@drbecky_ I wonder if you could give your spin on something PhysicsGirl just posted about galaxies and the speed of light. It's great to see that she's back and posting, but i was a bit confused by her explanation.
@whatsuptucson anyone know what's up with the helicopter that's been circling the Eastside all day. Two hours this morning, now 1-1/2 hours this afternoon. FlightRadar24 says it's Army.
@SpiritLabsInc@thedailybeast lol, nobidy's crying here. I can guarantee that the buffoons name will not stay on the building. Personally it strikes me as odd that he would even want his name on it since The Kennedy Center is a national memorial. You have to be dead to be memorialized.
It can't have been easy to give up an opportunity of a lifetime to perform at The Kennedy Center. That is until Trump goes and tarnishes it by sticking his name on it.
I’ve canceled my scheduled performance at the Kennedy Center on January 14, 2026.
I don’t have much power, and I don’t run with the big dogs who do. I’m just a folk singer from Alabama, slinging songs for a living.
Hell, my songs are really just my own diary set to music. They’re not polished or hit songs, but they’re my truth and nobody can take that from me. I’m proud of that.
I believe in the power of truth, and I believe in the power of people. And I’m gonna stand on that side forever.
I won’t lie to you, canceling shows hurts. This is how I keep the lights on. But losing my integrity would cost me more than any paycheck.
When American history starts getting treated like something you can ban, erase, rename, or rebrand for somebody else’s ego, I can’t stand on that stage and sleep right at night.
America didn’t get built by branding. It got built by people showing up and doing the work. And the folks who carry it don’t need their name on it, they just show up.
That’s all I’m doing here.
I’m showing up.
I want to thank everyone who’s reached out, and especially those who sent a surprise Venmo. That kind of kindness keeps gas in the tank and songs on the road, and I don’t take it lightly.
On January 14, I’m planning a live show from home for anyone who wants to watch from their couch. I know money’s tight and travel’s hard right now. Let’s stay connected through the music. Thanks for having my back.

(Edit) Woah. Thanks for the love ya’ll. For anyone that is not familar with my music, please visit my website https://t.co/mQJNH9E9k5

@kyblueblood Please let us know how we can watch your Jan 14 show. I realize the tickets for your Kennedy Center show were free, but I'm happy to donate on your website just for the chance to watch from my own couch - and thank you for taking a stand on this hill.
@SpiritLabsInc@thedailybeast 'Who' isn't at all what's important. 'Why' is what matters. Kristy obviously has a soul, as opposed to the buffoon who thinks he needs to stick his name on everything that others have built. Kristy's integrity has earned my respect and support.
@CybertruckMatt@Angry_Staffer@grok It's not sedition. It's what is expected of every soldier, per the Uniform Code of Military Justice Article 92. Reminding them of that duty is just that, a reminder. No one is being told to disobey orders. All soldiers have a duty to remember My Lai and Wiĺiam Calley.
@CybertruckMatt@Angry_Staffer@grok Well then it's certainly a good thing that Mark didn't tell anyone to commit treason. Reminding them of the oath they took isn't treason.
@robinsonnink@sanderson1611 Not lying. Poor choice of words on my part. I was basically trying to find a clever way to say I no longer attend church. Primarily because of pastors like @sanderson1611, but also because they are politicizing the church. That's not what Christ taught. Paul maybe, but not Jesus.
@robinsonnink@sanderson1611 Forgive me, but I am doing my best to let my light shine. The best way i know how, for fellow Christians and non-Christians alike, is to show them what the true teachings of Christ were. Those teachings don't include rebuking others.
@RealBenLuigi You begin by saying that America is NOT a “nation of immigrants”. But at the end of your post you say prior to 1965 America was 90% European. How do you define 'immigrant'? It seems to me that you're trying to conflate the idea of religion with immigration.
@sanderson1611 You are the modern churches equivalent of a Pharisee. You show no signs of being able to relate the New Testament with the Old Testament. It takes more than cherry- picking verses out of each. What do you believe were the teachings of Christ? What would Jesus say and do?
@AronSilvan4@sanderson1611 If not that, then what is the church (the followers of Christ) called to do? We all are sinners. We all are that "slutty woman". What's your flavor of sluttiness?
@OGB_10@sanderson1611 I am a light to the world. But you do have me realizing that I'm not being a light to the church. Just take a few moments to consider the irony of that.
