up close. Their stamen with the yellow anther is in sharp focus. Another cluster of plum flowers is behind them on the branch, but blurred.

The US continues to spiral downwards, but at least I can go outside and get some respite from nature. The plum trees are blooming and being spectacular.

Love the design on my mom's tea spoon.

“Maine may be one of the first states to undergo an investigation by his Administration, but we won’t be the last. Today, the President of the United States has targeted one particular group on one particular issue which Maine law has addressed. But you must ask yourself: who and what will he target next, and what will he do? Will it be you? Will it be because of your race or your religion? Will it be because you look different or think differently? Where does it end? In America, the President is neither a King nor a dictator, as much as this one tries to act like it – and it is the rule of law that prevents him from being so."

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights.

That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion.

We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war.

Facts matter.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

I just watched my recording of this evening's @abcnewsgo.bsky.social. How did they not cover today's nationwide protests against Musk & Rump?! Disgraceful and disturbing.

I am grateful I work somewhere where I can experience great moments and art. Tonight we presented Jason Moran and his Duke Ellington program. Mind blowing piano playing.

Former Kennedy Center president speaks out in first interview since her firing NPR's Mary Louise Kelly speaks to Deborah Rutter, former head of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, in her first interview since the board installed President Trump as its new chair.

I'm glad she is speaking out.
