Hoping to see y’all tonight in #athensohio at Eclipse Company Store, 6-9pm.

Big thanks to @weresistradio.bsky.social for spinning the #resistance

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

i will say again that given the trajectory of the white house so far, strident opposition a la 2017 would have absolutely been the most prudent and effective decision and the absence of that opposition in the first two months made things demonstrably worse.

May Day posies made by my daughters in 2017

Beltaine, also known as May Day (1st May), marks the beginning of summer in pagan & Gaelic calendars. It's marked with Maypole dancing, bonfires, fertility rituals (👀) & by making posies & leaving them at the doors of those you love.
Merry May Day 🌿-some May posies my daughters made 8 years ago:

Socialism is what they called public power. 

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Was picking fights with our friends part of the mandate?

Re: #bezosdirective, is there anything stopping @washingtonpost.com from reallocating people and resources to newsgathering?

I gave the Gulf of America 1 star on Google reviews today, doing my part

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Posted around NYC, Chicago, DC and other cities. Be creative. Do something!

Instead of saying "I didn't understand the halftime show, therefore it is bad art" maybe try and understand why you didn't get it and think critically about the presentation, symbolism, etc. This is part of the beauty of art and creativity.

thank you to Kendrick and the Eagles for making terrible people angry tonight

Been thinking about this old song I wrote for my daughter and all the daughters, tuning it up for hitting the road this week.

“The revolution about to be televised // you picked the right time but the wrong guy” — #kendricklamar

Looking forward to meeting you, friend!!!

Anybody out here into #livemusic, #indiefolk, #americana, living in #newengland, #hudsonvalley, #upstateny, #brooklyn, #northjersey, #washingtondc, #richmondva? Tour to #folkalliance starts in one week!!

Aw, such quaint nostalgia for the good old days of functional checks and balances. Precious!

Who’s going to Montreal for #folkalliance2025? I’m very stoked for an official showcase and a bunch of late-night sets alongside some folkie pals. #indiefolk #americana

That is … ominous?!

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I’m taking my song #merseybeat to the South Florida Folk & Acoustic Festival #songwritingcompetition on Saturday. Anybody else into #retrofolkpop that conjures #thebeatles, #gerryandthepacemakers, #thehollies or #vanmorrison ?? Here’s to not walking alone. youtu.be/cSzZQTZCmKU?...

Hello, Bluesky. I make #indiefolk, #americana, #indiepop and #indierock out of #durhamnc. #iyl #wilco, #davidbowie, #ironandwine, #boniver, #countingcrows, #fleetfoxes. “Au Cheval” just won Best Rock Video at the #midatlanticsongcontest youtu.be/2vh_aQR8hp0?...

As dad to two humans who were once babies, I can say with conviction that a nation led by guys like JD Vance doesn’t deserve our babies. If you want more babies, give us a better country.
