EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Your School House Rock moment......

"The security of the world is at stake." Well worth watching President Zelenskyy's interview on 60 Minutes www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine...

😲 Worth sitting with this chart for a minute or so

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000. Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600. The US must end its complicity. Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

NOW: Sen. Cory Booker is speaking on the Senate floor and said he intends to hold the floor for as long as he is "physically able" to do so.

LIVE NOW: Sen. Booker’s Senate speech protesting Trump administration www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Nf...

Give it up for the Rock*a*Teens!

I’m playing around with my new airbrush. I forgot how much fun this is.

Stumbled across this gem today at Fantasyland. A top atlanta flyer from 1982, and designed by the guy that would book the Metroplex.

We have overcome near-death experiences before. We shall overcome this one too. Not by denying we are in a constitutional crisis. We are. But we can and will prevail if we face the truth unflinchingly and never abandon the long twilight struggle against evil. open.substack.com/pub/roberthu...

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

Badge of honor.

from senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social chris murphy's recent floor speech, via @davidcorn.bsky.social ... link.motherjones.com/public/38940...

Recent cassette tapes that came in.

Stunned.

And here we go! @chunkletindustries.bsky.social

“In contrast to Trump, Americans say they personally sympathize more with Ukraine than Russia by a 56 to 3 margin…” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We ended up in Jonesboro yesterday.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

It’s still up!

Second badge of honor today!

Badge of honor.

My roux.

A high school band business card. Roughly 1978 vintage. Atlanta. Max went on to be in lobe tan and then 86.

1984. Signed by the whole band. Not bad.

Ultra Lights album up for preorder. This is how many we sold first day. Quite proud.

I win!

Occasionally, I have good ideas with superior follow through. This is not one of those times, but the results should be worth it.

Republicans aren’t hiding anything. Their priorities are written in black and white: trillions of dollars in tax breaks to the rich, while making savage cuts to Medicaid, housing, nutrition and education. The reconciliation bill will make the rich even richer and the poor poorer.

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes. Now they have a friend in the White House.

Lord knows I’m not a constitutional scholar not even a lawyer (and I’ve yet to check in with @kateshaw.bsky.social) but a legal regime in which “you can do crimes if you’re buddies with the president or praise him publicly” is *on its face* a violation the equal protection of the laws.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

So............ I have to teach about the U.S. Constitution today to an introductory level class. How on earth am I supposed to pretend everything is just working normally? Answer: I'm not going to pretend. I'm telling it like it is.

File this under “my process.”

Deep tunnel project set list. Albini forever.

Available in east atlanta at the comic book store.
