"No right was deemed by the fathers of the government more sacred than the right of speech. It was in their eyes, as in the eyes of all thoughtful men, the great moral renovator of society and government."

I’m playing this show… it’s so important and we need you…!

I’ll post the ticket link in the comments and if you can’t make it, donate to the link on the poster…!

Let’s make some noise…!

None of this… is right or normal. Not a shred of it.

Incredible… Not fired… Just incredible.

Ahhh… Only saw this now… (3:00 pm) Bummer!

I’ll say it again, he’s an idiot but, it’s the people propping him up, doing his dirty, racist, fascist work for him that I’m most mad at… If this is a test of our democracy (as is constantly claimed, long after the barn door has been left wide open and the horses have bolted) then we are failing.!

I’ve been going to ACE lately…

While I’m sure there are a number of people calling for a global intifada, they are a tiny fraction compared to the amount of people simply demanding that Israel stop its genocide…

My son, Cian is 20 today (pictured with his sister)… Unreal..!

He’s a great young man. A thinker and tinkerer. He’s starting at University of Pittsburgh soon and loves taking cars apart and fixing them.

He’s cool… I love him dearly.

Happy Birthday Cian.

Bain taitneamh asat.

Grá mór, Dad.

Children dying of starvation in Gaza, others shot dead trying to get food, Genocide happening before our eyes. In the U.S, legal immigrants disappeared for minor infractions.
Keep looking to the stars, real things.
Do not allow cruelty and ignorance to win.. Tiochfaidh ár lá… Our day will come…

Favorite Band, (amazing musicians) has decided to invite some guests to perform in the middle of their set tomorrow (Sat, 7/19)...

I'm honored to be one of those guests.

4:00pm at the Foreland St. Stage (Off East Ohio, corner of James & Foreland).

… and even with that piece of bravery and the good line about Kindness being the new punk rock, still not a great movie.

Inequality is not actually a requirement.

It's a choice we're making. We built an exploitation culture that believes poverty is necessary & inequality is impossible to negate.

So we've created a self-fulfilling prophecy & a paradigm built on inferiority-superiority complexes.

Yes… Not inevitable but crafted.

Well done New York City… Very well done..!

A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

“‘I just find it fascinating that this student can write an article, a series of articles that are essentially manifestoes, and that’s free speech,’ Ms. Chatman said, referring to Mr. Damsky, ‘but my class can’t be called “Race, Entrepreneurship and Inequality.”’” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/21/u...

LOL…

Sadly… yes.

People…

It’s Time!

Let’s March!

No Kings…!

I’ll be very sad to see it come to that…

Has the U.S already fallen… is it too late..?

… LOL.! Ah, forgot about the tea!

Feels like I’m at home… in a way I’m not happy about.!

Whoa…!

Personally, I'm having a wonderful year. I'm surrounded by such an abundance of love... I couldn't ask for more.

But, feeling the five years of my mother’s passing a bit bigger this year..

Here’s to you Ma…

❤

Belfast rap trio Kneecap are not the story… Babies starving to death in Gaza is…

Respectful LOL… No, Full reunification of the 32 counties of Ireland. The 6 Northern ones of which are currently in an Irish/British power sharing agreement.

As someone born and raised in Ireland, (living in the U.S.) I would consider myself strongly in favor of full reunification but denounce violence. It’s too easy to just say Pro-Palestinian means pro violence against Jewish people… Myself and everyone I know are Pro-Palestinian and Pro-Jewish…!
