Protesters, including Walter Masterson, confront Congressman Tom Suozzi, a key Democrat whose vote helped secure passage of the Department of Homeland Security’s $64.4 billion funding bill. @waltermasterson.bsky.social

Today’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay. Listen to these Holocaust survivors. They’ve come together to send you a message that you won’t be able to forget. I’d love to say never again, but it’s happening. Here, in the fucken USA. Open your eyes. Stop this 💩 now.

Jillian Rae "DRUM IN⚡️ICE OUT Activism comes in all forms. No act is too big or small. These absolute rock stars striking & making noise on the stone arch bridge in -15°F weather have more cajones than all these 🧊fu¢ks combined. ICE OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS NOW🖕🧊🥁" video cred: Eric Martin

Here's a rooftop view of the Empire State Building, taken about an hour ago, during the 'Blizzard of 2026'. And a shot of what it normally looks like, from a couple years ago (that's the dragon from House of the Dragon at the top).

Apparently, Marilyn Monroe had a thing for Lincoln. I had no idea, which is weird cause I like them both (probably for different reasons). It was more than a thing actually. More of an obsession. She carried around a photo of him with her, collected books about him, and had his picture over her bed.

The Regime is out of control. #Minnesota

"Father has seizure as ICE agents attempt to take his child away from his family." Had this reposted on my page for a while but deleted it over the holidays because I thought it was too disturbing. I'm putting it back now because it's a necessary reminder of what we're dealing with. Pass it around.

The Renee Good Cover-up Arrived Before Renee Good's Ambulance Republicans used to say “Don’t tread on me.” Now it’s “tread all over, officer, & thanks for not killing me.” johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/the-renee-...

Watching the Abraham Lincoln docudrama on Prime, I thought I'd share some photographs from my trip to DC in 2011. Included here are pictures from Ford's Theater, as well as of Booth's gun, and a pillow Lincoln rested on afterwards at the Petersen house - across the street from the theater.

Happy Holidays, Bluesky. Somehow, we made it through another year. Merry Christmas, and Happy 2026. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPPC...

After a broken shoulder, chronic pain & then replacement surgery in 2021, I played my first gig in over 30 years. All things considered it went well. Good to be back. Am I back? Probably not. Still a lot of pain & I'm likely on borrowed time. But still enjoyed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOyY...

Just watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein on Netflix. Beautiful film. If you need an escape from our world, go to this one. Just for a bit. Very well done. I hope for a sequel with Mia Goth as the Bride. "And thus the heart will break, yet brokenly live on." www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aul...

I did the No Kings march here in New York City. Had a great time. Filmed a bit of it and edited some of the footage into this video, with new music from Luna Mesa. The song, "I Watched You Choose" was written just after the 2024 election... www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Sj...

The new Luna Mesa EP has been released. Five songs. Track three, "I Watched You Choose" was written just after the 2024 election. Dunno how well that one will be received but any support on YouTube is appreciated. Luna Mesa - Stars in Your Eyes www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV26...

The operative word here is "emergency". Think about that. Vance is trying to sound reasonable, but these malevolents don't want people suffering life threatening emergencies to be treated. Trillions in tax cuts to billionaires while citizens navigating over bodies in the street would be acceptable.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

September 11th again. Two shots from my rooftop in the East Village/Lower East Side (before & after), and one from 20 years to the day later...

River Phoenix - musician, actor, environmental & animal rights activist - would have been 55 years old today. After River died, I stopped eating or wearing animals. I decided that since he didn't have the chance to change the world, he could at least change me. That was over 30 years ago now.

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

Juvenile Red-tailed hawk, East Village, NYC...

Nothing we didn't already know, of course... Trump Supporters Report Having Higher Levels of Psychopathy, Manipulativeness, Callousness, and Narcissism www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/trump-supp...

Just got back from an advanced screening of Superman &... I loved it. Much to say but not enough space. 1st act is very strong, 2nd slows a bit, then the 3rd picks up again. Yes, there are a lot of characters, but they are all likeable. Overall, it's unlike any Superman film you've seen before. 8/10

"Cool, Considerate Men" - from 1776 (1972). "Considerate" was a sly replacement for "Conservative". The director has said that after a White House screening, Nixon requested to the producer that this scene be removed. Thankfully, it was saved & restored for the DVD. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxaA...

Forever ageless - always timely. By the HappyTones. "They stand for greed that's unrestrained by shame or pity" www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWzP...

Pretty much.

Visited the Anne Frank exhibition in NYC today, where they built a replica of the Secret Annex in Amsterdam. Everything from Anne's room to the bookcase. Very moving. If you're in the area, definitely check it out. It was scheduled to close in April but has been extended through October.

Jaws was released 50 years ago today - June 20th, 1975. When I visited Martha's Vineyard in 2019, I hunted down and photographed the "Amity" filming locations. Managed to get a couple dozen comparison shots. Here's a shot of the Orca, filmed in 1974, and the same location 45 years later...

Acclimation, desensitization, normalization. Like so many years before. This is how it was done. This is how it will happen again. Step by step. They want you aggressive and impulsive. So they can put you down or put you away. Don't give them that. You are needed.

It's escalating. This is what they want. It's what they've always wanted. It's not just about immigrants, or LGBTQ, or even minorities in general. Broadly, they are at war with the Left. With decency itself. They want to incite you to violence. They want you dead. Be careful. Be smart. It is real.

Thomas Paine died 216 years ago today. Here's a few pictures I took of his place of death in Greenwich Village, NYC & his house in New Rochelle, NY. "Independence is my happiness, & I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, & my religion is to do good."

"I thought you were the party of tolerance" Being a tolerant person does not mean being tolerant of all things. We shouldn't be tolerant of murderers, rapists & other unrepentant abusers. Nor those hurting society with hateful bigotries. To be tolerant of intolerance is not tolerance. It's nihilism

Before E Pluribus Unum appeared on US coins (1795) & long before In God We Trust (1864/1957), there was Mind Your Business (1776). The Continental Dollar, designed by Ben Franklin. Believed to be meant both literally & socially, the message also appeared on the One Cent piece in 1787. My copies:

Rod Serling's Twilight Zone end monologue from "He's Alive" (S04E04) 1963. "Remember it when you hear his voice speaking out through others. Remember it when you hear a name called, a minority attacked. Any blind, unreasoning assault on a people or any human being." www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3ID...

A radical transformation of our way of life is underway. Don’t let anyone gaslight you into thinking this administration is normal.

Martin Luther King Jr., 1961...

Just finished reading The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank. Still overwhelmed. She was a gifted writer. It ends abruptly with "Anne's Diary Ends Here". I wasn't ready for the Afterword. I see now why this book is so loved. If you haven't done so yet, find time to read it. Now, more than ever.

Marx & Lennon The Abkhazia Stamps (I picked this up on eBay about 25 years ago)

If you had told me during my punk rock days in the 80s that I would one day despise *John Lydon/Johnny Rotten (Trumper) and grow to love Bruce Springsteen, I would have thought you were insane. And yet, here we are. *Saw Public Image Ltd four times from 1984 to 1989 www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUms...

You can always change. That's what being human is all about. The journey - to better yourself. You will fail. But never give up. Start again tomorrow. Take small steps. Be kind. Don't beat yourself up over failures. Forgive yourself & improve yourself. It's why you're here. Start today. Never stop.

Okay, I try to follow back, unless... You have zero posts, you are looking for money, you are marketing, you are looking for OF clients, you are a right-winger. Pretty much anyone else is welcome. DMs aren't an issue, just be cool & kind. Otherwise, blocked. That is all. Enjoy the day.

2 Clash, 2 Steel Pulse, and a Sex Pistol...

This can't be said enough

I'd just like to say that I loathe the fact we appear to be getting comfortable with removing the "Junior" from RFK Jr. I know this ship has sailed, but RFK Jr. is not RFK. If you haven't seen RFK's speech following the death of MLK Jr., please find the time... www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoKz...

Dr. Strangelove at least tried to hold his arm down.

40 years ago today - Probably my best concert photograph. Sting at The Ritz, NYC (now Webster Hall). Second of three nights, first venue without The Police, three months before the release of first solo album "The Dream of the Blue Turtles". February 26th, 1985...
