Went to No Kings gathering in Marble Falls, TX, a county which voted 80% for Trump, and more than 500 folks gathered on bridge over Lake. Wow. So Amazing.

Representing Authors Against Book Bans with Gloria Amescua. #aabb #nokings #austintx

At the Austin #nokings rally. Saw some great signs, sang protest songs with the Raging Grannies.

No kings Americans!!!
Apalachicola protest. This town might have 2500 folks. Ten percent are out here!!

Do this ⬇️

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

My Fours students enjoyed this book so much! Just the right mix of spooky and sweet. Perfect preschool read for the lead up to Halloween. @marianallanos.bsky.social

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Smithsonian museums and National Zoo set to close as shutdown takes its toll The shutdown is forcing the closure of a number of America's beloved cultural institutions starting Sunday. Twenty-one Smithsonian museums, its research centers and the National Zoo are all affected.

My songwriting professor put it this way - Give yourself permission to write crap.

I’m so excited for #DVPit (though I am going to try to be somewhat reasonable)!!

Hey DC - this one’s for you. youtu.be/PipxVxsE6l0?...

This is a fierce ruling against Trump from a judge he appointed.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

It was supposed to be a park. Instead, this property in Taylor is being turned into a data center. Neighbors that live near a proposed data center project in Taylor have filed a lawsuit aiming to stop all commercial development and construction on the site.

Heard some great songs from @carolynshulman.bsky.social @claudiagibson.bsky.social and many more last night at the first open mic for #swrfa2025. Looking forward to a lot more music at the Southwest Regional Folk Alliance Conference in Austin TX.

@fuse8.bsky.social @atsurumi.bsky.social After a read aloud of POP GOES THE NURSERY RHYME to my Fours classes, they are now getting the book off the shelf and “reading” it themselves. Reciting/singing each nursery rhyme and then “Pop! Goes the weasel!” as they turn the pages. Brilliant book.

When you’ve lost Ted Cruz… seriously. Even Cruz thinks the Trump administration is going too far in censoring television comics.

Just canceled Hulu. And Paramount Plus.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Average cost of hospitalization for measles is $18,500. Vaccine cost to government is a few dollars.

Opinion | Not vaccinating comes at an exorbitant cost Agony and death are not all that shots prevent.

Vaccines not only save lives, they save money.

Paying a hospital bill for what should have been an avoidable illness could bankrupt families and cost the government billions.

Vaccines work and are a cost-effective investment.

The perfect bedtime read to settle your little ones when they’ve been buzzing through a busy day. Lovely lyrical text, beautiful art. Congratulations @clairebobrow.bsky.social!

My Gibson is in the shop so I put new strings on this old girl. She sounds glorious. #guildguitars
