🎧 Just a reminder: These people are evil grifters without any empathy for anyone. They're also incredibly stupid, narcissistic and laughably bad at running things. A #songwriter's dream. Here's a tuneful take from back at the beginning of our long nightmare: "Gulf of America"

If @schumer.senate.gov can't wrangle his own caucus to defend Americans' ability to access (semi-) affordable healthcare, he must resign. If he won't resign, we need to support candidates who plan to primary him in his next run for Senate.

Tuesday, Aug 12, 7-9pm, join me at Klekolo World Coffee (Middletown, CT) for a cozy night of song. I'll be spinning sonic yarns and professing (emphasis on "sing") progressive politics between handfuls of standards and tuneful takes on the vagaries of love.
