I have no expertise in government, but the piece of advice I give most to parents is โ€œmehโ€ - when youโ€™ve got a toddler or a teen whoโ€™s trying to stir things up, the best thing you can do is be indifferent. Make sure theyโ€™re not hurting anyone and then just shrug. I think the USA did that today.

Yesterday we recut drums on two songs. Now the recording is completed. On to final mixes and mastering. 2 1/2 years in the making. Lots of outtakes. Pondering the idea of an album release party with the extended lineup; horns, piano, and harmonica.

As we showed the world on Saturday, weโ€™re organizing everywhere โ€” because thatโ€™s what it will take to rebuild the pro-democracy majority and reclaim its power.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!

Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Weโ€™re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.
โ€จAnd history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistanceโ€”transformative change is inevitable.

Everyone needs to call their representatives & senators to tell them why you oppose the SAVE Act.

@lwvohio.bsky.social, I just called my representative office @repshontelbrown.bsky.social & confirmed that the SAVE Act vote last week was delayed

Where can I find updated information on its status?

Fascists stop at nothing in carrying out their agenda. We let nothing stop us from defeating them.

Tomorrow evening, assuming I'm still walking free after the afternoon fun of shoving it back in the fascists faces, we're rocking out at Broadview Brewing Company in Broadview Heights from 7:00 to 10:00.

President Elonia Muskolini spent $20,000,000 buying votes and STILL lost to the Democrats! Suck it, MAGAt Traitor Trash!!! Now to arrest his apartheid bitch ass and send him to that prison in El Salvador where they locked up people for being brown.

My photos from the Tesla Takedown this past Saturday in Lyndhurst. Best part was the morbidly obese guy driving a semi having a fit of rage. During his tantrum he squeezed his fat frame out the window screaming and threatening to shoot us, then got stuck at a red light in the middle of the protest.
