Happy birthday to Peter Edward Clarke aka Budgie, drummer for Siouxsie & the Banshees, The Creatures and The Slits, born on this day in 1957, St Helens, England. #punk #punks #punkrock #gothpunkrock #drummer #Budgie #history #punkrockhistory #otd

Something to remember ahead of the despot meeting in Alaska: Ukraine belongs to the Ukrainians, not to the Russians & not to the Americans. It does not belong to the Russians to seize & it does not belong to the Americans to give. Glory to the heroes who have defended it these long years.

I'm having a rough go of it lately, and have been thinking: everyone is going through something, and you have no idea what it is, or how it's affecting them. Quote post this is if you're going through something, and maybe we'll all realize that we aren't as alone as we feel right now.

Folks, it is not unpatriotic, even less some sort of crime, to ask for transparency and accountability from your own government. We are not their subjects. They are our employees. Do not allow yourselves to be intimidated into silence.

I have a new album out that expresses so many things about our current moment. My hope is that these songs inspire folk who are resisting authoritarians and remind us that there is beauty, even now. You can download it here: jeremygraeffmusic.com/album/348984... #resist #postpunk #newmusic

On this day in 1803 at Arcahaie, Catherine Flon stitched together Haiti's first flag as the country fought for independence from France & human freedom. Bon fèt drapo, Ayiti Cherie. Never forget you are the children of heroes. One day you will stand tall again. Ayiti pap peri.🇭🇹

Great. Now I need to inject bleach into my eyes.

WATCH: Did you know? ProPublica is keeping a list of who works at #DOGE. We’ve also been reporting on who’s in charge. Is it #ElonMusk, his lieutenants, or a bureaucrat named #AmyGleason? 📰: @chrisbing.bsky.social, Avi Asher-Schapiro and @anniewaldman.bsky.social 🎥: @josesepulveda.bsky.social

I don't particularly care--nor should the Democrats--whether or not protecting trans people is popular in the heartland. Even if it alienates the "moderates," it's the right thing to do, and the Democrats should make every effort to do it. Sometimes what the people need is to be led and not lead.

Certainly someone with better technical know-how than me should be able to identify this ICE agent who was the first to put his hands on Rumeysa Ozturk in the commission of her kidnapping on Tuesday. Reporters should certainly want to question him about his involvement in this.

Trump & Musk are enemies of Pennsylvania farmers: Trump administration drops funding for Pa. farmers who help food banks. Shapiro moves to reverse it penncapital-star.com/briefs/trump...

Flowers appearing in the desert are a sign of hope and proof of the existence of beauty in hostile climates.

Hey, an occasional reminder: Should you be fighting fascism here in the US? Yes, you should! Are you the one who decides how best you can do that? Yes, you are! Should the people who decide that you're not doing it right (i.e., the way they want you to) fuck off into the sun? Yes, they should!

This really needs to be played every time Trump, Musk, Vance etc appear on tv now: Kill the Poor - The Dead Kennedys youtu.be/3zi3ECjw9ro

Lynx and I found ourselves at the doorstep of the Punk Rock Museum, so naturally we had to visit! #punkrock #punkrockmuseum #lasvegas

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

All hail Artemisia Gentileschi!

Might save a life.

My conversation with @natsecguy.bsky.social of Americas Society/Council of the Americas about the dire current situation in #Haiti and what the future might hold. Please watch and share as you see fit. youtu.be/qftgiCZZpnk

Ski resorts, Yellowstone, Tesla dealerships….I haven’t seen mobs this angry since the Romans killed Caesar.

So what you’re saying is, hold tight?

That reporter really looked at the president of a country being battered by an invading force and asked “but what was he wearing”

Looking for some live music this evening? I’ll be going live on Twitch at 8pm eastern! Come hang out! Www.twitch.tv/ #livestream #livemusic #alternativefolk

Lynx and I hikes the Usury trail today. The view is good all the way up, and a pleasant afternoon was had by us!

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

There is a lot to be concerned about, but today I’m grateful to have been outside on a beautiful day in January where the temperature was about 70F.

Some dear friends are making an album, please check them out!

I've started a blog on my website! Join in the reflections of an itinerant musician as I traverse the country sharing music! #renfaire #alternativefolk #livemusic

I'll be singing this song a lot for the next few years. #alternativemusic #postpunk #originalmusic

A specific joy of this trip will is getting to listen to the rough mixes of my new album! I’m very proud of what I’ve made and am excited to share it! #postpunk #singersongwriter #alternative

One of the great joys of driving cross-country is seeing the change topography, flora, and fauna!

If you want to know how dystopian the U.S. economic model is in 2025, ponder the fact that Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf earns $26 million a year charging people who don't have any money to begin with $35 overdraft fees.

221 years ago today, Haiti struck a blow for human dignity that echoed across the world. A country that has done so much for the cause of liberty cannot & will not perish. Painting: Le Serment des Ancêtres by Guillaume Guillon Lethière (Born Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe, 10 Jan 1760).

Sorry but your thoughts and prayers are out of network

The Arctic Ocean could see its first ice-free day as early as 2027, with a likely window within 9-20 years after 2023. This won’t bring dramatic change overnight, but it marks a fundamental shift in the Arctic’s natural environment—a stark warning about climate change. #ActOnClimate

If all appears to be ash, take hope from the phoenix! #alternativefolk #postpunk #acoustic #originalmusic
