Vibes were lovely in Venice today.

Huge crowd of protesters peacefully and joyfully lines street in Venice, CA

Protesters cross street at the light, while positive vibes and pro-democracy signs abound.

“Too loud” was a strange moment- and it was such a baller move to have the pyrotechnics not be the set’s closer. But he can do that with a “Hey Jude” singalong in his pocket (among his many other wonders.)

Would listen up to ep seven. If you haven’t watched them yet, I really dig the Todd in the Shadows videos about One Hit Wonders youtu.be/BNF3CbLczaQ?...

Members of the Proud Boys were convicted of seditious conspiracy, the closest crime we have to treason itself

Federal Agent in D.C.: “Proud Boys? They’re great guys. They love the United States.”

This is who Trump is sending into our cities to terrorize Black & Brown communities.

Congratulations and sorry. It’s part of the journey, friend. Ask the cans of food that have been sweltering in the summer heat for months while I intend to donate them to the pound.
I’m never giving up my Overlook Hotel/ Costco huge cans of peaches that I buy for myself, however. Wise investment.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California.

ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · Jun 12

So video of this 2012 interview is popping up on other sites. Feels super relevant at the moment. Wait for the moment Rubio gets pinned to the wall about his grandfather’s deportation order…

Thousands of folks out in ABQ today. Positive energy in the crowd. Enjoyed having a chance to aplaud @repstansbury.bsky.social in person.

A large crowd gathers in Mariposa park to listen to speakers and rally around democracy.

Senator Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov · Jun 12

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

This video shows what happened to Sen. Padilla after they forcibly removed him from Kristi Noem's press conference.

He's given orders from the officers that would cause him to smash his face, then pushed to the ground and handcuffed.

Sad to hear of the death of Clem Burke, wondrous drummer of Blondie. A wonderful human . First photo at a benefit for Howie Pyro where Clem played Sex Beat w/ house band . I really was in heaven singing to his big beat . Now Clem is hopefully on the road to a heaven of his choosing. R.I.P.

Had a couple of lovely evenings hanging out with Dave Allen in Portland over the years. Lovely gentleman. I still hear his voice so clearly. And what a bass powerhouse. Shocked to hear of his passing.
