Art can't just be a luxury for the few. That requires a city where artists can actually afford to live and create, and where musicians don't just receive recognition but fair pay. That's what @local802.bsky.social organizes for and I'm so proud to have their endorsement.

This feels so relevant right now.

So uh…

shame... celebrate all you want but this kind of vandalism is never acceptable

No more business as usual. Donald Trump and Elon Musk are imposing pain on millions of people. Tonight, we’re taking this fight to the Senate floor. Russ Vought - author of Project 2025 - is up for a vote, and Democrats are using every second to throw a wrench in their plan.

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Beautiful piece.

About time!

I’m all about the unsubscribe.

AOC comes out swinging against a Nancy Mace for targeting Sarah McBride. "They're doing this so that Nancy Mace can ... fundraise off an email. They're not doing this to protect people. They're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kinds. And everybody should reject it. It's gross."

It's me! Thanks @annasplat.bsky.social!

You wanna hear a story about how me and these mice here fell out? It's kinda long, but it's full of suspense.

Philly content going hard up this corner.
