Still basking in the glow of two wonderful Kathleen Edwards shows this weekend—at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and The Guild in Menlo Park. Happy that she got to play in front of a huge crowd at HSB—the kind that she and her awesome band should regularly be playing for. Please do check out her music!

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

At this point, any Democrat who votes to keep this government open without extracting very serious concessions — RFK’s resignation, ICE rollback, Epstein Files release, etc — will absolutely face a primary challenger who will set fundraising records.

We see it every day. 47 needs to be removed from office for all our safety. Yet they feel no urgency to report that. The thrill of fascism is their drug. Their failure makes them even more defensive.

Loving Kathleen Edwards’ new album Billionaire. I’ve had it on repeat for a few hours. So, so good. If you like Americana, Alt-Country, Folk Rock, and the like, this is your jam. Check it out on your preferred streaming service—or better yet, pick up her album at your local record store.

Compact disc jacket for Kathleen Edwards’ new album Billionaire, released today August 22, 2025. The opened shrinkwrap is pictured with a sticker that says “Produced by Jason Isbell & Gena Johnson.” The sticker also includes a NPR quote: “Edwards’ lyrics resonate long after the music stops.”

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is. In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol. And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

That Ron Sexsmith and his music aren’t more popular and well known is absolutely criminal. His new song Don’t Lose Sight is pure Sexsmith gold. I’ve had it on repeat since it came out. His new album Hangover Terrace will be released on August 29th. youtu.be/G7nqzg811Cs?...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

HELPFUL HINT: Corporations will negotiate their way off the tariff list, raise prices "due to tariffs," use the drop in sales to lay off workers and reap the windfall profits. When the profits dip they'll be able to rehire workers at cheaper rates.

Remember I told you that the plan is to get the “minerals deal” with Ukraine, then “realize” you can’t get the profits on it (infrastructure isn’t there, and… war), so then Russia could “buy US out” of the deal and hereby own it all? Think who actually needs the pipeline to have EU’s dependence ⬇️

Tulip Day in San Francisco at Union Square. Each person could pick eight tulip bulbs, courtesy of our Dutch friends in the Netherlands. Bedankt! #Nederland #TulipDay 🇳🇱

The gathered crowd selects tulips/tulip bulbs from a row of planter boxes in San Francisco’s Union Square.

Customers purchase Dutch stroopwafels at a booth adjacent to the tulip bulbs picking area in San Francisco’s Union Square.
