Steve Earle has released this beautiful video of his song "City of Immigrants," which was directed by Steve Buscemi. It's a wonderful ode to a key cause of American greatness. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkRt...

Mother's Day was originally created by social justice advocate, Julia Ward Howe, calling on mothers everywhere to promote the “amicable settlement of international questions, the great and general interests of peace.”

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Boycott Jeff Bezos and his Met Gala.

Disgusting. Despicable.

(Absolutely. It does have to be trotted out every year. Thank you for asking.)

In addition to peacefully fighting for racial, gender, LGBTQ+ (etc) equality, this is where it's at, folks. 👇

Our beloved Artemis II astronauts all look so very pleased to be meeting with donald. (And he's threatening to cut NASA's budget so his oligarch buddies can get all the space contracts, presumably. NASA's budget is less than 1%. We can feed the poor, have health care for all and go to space, folks.)

Tomorrow is the national call for a one day #GeneralStrike if you're able. No school, no work, no shopping (especially at big box stores/national brands. Locally owned stores only, if you must).

SCOTUS is corrupt & racist AF. 🤬 (Save for Kagan, Sotomayor, & Jackson, of course.) Chief Justice Roberts' legacy: being the worst chief justice in the history of ever. Worse than the horrible, infamous Chief Justice Taney (of the horrible, infamous Dred Scott decision). The. Fucking. Worst. 🏆🥇

Terrific take on the intellectually bankrupt use of "both sides" by the lazier members of the corporate media.

Shame on the White House Correspondents' Dinner attendees. Support independent media.

Jimmy Kimmel doing the "Alternative White House Correspondents’ Dinner" comedian roast. It's so funny. Watch. 😆😂😂 (And shame forever to every journalist who attends the real one. You're yet again legitimizing donald and so are hugely complicit in our current shit show.)

🔥 Extremely wise words from @adamkinzinger.substack.com Those of us who want real change have a responsibility to ourselves, to each other, and to our democracy to change *our* behavior in real ways that create that change. This one is a biggie, imo. Pls don't ignore it.

This is great! 😂

It's the only one we've got. Earth Day

My Santa Fe neighbor, J6 coup memo author, and all-round despicable human, John Eastman has finally officially been disbarred forever!!!! 🥳🍾🎉 We peacefully protested at the end of his street nearly daily for over 13 mos, demanding justice. It's finally here!!!

Making the wealthy companies (and individuals) pay their fair share of taxes could go a long way in providing health care, housing, etc. for the rest of us lowly working stiffs. #TaxTheRich

Part of our peaceful resistance is to actively support others also doing great work. @moreperfectunion.bsky.social is one of those orgs and they've launched an organizing arm on campuses to engage students. Let's all help spread the word. @mpuniversity.bsky.social

This is what government can look like. And it's up to you and me to vote leaders into office who will truly work for every day people. (And to primary/vote out folks who won't.)

The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.

Hungary! So happy for them! Our turn soon...

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

Lots of discussion after the Eric Swalwell sexual assault allegations. So, I'm re-upping this piece I wrote during the E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald Trump rape trial for survivors and for folks who may question survivors.

I already miss these lovely, brilliant humans. Integrity, indeed. Artemis II 😍🚀🌕👨🏾‍🚀👩‍🚀👨‍🚀👨‍🚀

Home safe and sound. Thanks for everything, Artemis II crew. 😍🚀🌕🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀

This is so well done. 👌

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

I have a platonic crush on all four of the Artemis II astronauts. What a salve they and their journey around the moon have been during these bleak times here on Earth. 😍🚀🌕🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀🧑‍🚀

Today is day 127 of the ICE occupation of MN. ICE is still here. Neighbors are still being abducted. So we’re here too. Still carrying whistles. Still standing watch in our neighborhoods. Still doing mutual aid. Still fighting for ICE OUT EVERYWHERE.

This all day long. 🔥

THIS IS FUCKING EXHAUSTING

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

HEADS UP SANTA FE! What: Emergency protest against donald's insane threat to blow up Iran Where: The Santa Fe Plaza When: 4pm, Tuesday 7 April

Seriously, folks. This isn't politics anymore, and hasn't been for a long while. It's about morality. Is threatening to kill people to get our way who we want our country to be??? #Iran

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Earthrise *sigh* (The last Earthrise photo was some 58 years ago.) Artemis II 😍🚀🧑‍🚀🌕

#ArtemisII 😍🧑‍🚀🚀🌖

And the world cried along with the crew when they named a crater after Reid's wife, Carroll, who died from cancer in 2020. (FWIW: I want health care for all, too. But, NASA ain't the reason we don't have it. You're confusing NASA for the billionaires paying no taxes as they rob us blind.)

Artemis: we have three petaflop-class computers—Pleiades, Aitken, and Electra—to help calculate trajectories & the Trans-Lunar Injection burn period. Apollo: we had a handful of Black ladies who were good at math

Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Dear Humans, If a Dem candidate for 2028 is not running first on EXACTING SWIFT AND WONDERFUL JUSTICE on the war criminals in this administration, then you must join with me in throwing that candidate into the lake of fire. Thanks, God

Happy Easter to all my peeps.

ATTN LOS ANGELES:

Good Friday (to you all)

Don’t let this go by unnoticed
