I run music festivals, sing a bit, and hate Trump
So here’s an email I received from a constituent today:
“You will be the first person from Minnesota that I will have contact with since the news of egregious fraud and mob violence broke. I think too many Minnesotans have lost your minds. At this point I want nothing to do with Minnesota.”

I made the study of rising fascism and how art was an essential part of the resistance a central part of my doctoral work 30+ years ago. I remember watching Schindler’s List and so many other movies about WWII. I read Animal Farm and 1984 and Fahrenheit 451.

Landed 45 minutes early. No gate available. Finally get to the gate at what would have been on time, and the jet bridge has a maintenance issue and we can’t get off the plane. I love air travel

He says that the cities are burning and are war zones of crime, drugs, and terrorism. He know because he sees it on TV.
Can someone tell him that Chicago PD and shows like it are fiction? He really doesn’t know.

Happy July 4th. The 249th anniversary of the day we threw off the shackles of an authoritarian madman whose aim was to keep citizens of this land beholden to the monied class, and put down dissent through violence, threats and abusive policies that took away personal autonomy.

My whole life I was under the impression that the Supreme Court was there to protect the rights of the people, the rights of the powerless minority against the abuses of the powerful, of an abusive majority.
That has been utterly turned on its head in the Roberts Court.

There is nothing that justifies the terrorist assassination of Rep. Hortman, her husband, and Sen. Hoffman and his wife. It is no accident that the Trumpist terrorist did this in the day of the pathetic fascist parade in Washington and the nationwide No Kings protests. This is an act of terror.
