Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

The willow is too close to the house.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

Republicans are the party of chaos and catastrophe.

No one could have predicted…

People identifying as christian while ignoring christ and his teachings is a strange thing indeed.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires.

Celebrate the fucking wins.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

The lights are all blinking red.

It’s all just conspiracy shit beamed down from the mothership.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty. ~Thomas Jefferson

A fool as well as an oath-breaker.

Let’s not be the monsters we hate.

Beware of advice from anyone for whom Democrats are “they” and not “we.”

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

“Until such time as the world ends, we will act as though it intends to spin on.”

Too often we hand the biggest microphones to the cynics and the critics who delight in declaring failure.

“A king is only a king if we bow down.” – Rev. William Barber

If you voted for Trump, you don’t get to speak about ethics, morals, or rule of law.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

And she’s on tour, too.   Still too soon for me to be tempted by a very  indoor venue, assuming there were tickets to be had.   But these days, I’m just happy to see Happy Birthday! instead of R.I.P. on the Twitter timelines…

    Saw her when she opened for Hell Freezes Over tour. My friend tried to be late so he could just catch the Eagles; I told him for $75, I wanted both good acts.

    Glad to hear she’s still going strong. She was a wonderful role model when my daughter came out at age 15.

    I dragged my not-yet-Spousal Unit to our first Etheridge concert when we still lived in Michigan, and she was an ‘up & coming folk rocker’ doing relatively small venues. Then there the big outdoor-arena show in Foxborough (MA) when Our Little Secret was released… she wasn’t *quite* out of the closet at that point, but the audience was at least two-thirds women, and Spousal Unit got death stares from a few of them…

    Saw her again in Lowell, on her recovery tour (I Run for Life) , and most recently at Tanglewood, the summer before the pandemic, with the Boston Pops doing backup.

    (Pretty sure there were a couple other shows, but memory fails. And then there was the 2018 concert in NH where we had tickets, but Spousal Unit’s favorite brother decided to get married in Michigan that weekend, sigh… )
