Thank. God.
Although my stomach is already churning over how Trump will try to turn this into a triumph of his heroics. It’s like an arsonist wanting a medal for the entire house not burning down.
He is, simply, to use his own phraseology, a sad loser.

So the deranged former reality TV star threatens the annihilation of “a whole civilization” at 8 PM tonight.
He’s so into “good ratings” that he plans his illegal warfare by the prime time schedule.
I’m just surprised he didn’t wait another 48 hours for “Must See TV” night.

“The SAVE Act embodies Trump and the Republican Party’s astonishing contempt for the idea that a fair election is one where you can vote without being hassled by the state.”
A MUST-READ: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/o...
You can support Trump.
Or you can support humanity.
But you can’t do both.

“Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada recently described the world that President Trump is dragging us into with this aphorism: ‘The strong do what they can, & the weak suffer what they must.’”

“Pretti & Good aren’t dead because of bad advice. They’re dead because of bad men acting out the script that a bad president wrote for them.”

“Trump appears to be trying to course correct, but he has neither the discipline nor the personnel to truly change…This administration is a reflection of who the president is & what he wants. This White House is not beset by crises. This White House is the crisis.”

Less than one day old, & already a stone-cold classic.
#Springsteen has an eerie ability to write songs that are instantly familiar, even before they’re over.
He’s done it again with the most timely song needed.
EVERYONE needs to hear “Streets Of Minneapolis.”

“ICE and C.B.P. still roam the streets…But surveying the wreckage of Operation Metro Surge—of this reactionary administration’s crushing defeat at the hands of another band of tenacious Northerners—it does look to me like MAGA’s Gettysburg.”

#RIP Garth Hudson, the last living original member of The Band, & a dazzling multi-instrument master in his own right.
Endlessly innovative, he played the clavinet through a wah-wah pedal on #UpOnCrippleCreek & the dense swirling organ on #ChestFever, his signature.

#BlackDog, #RockAndRoll, & #Kashmir.

RIP #JimmyCarter, one of the most underrated presidents & the greatest former president.
He was also a personal hero of mine & a frequent subject of my art.
My first & only solo art show was called cARTer & was all portraits of #Carter.
This was the painting from the postcard made for the show.

Turns out the three branches of government are Legislative, Judicial, & Elon Musk’s ego.

“A Conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward. A Reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A Liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at the behest-at the command—of his head.” FDR 1939 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/ra...
Truman’s words are still 100%, but they’re outdated.
An even bigger difference is that now Republicans will repeatedly lie, cheat, & gaslight just to hold onto power.
& now they will be using that power to punish anyone who disagrees with them.
Did we Nazi this coming?
Take a deep dive into #Harlem1958 (AKA #AGreatDayInHarlem) & check out #Jazz music’s most famous photograph.
& let’s hear it for #SonnyRollins.
Now, let’s track down those kids, as @ScottSandage.bsky.social suggested to me.
It’s a great idea, @NYTimes.com.

Today in 1967, a legendary icon of American music tragically died in a plane crash at the age of 26:
The Great #OtisRedding.
#RockHistory
Today in 1966, #TheWho release their #AQuickOne LP.
The title track is the final song, an expansive mini-opera format that inspired the way to #Tommy & #Quadrophenia.
Their definitive performance of #AQuickOneWhileHesAway was the crown jewel of #TheRollingStones’ #RockAndRollCircus.
#RockHistory
So much for protecting the police.
Today in 1949, #TomWaits was born.
Kinda makes you wanna fall out of the window with confetti in your hair.
#RockHistory
Today in 1969, #MeredithHunter was stabbed to death by a member of Hell’s Angels at The #RollingStones’ free concert on the #Altamont speedway.
Hunter was 18 & the Angels were working security & paid in beer.
The event effectively ended the psychedelic dream of the ’60s.
#RockHistory
Today in 1932, #LittleRichard was born.
Among his many hits are #TuttiFrutti, #LongTallSally, #GoodGollyMissMolly, & #KeepAKnockin’.
Rock as we know it would not exist without him.
“I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!”
