youtu.be/QwnJJZ1kGjU?... Charleston WV. We got Rank Stranger, and one of my favorite Doc tunes, Greenville Trestle High. I'm a sucker for a train song and good, tight harmonies. A happy crowd, a killer light show, and an expert at the soundboard were icing on the cake. I'm still smiling.

I'm tired. Tired of Trump and his minions treating the American people like we are expendable employees in a corporation trying to downsize so that the CEO's can get a huge pay raise. We are not expendable! We are human beings. And we vote! The fight has begun. Blue wave 2026! Who's with me?

I'm seeing Billy Strings tonight, in Charleston WV. It's the first time since he blew up. These photos are from 2018 and 2019, when you could still walk up to the stage and ride the rails. 💙

Yup. You did. And cancer research for children was first to go.

This.

“Ms. Moreno, the daughter of Senator Moreno ... has said that Mr. Miller scalded her chest and stomach by throwing hot water from a skillet at her body; held a gun to her head; pushed her against a wall and hit her head; and fractured their daughter’s collarbone and bruised her shoulder. ...

A little louder for those in the back.

JFC, Ohio needs to vote out republicans, there’s this, then there was the Ohio first energy bribery scandal, the speaker was convicted, hopefully sanity prevails and Ohio votes for Sherrod Brown, a stalwart defender of Ohio working class For years.

Eh oh way to go Ohio...

Weird he can’t bring this kind of energy towards his colleague who is accused of beating up his daughter.

@deadder.bsky.social does it again. 📍🔨

Until and unless Moreno says something about this we should assume Moreno is perfectly ok with this man violently abusing his daughter and granddaughter.

Are you paying ATTENTION, yet?! 👇 Sure hope so. 😎✨

Racists just feel free to be who they really are again.

Truth…

Trump is not American. He's an evil entity. He's a self seeking, greedy psychopath. I long for the day our country and the good hearted people who live here, are absolutely not associated with him in any way. He is not all of us. In fact, he's only representing the worst of humanity. 25%.

I'm with Luke. I'd much rather live next door to immigrant families than MAGA morons.

Absolutely!

Do you agree with President Roosevelt? “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong. is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public." -Theodore Roosevelt 1918

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Yeah we know how Jake Tapper rolls, he’s all about bashing Biden and enabling Trump. Since when did calling it in, become acceptable, oh wait that would be right after 2015 election season. Nothing normal in legacy media any more, it’s all just Trump. Can’t wait for the day when it’s not so.

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

“Spending $700 million to bail out the coal industry is like throwing a lifeline to a ship that has already sunk.”

In the United States, solar energy is outpacing coal for the first time ever

It now provides more than twice the share of electricity that it did five years ago.

Be afraid, child, for there are billionaires among us, and they will trade your life, the tree you hug, the bug you love, the bee you admire, the dream you aspire, to, for more wealth, because that's how soulless demons roll.

Again I say, Mike de Adder is a treasure.

Honestly, dismantle it. It was built by slaves and is tastelessly called The White House. It's opulence is akin to European nobles back in the day. Start again. less grandiose, with a separate building for education on the perils of authoritarian regimes and classes in community and civil discourse.

Make it make sense..

The same Republicans who were hysterical when asked to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID19 have no problem wearing masks to spread their White Nationalist Christian hatred.

Vance's Scathing Trump Op-Ed On Its 10th Anniversary republished by @TheAtlantic shows us this meme is 100% accurate "Trump never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t His promises are the needle in America’s collective vein” www.huffpost.com/entry/atlant...

I didn’t realize until now the Dallas police officer was shoving Ibrahim Hassan, one of the great African football players. America is filled with small men in positions of little power who wield that power with maximum ignorance. Toxic masculinity is America’s brand.
