@ecmclaughlin.bsky.social longtime member of your channel. Just thought it would be fun to share that someone planning music for the army band decided to have them walk past him yesterday playing Fortunate One by Creedence Clearwater. I think it’s a wonderful stealth troll.

@wajali.bsky.social might be fun for someone with a bigger platform than me to note the song choices for the army marching past him yesterday. Like Fortunate Son by Creedence Clearwater. Not an accident IMHO.

Hey! @maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @msnbc.com someone should point out that the army marched past him to Creedence Clearwater’s Fortunate Son. Not an accident.

The army marching past the wanna be dictator to the tune of Creedence Clearwater’s “Fortunate Son” is a vibe I can get behind.

NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...
Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

Just sharing signs I’m making for tomorrow in Portland. Simple stencil technique, imperfect and homely, in the best way.
Also, rest is resistance too.

This whole thread is important.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Y’all remember that all of these actions by TFG are all planned, written, and executed by the Federalist Society, right? He’s just their sock puppet in power until he’s no longer useful. Watch for that moment, it may be sooner than we imagine. #Project2025

The Real Work
It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,
and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.
The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.
