Sim say, “You’re working too much.” I should probably listen to her and give her some skritches. #Caturday#CatsofBluesky #CutrusCats #CitrusSim

Captured at the Delridge Library last night – a small group of folks working on signs for the @westseattleindivisible.com May Day Eve pop-up protest in West Seattle (April 30, 4:30pm near the Whole Foods on Fauntleroy). Full details: www.westseattleindivisible.com/events-actio...

New tunes! An easy-going vibe to help shift into a spring mindset with loads of returning Radio Free Eggsy faves (Mamas Gun, Tahiti 80, Trails and Ways, @mylessanko.bsky.social, Moses Hightower, FLOTT, and more). #NewTunes #NowListening #musicsky www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...

Took some pics of the @westseattleindivisible.com Signs of Fascism action last week, where over a dozen folks held signs lining Admiral Way in West Seattle to remind drivers what the warning signs of fascism look like. #ResistTrump #GetHimOut #PeacefulProtest

25th Amendment!!!!

There's a quote referring to the administration as shambolic. I'd argue it's an OMNIshambles!

Astra is one happy cat getting scritches (photo captured by my wife). #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #CitrusAsta #CitrusCats

Man, I'm missing the vermouth on tap that we enjoyed all over Barcelona a couple weeks back... open up the Strait of Vermouth into my mouth!!!! (thanks for the vid @briantylercohen.bsky.social) youtube.com/shorts/kgoZQ...

in this crazed, dark world, this is the kind of news I need more of.

I'd like to time-travel back to the mid-2010s when Trump was in full birther mode and let people know that this is what will happen if we don't shut this shit down. But would they just think it was just an SNL cold open?

(In Coach Beard voice): 25th amendment, baby!

When Sim (The Floof) flops into the lap, it’s time for one-handed typing. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #CitrusCats #CitrusSim

It's a good #NewMusic Friday when @mylessanko.bsky.social has something new! Looking forward to the new LP.

a worthy watch...

All of Trump's crises are the result of his own choices... and he just doubles down on them and won't come back from the brink.

Some more fave photos from my time at #NoKings yesterday photographing the @westseattleindivisible.com group.

One of my fave signs from the Seattle No Kings 3 with @westseattleindivisible.com

After letting the state of the world get to me of late, I've decided not to let the bastards get me down... and have turned to the joy of sharing new music discoveries. Here's Feb's New Tunes mix with R&B, indie pop, Icelandic reggae, and more. #nowplaying #musicsky www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...

Proud of my (St. Olaf) college town stepping up against ICE. Um ya ya!!!!! #ICEout #resist #MinnesotaStrong www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

It's not about the economics, it's not about immigrants bleeding us dry. It's about white nationalism.

Re-upping this mix of protest (and protest-adjacent) tunes I put together last weekend on @mixcloud.bsky.social. It's got anger, it's got sorrow, and it's got a bit of positivity, something we all need. #nowplaying #musicsky #minneapolis #resisttrump www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...

Excellent overview from my pal @jeffcarlson.bsky.social on how to prepare your phone for protests to protect your data. Followers of @westseattleindivisible.com, take note for future protests.

I needed to get a few things off my chest regarding the events in Minneapolis (my hometown from long ago), so I made a mix. It's got anger, it's got frustration, some tunes from my mid-80s Minnesota and some new protest songs... 🧵 1/ #nowplaying #musicsky #ICEoutnow www.mixcloud.com/agenschmitz/...

Astra is keeping an eye out for mischief... and there's a lot out there. #Caturday #CatsofBluesky #CitrusCats #CitrusAstra

how are the price of eggs in the new police state reality? #ICEoutnow #ICEoutforGood

wow! The Boss brings it to First Avenue in Minneapolis!!! #nowplaying #musicsky #ICEoutnow youtu.be/FMexHF9LK5I?...

Um ya ya!!!!

Good to watch this speech from @warren.senate.gov in full, but the most powerful part is her reading a letter from Alex Pretti's final nursing student (starts at 9:45). Transcript follows... #pretti youtu.be/w5CSCn16DbQ?...

amen @warren.senate.gov (and thank you @atrupar.com for your diligent work as always)

amen, brother @wardsutton.bsky.social

a reminder...

Judas Priest has been helping me channel my anger today... this one goes out to all the #ICE chuds who are indeed breaking the law breaking the law... #nowplaying #musicsky youtu.be/_Wmz2IIB78o?...

It was an extrajudicial execution. Anyone who defends this is defending a police state.

glad I could be a part of this. let’s keep showing up. westseattleblog.com/2026/01/happ...
