Bob Dylan - Masters of War (original) YouTube video by Bob Dylan

Can’t stop thinking about this one today.

“Come you masters of war
You that build the big guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks”

#BobDylan #MastersOfWar

That was absolutely wonderful and joyful and I loved every second of it. Just perfection. Well done, #BadBunny. #SuperBowlHalftime

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.

Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.

Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.

Get them out!

Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.

Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.

All Black. All doing their jobs.

“The government’s arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are naked attacks on freedom of the press. Two federal courts flatly rejected prosecuting Lemon because the evidence for these vindictive and unconstitutional charges was insufficient, and Lemon has every right to document news and inform the public. Instead of accepting that humiliating defeat, the government has now doubled down. “These arrests, under bogus legal theories for obviously constitutionally protected reporting, are clear warning shots aimed at other journalists. The unmistakable message is that journalists must tread cautiously because the government is looking for any way to target them. Fort’s arrest is meant to instill the same fear in local independent journalists as big names like Lemon. “The answer to this outrageous attack is not fear or self-censorship. It’s an even stronger commitment to journalism, the truth, and the First Amendment."

"News outlets across the political spectrum need to loudly defend [independent journalists Don] Lemon’s and [Georgia] Fort’s rights. Journalists are not making themselves the story, Trump is.”

Thank you Dave Matthews.

“Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been gone long ago
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?”

Written about Kent State but could easily apply to Minneapolis right now. 💔 #ReneeGood #AlexPretti #StandWithMinneapolis

MLK Jr: "There is nothing new about poverty. What is new is we have the resources to get rid of it. The rich must not ignore the poor because both rich and poor are tied in a single garment of destiny." We must "civilize ourselves by the total and immediate abolition of poverty."

John Prine That's How Every Empire Falls YouTube video by 666Binky

“A bitter wind blows through the country
A hard rain falls on the sea
If terror comes without a warning
There must be something we don't see
What fire begets this fire?
Like torches thrown into the straw
If no one asks, then no one answers
That's how every empire falls”

I got to see them a few nights ago in Columbia, S.C. Such a profoundly moving experience. Praying for their safety and well-being throughout the remainder of this journey. #WalkForPeace

I got to see him and the venerable monks last night at their evening rest stop. It was a magical, moving experience. Watching their journey has been a balm for my heart and soul. I hope they will all be safe and well throughout the rest of their journey. #WalkForPeace

Preach! Thank you for your service to our country, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social. You and Gabby are incredible public servants.

"It isn't just in distant galaxies that strange, unreasonable things are happening. Unreason has crept up on us so insidiously that we've hardly been aware of it. But think of the things going on in our country which you wouldn't have believed possible only a few years ago." A Wind in the Door

Donald Trump has multiple indictments in the United States for crimes against the US government. And also pardoned top drug dealers.

Tell Congress: No War With Venezuela The Trump regime has been amassing forces in the Caribbean as it threatens war against Venezuela. Over the past few months, they’ve bombed small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific that they claim were...

The Constitution is very clear: War powers belong to Congress, not the White House.

Contact your senators and demand that they check the regime’s lawless violence — or there’s no telling where this will end.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

Last day of winter break. I’m really sad it’s over, and also very grateful to have had time to rest and recharge a bit. What better way to start this last morning of the break than an outdoor walk. #welcome2026 #hellojanuary #wintervibes

We’ll see, but I’ll take it :).
