Do you still shop at Amazon? I canceled the Washington Post & Amazon Prime. Don’t go to Whole Foods. Don’t want to fund my own demise. WaPo said “Democracy dies in darkness” Now I see democracy dies inside every box my neighbors buy on Amazon. I find things cheaper and support small/local businesses

Springsteen releases fiery ode to Minneapolis shooting victims

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Last night: @claycane.bsky.social Burn Down Master’s House book launch event at Strand bookstore NYC. Reecie Colbert hosted, Lurie Daniel Favors also spoke. Buy it now on audio, or support small/independent/black-owned booksellers. These historical acts of resistance feel vital in these times

There are really very few brands for which I am brand-loyal. Apple is one. I’ve always been an Apple customer. I’ve been using iPhones since the first one came out, getting a new one every few years. Have only owned Apple computer or MacBook… www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Evidence that these devils are possessed by the same demonic spirit speaking evil through them youtube.com/shorts/wr9ow...

Adding insult to injury to the families, Trump & regime says “your mother/daughter/son is a domestic terrorist.” Disgusting! Everything old is new again. They will execute white people who advocate for humanity for all. Back in the day, Alex & Renee they would have been…

Today’s brunch cocktail from 1930’s New Orleans — Vieux Carré. Made with Rittenhouse Bottled-In-Bond Rye, Courvoisier cognac, Carpano Antica Formula sweet vermouth, Bénédictine, Angostura bitters, Peychaud’s bitters. Big ice cube + lemon peel

Brunch cocktail: Brown Derby cocktail. Created in Los Angeles in the 1930’s. Made with Kings County Distillery straight bourbon, homemade spiced wildflower honey syrup (spiced with star anise, cinnamon bark, cloves, allspice), fresh grapefruit juice, fresh lemon juice

Brunch cocktail is a 1920’s classic from Paris, named for term used for fashionable men of the time — Boulevardier. With: Elijah Craig Small Batch bourbon -+ Carpano Antica Formula sweet vermouth + Campari. Orange peel essence ignited over top. Garnished with orange peel + homemade brandied cherry

Never forget: His highest honors are participation trophies for things he never participated in — Like when he accepted Purple Heart medals from Vietnam vets, despite the fact that Trump faked having a disability so others would have to serve in his place timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/us/tru...

Brunch out back with this modern classic from 2008 — Paper Plane cocktail, made with Baker’s 7 Single Barrel 107 Proof Bourbon + Nonino Amaro + Aperol + fresh lemon juice. I made little paper airplanes out of wrapping paper to do a flyover

Fall vibes in NYC for our backyard brunch with Penicillin cocktail made with: Monkey Shoulder blended scotch + fresh lemon juice + homemade honey syrup + Laphroaig 10 year peaty scotch float on top + shaken & poured over a giant ice cube + homemade candied ginger root I made for a garnish #cocktails

Welp… Scumbag Trump pardoned this criminal, setting him free back on our streets — but here comes Mamdani, removing criminals from these NYC streets before even taking the oath of office on New Year’s! www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Today’s brunch cocktail: Corpse Reviver #2 from 1930, made with Plymouth gin + Cocchi Americano + No Where Sun Kissed & Stargazed triple sec by Matchbook Distilling + La Muse Verte absinthe + fresh lemon juice #cocktails

In 1980, John Lennon sang: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans” (Beautiful Boy). If he were alive today, I think he’d sing: “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy staring at your smartphone”

NYC — Happy first day of early voting. Find your early voting location & hours, and review sample ballot: findmypollsite.vote.nyc How I am voting on ballot proposals: 1 & 5: DEFINITE YES 2,3,4,6: Leaning YES Remember: DO NOT RANK candidates on ballot. Only vote for ONE candidate (including mayor)

I’m seeing misinformation here about upcoming NYC election. People are advising how to RANK their ballot. NYC voters: DO NOT RANK your ballot. We only rank on primary or special election ballots. If you mark more than one candidate in general, you will disqualify your ballot. Mark ONE CANDIDATE ONLY

NYC backyard brunch. Halloween-themed brunch cocktail created in Detroit in 1916 — the Last Word cocktail, which I think sounds ominous. Plymouth gin + Chartreuse Verte + Luxardo Maraschino liqueur + fresh lime juice. Ran out of cherries, but I had cranberries in freezer, so brandied cranberries

I went to the No Kings peaceful protest march here in NYC yesterday. In these times, it’s good to get off the damn apps for a minute, and get on these streets. When the history of these times is written, let the record show that not all Americans stayed quiet #nokings #nokingsnyc

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Every Saturday I walk to grocery, pass through Stonewall National Monument — nation’s first & only national monument for LGBTQ rights & history (thank u, President Obama!). Locked! What — Why??? Then it dawned on me… Locked up because Republicans shut down govt rather than fund healthcare

I’m not interested in TikTok videos. I get that people can be addicted to social media platforms, regardless of ownership — but I don’t want to participate in funding my own demise. A good feature on this app would be a filter to block any video with TikTok logo

‘Cruelty is the point’: Trump uses shutdown as a lever for mass firings, cuts to social programmes

Republicans control the White House, Senate & House. They set this shutdown deadline, and then jammed through the Big Ugly Bill gutting SNAP, Medicaid & ACA tax credits to enrich billionaires. Now they need Dems and won't negotiate—and blocked us from offering an alternative. It's a GOP shutdown.
