When @united.com breaks your instrument after a visit to paradise I recently got to visit the wondrous country of #Bhutan. I was able to buy a rare lute called a dranyen. Brought it back safely to #Eugene airport where it was broken into two pieces. WATCH: m.youtube.com/watch?v=VPCN...

"We have chosen to be powerless criminals in a time of criminal power. We have chosen to be branded as peace criminals by war criminals." — Fr. Berrigan In highly publicized trial (H. Zinn @zinndigital.bsky.social testified), Catonsville 9 found guilty & sentenced to prison. Some went underground.

"Our apologies, good friends, for the fracture of good order, the burning of paper instead of children. . ." — Father Daniel Berrigan #tdih 1968, Md.: Catonsville Nine burned draft records with homemade napalm.

Initial report is that two observers got into a shoving match with eight agents, one observer was wrestled to the ground, and then an ICE agent pulled out a sidearm and shot the man on the ground five times.

He actually did it. The pilot of Air Force One told Donald Trump if he didn’t shut the fuck up, he turned the plane around and go home. Probably 🤷🏻‍♂️

Minneapolis resident Patty O’Keefe, who was violently arrested by ICE, says one agent told her that "obstructing" agents is "why that lesbian bitch is dead,” referring to Renee Good. See our full report on community resistance: https://www.democracynow.org/2026/1/20/minneapolis_minnesota_ice

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Here is my 2+hour video of The Who’s entire concert in Seattle on September 25, 2025, their third-to-last concert in North America. #thewho #petetownshend youtu.be/6NmMf1uJ0jo?...

Is Bluesky supposed to be at least liberal leaning if not progressive? I’m not seeing it.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him

Sweet new song from one of my favorite bands

Why is the mainstream media silent about the coming collapse - even as the alarm is being sounded in the worlds of business and finance ? 🧵

A new report from Human Rights Watch says conditions at three immigration detention facilities in Florida “flagrantly violate international human rights standards and the United States government’s own immigration detention standards.”

While the world is focused on Iran, Israel is continuing its massacres in Gaza. Israeli attacks killed over 200 Palestinians over the past three days including many who were killed while waiting to receive humanitarian aid.

"Rising global temperatures are set to devastate food crops across the world, with particularly alarming impacts projected for the United States, where production of key crops could plummet 50% by the end of the century, according to a sweeping new analysis." 🧪

A data broker owned by the major airlines, including Delta, American, and United, collected travelers’ flight records, sold access to them to Customs and Border Protection, and in the contract told CBP not to reveal where the data came from. From @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/airlin...

Highlights from today's rally at the University of Oregon in solidarity with #Mahmoud Khalil and all who face persecution from the Trump regime. Thanks to all of the students, faculty, staff & community members who came together quickly for this powerful presence. #eugene youtu.be/JigaPWL6x3Y?...

This a beginning. Frightening, yes. We must show up and resist. Trump says this is “the first arrest of many to come.” Believe him. Let us not cave or give up. It will not stop at people with green cards. Ordinary US citizens could be next. TUESDAY, MARCH 11TH 12:00 PM JOHNSON HALL UNIV OF OREGON

Sorry to hear of the passing of Joey Molland of Badfinger last night. Had a couple of great convos at Beatlefest, Chicago ‘23. So full of life, outgoing & funny. An absolute delight. Told me abt selling his GIbson SG that he used, another side effect of one of the most tragic stories in rock n roll.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

#ChrisHedges at the @workersstrikeback.bsky.social convention February 22, 2025. I was there. Well worthy watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8Pn...

We’re partnering w/ a number of groups participating in an #economicblackout THIS Friday, 2/28. Do not spend, if possible. No Starbucks on your way to work. No drinks w/ the coworkers after work. No dining out. No Walmart run. No quick McDonald’s drive-thru hit. Hurt their wallets!

Often when I am in Portland someone offers me the chance to buy the latest issue of @streetroots.bsky.social. And every time that happens that person treats me with kindness & respect. I always buy a copy, usually paying $5 instead of $1. A win-win. They are the ones deserving kindness & solidarity.

I’m putting the band back together.
