Great quote from Newsom “Vulgar display of weakness.”

Trump's unlawful actions in LA make it clearer than ever that he dreams of crushing our right to dissent. Will we let him? He only wins if we back down. If we refuse to exercise our right to assemble and hand over our power to him voluntarily. Find your closest event here: lil.ms/osoc/apzlfh

Steal the narrative! While Trump hosts a military parade in D.C. the people will unify and give him something to see. Let’s make this the largest day of mass protest in U.S. history! #nokings #nofascistUSA #nooligarchs #resist #ourdemocracy #peoplepower

Call yr senator! “The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.” - D. Dayen

Pinch me. I must be dreaming. Mint Echo & The Bunnymen 1987 (still shrinkwrapped) in a free box on a curb in my neighborhood. Plus 10,000 Maniacs and Rockpile. WHAT?!?! #luckyday #freevinyl #usedvinyl

Honored to be MCing the Amethyst Park stage on Thames St. at Resurgam Music and Arts Festival (4:30-6) today! It’s FREE, too!

80s PRIDE classics mixtape! Side A, Song #06 The Human League - Love Action Phil Oakey’s message to his younger self: “Be yourself, Be proud of who you are and don’t be scared of the journey.” youtu.be/HnjLlDY_xww?... #pride #pridemonth #lgbtq+

Watching the news about L.A. tonight. This one's for all of the humans in the City of Angels. This one's for all of the Latino families and communities being ripped apart by the fascist forces of ICE. PROTEST & SURVIVE! PROTEST & SURVIVE! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEha...

Nailed it!

80s PRIDE classics mixtape! Side A, Song #05: Pet Shop Boys - It’s A Sin “This insistently grand synth-pop anthem merged disco drama with a lyrical lament that evoked Tennant’s Catholic schooldays, and the draconian view that all sexuality was inherently sinful.” - A. Haider youtu.be/dRHetRTOD1Q?...

“That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists—and that they both individually wield such massive power—is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.” - Robert Reich

Speak truth to power! Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) to Russell Vought: “Be honest, this is never about government efficiency. In fact, an efficient government, a government that capably serves the American people and proves good government is achievable is what you fear the most...”

80s PRIDE classics mixtape! Side A, Song #04: Divine - Love Reaction. Recorded with Bobby O in 1983… just a little inspiration from New Order’s Blue Monday. Divine brought hi-NRG drag queen to the mainstream! youtu.be/vGFbhkIUHHc?...

80s PRIDE classics mixtape! Side A, Song #03: Bronski Beat - Smalltown Boy. An openly gay band that addressed issues impacting the queer community. This song is about a gay teenager leaving his family and fleeing his home town. Brave and resilient music in 1984! www.youtube.com/watch?v=88sA...

Call your representatives and tell them you want these cuts to stop!

80s PRIDE classics mixtape! Side A, Song #02: Depeche Mode - People Are People. Probably the first DM song that caught my ear. A plea for humanism in the face of discrimination. “I can't understand / What makes a man / Hate another man /Help me understand.” youtu.be/MzGnX-MbYE4?... #pride

80s PRIDE classics mixtape! Side A, Song #01: Erasure - A Little Respect. This song gives me goosebumps when my band plays it live. Wish I could hit the notes as gracefully as Andy Bell. youtu.be/x34icYC8zA0?... #pride #pridecelebration

"I think there's only one Boss in America." - Bono
