I’ve got this image of Andrea Gibson reaching out to welcome Joanna Macy into the next realm and it makes me happy to think they might finally meet. #joannamacy #andreagibson

Why does Trump love playing β€˜Fortunate Son’ at rallies? John Fogerty has a pretty good theory β€œThe song is decrying the kind of person [Trump] is," says the Creedence Clearwater Revival founder of his 1969 antiwar classic. "He’s absolutely that person I wrote the song about.”

I was wishing it was an insider troll but my dreams were shattered by this. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social longtime member of your channel. Just thought it would be fun to share that someone planning music for the army band decided to have them walk past him yesterday playing Fortunate One by Creedence Clearwater. I think it’s a wonderful stealth troll.

@wajali.bsky.social might be fun for someone with a bigger platform than me to note the song choices for the army marching past him yesterday. Like Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater. Not an accident IMHO.

Hey! @maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @msnbc.com someone should point out that the army marched past him to Creedence Clearwater’s Fortunate Son. Not an accident.

The army marching past the wanna be dictator to the tune of Creedence Clearwater’s β€œFortunate Son” is a vibe I can get behind.

Trying to Be Water... The bloodshed of recent days has stilled my writing and my heart.

In you’re interested, here’s a piece (including a poem) I wrote a few years ago, more relevant now more than ever. Also, really appreciate your offering!

β€œSkedaddler” alone undid me, adding the other two words will make me giggle for the rest of the day.

After hearing Chris Murphy’s analysis of the β€œwhy” of the tariffs, I’m thinking it’s a combo of ineptitude AND a well-planned, historically supported power grab, because paradox is a thing. www.instagram.com/reel/DIALTQj...

Signs that say:
Resist
Persist
(Rest)
Repeat

Signs that say: Resist Persist (Rest) Repeat

Just sharing signs I’m making for tomorrow in Portland. Simple stencil technique, imperfect and homely, in the best way.

Also, rest is resistance too.

@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social is my go-to because she is a lawyer, an analyst, AND and activist, as well as trauma-informed, and offers action-based strategies for listeners. I don’t see many of the dudes doing that.
