Bluesky peeps. Might I suggest 2 songs everyone should check out. We need our poets, writers and musicians to comment on our current times. U2 and Michael McDermott have done just that. Spare 5 minutes and give ‘em both a listen

See the problem here?
Brave men and women troops are going to die in the deserts of Iran because of the Trump-Epstein files. This disheartens me tremendously. We're all still Americans. ✌️💙
MEMPHIS: “Memphis Safe Task Force” (U.S. marshal) caught KICKING A PUPPY 😳 as they arrested a guy for on a drug warrant

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.
Thanks to @markguarino.bsky.social & @chicago.suntimes.com for the coverage of a day I won’t soon forget.
Hi all! Please give this video of the song The Future by #Chicago 's own Michael McDermott a watch. As I've done a hundred times now. It's very, very timely and just the kind of magical art made for/from times like these.

“I won’t forget” ?
Heard a funny description of Trump. “Trump is like like playing Chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is gonna knock over all the pieces, crap on the board and strut around like it won.”

Pt2 the Inspector General Act, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and crucially, the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974, which expressly prohibited presidents from unilaterally withholding congressionally appropriated funds, a law that Trump is currently violating
History offers a roadmap for what American needs most at this moment—a congressional resurrection. The most immediate example: after Watergate, legislators from both parties recognized the danger of unchecked executive power and enacted reforms that lasted generations.
