This photo says all you need to know about the state of the USA. The Epstein survivor standing up behind a smiling Pan Bondi who refused to acknowledge them multiple times through her hours-long testimony.

I had that happen, couldn't watch horror for years, and my kids are now college aged and I'm happy to report that I can totally watch horror again.

When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liam…even if that wasn’t actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.

Every kid impacted by this administration’s cruelty is another Liam.

This happens all the time. I throw elbows, usually. This time it didn't do a thing.

I gave up my spot. Which... whatever. It happens. Except you made me feel like I'm NOT A PERSON.

Anyway, what the FUCK, dude. You ruined my Shakedown Street.

Now I'm all about going with the flow, but... I'm a person? I'm already here? Can't you see me? Can't you FEEL ME SLAMMING INTO YOU because you stepped in front of my nose when there was plenty of space around us?

Because last night I was happily dancing in the same spot at DSO for the whole show, my husband right behind me, until some guy stepped right in front of my nose during drums/space and stayed there.

So if you're at a GA show and the smaller, female person behind you is repeatedly slamming into you because you completely stepped into the space she's been occupying for the better part of 2 sets, and you don't acknowledge or even move, can you explain?

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like β€œratings” or β€œrevenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

A lot of people predicted, based on his past actions & stated beliefs, that Trump would go full Hitler if nobody stopped him. We were called hysterical and told to calm down.

I really try to keep an even keel, and self-regulate because it’s the only way to be in this for the long haul, but sometimes the fury overtakes you for a bit.

This is a stance that so many of us rightfully take, but how can we encourage our bands to have the courage to keep their communities safe too?

When all of this is in the rear view mirror, I'm always going to remember who spoke up. Who took action.

And who didn't.

Making art is political. Existing is political. Use your voice.
