The ICE shooter has to be prosecuted. No lies and obfuscating facts that we can see in the video can't be disputed. This asshole shooter is guilty, period, and has to face justice. WTF!

Sometimes articulating with a huge vocabulary still can't adequately express the deep outrage we feel when law becomes lawlessness and murder. Sometimes we just have to say fuck these guys, and get on with peacefully replacing the politicians who allowed this abject tragedy! #MinnesotaICE, #ICE

Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer

@jojofromjerz.bsky.social Enough is Enough! People are saying that Trump’s puppeteers (Heritage Foundation, etc) will be his downfall. Let’s use the hashtag #AskWhy to challenge this and other examples of their incomprehensible ignorance.

#Trump is a moron. This attempted destruction of democracy is designed by Project 2025, Curtis Yarvin, Peter Thiel and their coterie of frightened bigots and reactionaries. They’ll be defeated by peaceful rejection of their ignorance. #Democracy, #Politics, #trumpisanationaldisgrace

And let’s compile a list of established and emerging artists who we believe are empathetic to specific issues that we can work to promote together and influence politicians to support or get out of the way (we’ll demonstrate the power of our votes). See the link in the essay to add artists or reply.

How To Rescue America, Influence the World, and Save the Rudderless Music Industry MUSIC AND POLITICS and the SYNERGY of DYSFUNCTION

Music has a responsibility to inspire us to think and act. This is mandatory reading for the many in the comatose music industry who we have hope of awakening, and for those who simply need inspiration. Silence is complicity.

#BobVylan,#Kneecap When we exhorted musicians to advocate for social issues, we stated that facts are essential and hyperbole dangerous. The horror in Gaza must stop now. Inciting antisemitic rallies is abhorrent and not a solution. This is a dismissible act using ignorant tropes for attention.

#Trump is a lame duck, mentally challenged sociopath caring only about himself. No loyalty. #GOP politicians cowering rather than standing up will lose seats and cement their reputations as craven, feckless morons for the pain the Big Bullshit Bill will afflict. Go viral! Call your representatives!
