🎺 Listen UP! As a fearless hero @stephencolbert.bsky.social opens with “I cried” regarding a vocal harmony w @adamschiff.com — hear this wonderful, beautiful, perfect cover of Quincy Jones by @curtisstigers.bsky.social “Everything Must Change… and music, makes me cry!” 😢

Idaho Shakespeare Amphitheater Curtis Stigers…great show! Highly recommend you check out his next performance this fall. So good 🥰 Find joy…it’s an act of resistance. @curtisstigers.bsky.social

❤️💥🇺🇸 This is one of a few songs stuck in my head lately. What an insanely beautiful rendition of Quincy Jones’ tune… for worse, for better, for always: “everything must change” @curtisstigers.bsky.social “Young become the old, and mysteries do unfold…”

Double.

The national guard’s deployment in Los Angeles sets the US on a familiar authoritarian pathway. History shows the results. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jun/09/trump-police-state-robert-reich

-NEW SONG ALERT- I was born in October 1965 but I didn’t meet my biological father until the summer of 2012. ‘Good To Know You’ is my musical reflection about gaining a father at midlife and learning how to navigate that relationship. Spoiler: It has a happy ending. m.youtube.com/watch?v=m2rt...

@curtisstigers.bsky.social Lord knows there are a million Bob Dylan covers… but up there w Jimi’s all “along the watchtower” & a few others I’m glad to include this. Damn wonderful rendition + performance. I’m still working out the guitar lines. So smooth. Thanks @radiofreeflorida.bsky.social 👊

Cost of extending the expiring Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Both Trump proposals will explode the deficit and be used as an excuse to gut programs that millions rely on. It's reverse Robin Hood.

Watch this yet?

Yeah you gotta read this even if you’re hiding from the news like I am. I’m sorry.

Other than that, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis. The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup. At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Nothing should be "business as usual."

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

2 insurrections, same President.

Dems knew, and talked abt, Project 2025. So hadn’t they prepared a playbook of response before the election.? You know, like just in case?

“Maybe the Democrats think they’re giving him enough rope to hang himself. Bullshit. They’re giving him enough rope to tie the nation to train tracks so he can run us right the fuck over.” michaelianblack.substack.com/p/when-do-we...

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

Trump wants corruption.

Jack Smith is the Robert Mueller of Merrick Garlands. #FuckingUseless

Just want to give that sad, cynical version of me who said that nothing would ever come of the Trump charges a hug and whisper, “You were right.”

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Put a fork in us: America is done.

100%

CRIME DOES PAY.

Douche Alert!🚨

MAKE HIM SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY!!!
