Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/V6PVC4k8

GOOD morning! 🦋☀️ A little levity to lift your sprits... The Macbeth!

This brief video brought tears to my eyes. A tiny instance of Hope in all this darkness. Please watch it to the end. You won't regret it. youtu.be/lhwS06U1SnA?...

An excellent collaboration between two world-class graphic novelists: Art spiegelman, of "Maus" fame, and Joe Sacco, best known for "Palestine". These panels comprise a conversation between the two of them about an ongoing tragedy. www.theguardian.com/world/pictur...

Quite large protests broke out in many major cities to cry out against Trump's inauguration. It was reported in many, many news outlets, but not so much here at home. Hmmmm...

Once again, the Felon-in-Chief uses a tragic disaster to heap groundless blame on his political rivals. He did the same thing to us here in California a couple of weeks ago. Does anyone still actually believe him?

This is a good time to bring up RFK Jr's role in a major measles outbreak in Samoa in 2019. Over 𝟴𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 died. 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣. RFK Jr has blood on his hands. He's not fit to have any say about vaccines. youtu.be/l0f3yZ9jJPY?...

ART IS LIFE #1: This obscure 1973 film, directed by Lindsay Anderson and starring Malcolm McDowell, is both a surreal satire on British society and a loose sketch of McDowell's own early life. It's also a personal touchstone that has helped me through some of the darker passages of my life.

One of them has seen the light and walked toward it.

Coincidence? I was just thinking about Garth Hudson last night, reflecting that he was the last surviving member of one of my very, very favorite groups and wondering how he was doing and how much longer he'd be around. Then this. All of them are gone now, but The Band's superb music remains..

Okay, if you really need to blame someone for these catastrophic fires, blame every citizen who voted for a climate change denier. Blame every elected official who failed to act on climate change. Blame every country that failed to live up to its obligations under various treaties and accords.

I so wanted more of your dangerous, delicious, delirious Dreams. You opened my eyes. I owe you.

Many people find it so difficult to accept that events can be without rational cause. No bad guys. No blunderers. No conspiracies. Like the current fires currently ravaging my town, Los Angeles. 9 rainless months + 100 mph winds = dumb bad luck. I'm convinced wisdom lies in embracing uncertainty.

Just to get into the sweet spirit of Blue Sky, I am posting my introductory dog photo. Meet Phoebe!

As we witness the parade of charlatans, fanatics, and criminals that Trumpzilla is proposing to fill his Clown Cabinet and his Asylum Administration, we can confirm that he has a real shot at being the worst president in US history .... twice!
