@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.

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.

Signs that say:
Resist
Persist
(Rest)
Repeat

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

poem by Wendell Berry 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.

One of the job of artists in times of fascism is to remind us of the persistent beauty of the world, as it is and as it can be. We will not save what we do not love. We cannot create what we cannot envision.

A victory (for now) for climate justice! Climate justice activists have worked for years to stop the dangerous Zenith Energy plant from operating illegally in the city of Portland. Finally the state DEQ is taking it up, and thanking activists for their efforts. www.opb.org/article/2024...

Apparently I didn’t do a good enough job sh!t-stirring on threads, I wasn’t penalized by mosseri like other people there I admire. Gotta do better. PS. Never Going Back! PPS. Zephyr, below, is also anti-fascist, but all the fierceness is covered in floof.

I’ve fallen in love with the western grebe. Elegant, sweet, and curious. This one has been hanging around for a few days on the river here on the Oregon coast. #birds

One of the biggest challenges for emergency management is that people don’t know what emergency management is! To try and help address this I wrote a book for the general public to help explain the system — including the problems with it.

I make bird related art from photos, but sometimes the photos themselves suffice. My first time catch a western grebe on the Oregon coast, my find its way into an art piece at some point. The red eyes!
