I have no expertise in government, but the piece of advice I give most to parents is “meh” - when you’ve got a toddler or a teen who’s trying to stir things up, the best thing you can do is be indifferent. Make sure they’re not hurting anyone and then just shrug. I think the USA did that today.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

Yesterday we recut drums on two songs. Now the recording is completed. On to final mixes and mastering. 2 1/2 years in the making. Lots of outtakes. Pondering the idea of an album release party with the extended lineup; horns, piano, and harmonica.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work!

Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.
briantylercohen.bsky.social Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen.bsky.social · Apr 8
Breaking: Sen. Richard Blumenthal says he plans to place a hold on ALL Trump nominees going forward.

This will force Republicans to hold individual votes to override each hold, which will severely slow down their agenda.

We’re building a #PeoplesMovement.

Today, over 3 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy.

And history shows that when just 3.5% of the population engages in sustained, peaceful resistance—transformative change is inevitable.

Everyone needs to call their representatives & senators to tell them why you oppose the SAVE Act.

@lwvohio.bsky.social, I just called my representative office @repshontelbrown.bsky.social & confirmed that the SAVE Act vote last week was delayed

Where can I find updated information on its status?
When could the SAVE Act come up for a vote in Congress? The SAVE Act is scheduled to come to the House floor for a vote on Monday, March 31, 2025. What can we do to stop the SAVE Act? Two things: 1. Tell everybody– talk about it, share in your social media, put info in your group chats 2. Call your US congressional representative and Senators Moreno and Husted to tell them why you oppose SAVE and how it would impact their constituents. Do both of those things a LOT.

Of course Trump is purposely tanking the stock market. Total economic collapse = national emergency = Trump declaring martial law. The question isn’t whether he is doing this or why, but who will stop him before it’s too late. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If they say yes, calmly walk away.If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present.If you get stopped by a member of the military or any law enforcement office at a protest, you have the right to remain silent or to tell them that you'll only answer questions in the presence of an attorney-no matter your citizenship or immigration status.”Know Your Rights.
