January 6 was the worst day of my life. But the threat of Donald Trump didnât end when the mob left the Capitol.
Thatâs why Iâm running for Congress: to defend this country, with the full constitutional authority of Congress.
Iâm Harry Dunn. And Iâm ready to finish the job.
This is the plan. Run away/disappear/not tell anyone where I am and go live on my new boat.
Donât try to find me.
The 'up to eleven' scene from Spinal Tap, but instead of a speaker Nigel Tufnel is talking about, it's the man with 6 fingers on one hand from The Princess Bride holding up both of his hands.

Losing loved ones at the holidays sucks. My Dad died 10yrs ago today and 2 days ago we lost Pat Finn, the funniest and kindest actor in the history of the biz. He and Dee Second Cityâd together and he was like family to all who knew him. Sending love to his actual family and his MANY friends.
1st Christmas in 30 years with no kids in the house. Yet @daisytich still woke us up yesterday morning with a FaceTime call and @quincetagram checked in from his honeymoon on the other side of the world. Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day to you and your family, wherever you/they are!
To av or not to tar, that is the question.
Iâve been to 18 but LIVED in 7.
I much prefer reading @stephenking.bsky.social to watching the films based on his work, but that brilliant mashup of IT and THE MUSIC MAN in WELCOME TO DERRY scratched a deep itch in my soul.
This grim-visaged warrior actually got a few laughs in last Monday's CORIOLANUS by the Back Room Shakespeare Project, cut to a fleet & fierce 85 minutes by Sam Pearson (bloody C himself) and performed in Chicago's tiny Hideout tavern. #TheFaultDearBrutusIsNotInOurBars
Loved @questlove.bsky.socialâs film SLY LIVES, especially when Shakespeare holds forth about THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS. Bravo.
Oh look. As of today, I've now been performing with @reduced.bsky.social over half my life. Hey ho.
"Serious actors. No director. One rehearsal. In a bar." That's the Back Room Shakespeare Project's motto and it makes for a unique relationship between actor and audience that @austintichenor.bsky.social writes enhances the power of Shakespeare's work.

Complicating the Narratives in all caps. Below that in smaller font is the date: April 16th. To the right, it reads "Virtual, 1PM EDT" and to the right of that, "Journalists and Educators." At the bottom, it reads, "Revolutionize how you listen."
Usually journalists listen for information. Instead, we must listen to *understand.*
Join journalist and educator Hugo Balta for a virtual introduction to "Complicating the Narratives." It just might change how you source, interview, and report.

Just in case someone hasnât seen FElonâs highly illegal tweet which I sincerely hope gets him Jail Time.
A girl can hope!
Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
Appeals court denies Felon admin request to temporarily resume deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.
Judge Boasberg assigned to the Signal lawsuit.
Omg, so much good stuff finally.
Thank you, Paul Rieckoff!! OpSec was violated.
I don't care how many home runs were made. These were attack plans in a non-scif, non-approved platform.
For your reference, reporters use Signal to receive tips.
The irony is off the chain ridiculous.
Fire all of them now.
If they had any honor or integrity they wouldnât need to be fired⊠they would have all resigned.
Josh Weil is looking good in early voting!
