Happy birthday to Peter Edward Clarke aka Budgie, drummer for Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Creatures and The Slits, born on this day in 1957, St Helens, England.

Something to remember ahead of the despot meeting in Alaska: Ukraine belongs to the Ukrainians, not to the Russians & not to the Americans. It does not belong to the Russians to seize & it does not belong to the Americans to give. Glory to the heroes who have defended it these long years.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them.

Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

Thanks Living Color for this anthem! You had me at the first riff and I’ve loved this song since it first came out!

Folks, it is not unpatriotic, even less some sort of crime, to ask for transparency and accountability from your own government. We are not their subjects. They are our employees. Do not allow yourselves to be intimidated into silence.

I have a new album out that expresses so many things about our current moment. My hope is that these songs inspire folk who are resisting authoritarians and remind us that there is beauty, even now. You can download it here: jeremygraeffmusic.com/album/348984...

On this day in 1803 at Arcahaie, Catherine Flon stitched together Haiti's first flag as the country fought for independence from France & human freedom. Bon fèt drapo, Ayiti Cherie. Never forget you are the children of heroes. One day you will stand tall again. Ayiti pap peri.🇭🇹

A humorous image depicting two individuals dressed in matching grey outfits, styled to resemble characters from the movie "Austin Powers." The larger individual, standing behind, is holding a finger to their lips in a "shushing" gesture, while the smaller individual, strapped to the larger one's chest with a harness, has a displeased expression. The background is a plain dark teal color.

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

That’s only ok if it’s the 7 Seconds version

Thank you Senator Booker! I hope you can help put on a path that puts people before profits and democracy above expediency!

Same, Angela. Same.

WATCH: Did you know? ProPublica is keeping a list of who works at #DOGE.

We’ve also been reporting on who’s in charge. Is it #ElonMusk, his lieutenants, or a bureaucrat named #AmyGleason?

I don't particularly care--nor should the Democrats--whether or not protecting trans people is popular in the heartland. Even if it alienates the "moderates," it's the right thing to do, and the Democrats should make every effort to do it. Sometimes what the people need is to be led and not lead.

Certainly someone with better technical know-how than me should be able to identify this ICE agent who was the first to put his hands on Rumeysa Ozturk in the commission of her kidnapping on Tuesday. Reporters should certainly want to question him about his involvement in this.

Flowers appearing in the desert are a sign of hope and proof of the existence of beauty in hostile climates.

Hey, an occasional reminder:

Should you be fighting fascism here in the US? Yes, you should!

Are you the one who decides how best you can do that? Yes, you are!

Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

At this point, I’m just realizing into a perpetual state of rage and distrust, so it’s hard to hi age the metrics.

Lynx and I found ourselves at the doorstep of the Punk Rock Museum, so naturally we had to visit! #punkrock #punkrockmuseum #lasvegas

Neutral good would work handily as well!

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

All hail Artemisia Gentileschi!

Might save a life.

Surely the French get an honorable mention for their protests of the Bourbons?

Ski resorts, Yellowstone, Tesla dealerships….I haven’t seen mobs this angry since the Romans killed Caesar.

So what you’re saying is, hold tight?

That reporter really looked at the president of a country being battered by an invading force and asked “but what was he wearing”
