Thank you Rep. Leigh Finke for your message of hope. I marched for you today!
Great to see so many march and protest in frigid temps to stand up and let their voices be heard. Honored to be there with everyone 🙏 THERE IS HOPE

So Trump delays tariffs in Mexico…perhaps he saw this FDA chart and realized making America hungry again might backfire. The mass deportations will certainly impact our food supply and economy, but this would put it on steroids.

“DEI is not a threat it is a gift. The more voices the more powerful the sound…as you see tonight music is the unstoppable language that connects us all.”

TOMORROW: Let’s talk about how we can take action against Trump’s illegal power grab. We’re teaming up with @moveon.org and @workingfamilies.org for a conversation on fighting back. RSVP now: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

“The crops are all in, and the peaches are rotten
The oranges are all packed in the creosote dumps
They're flying them back to the Mexican Border
To save all their money then wade back again.”

- Excerpt from “Deportee” by Woody Guthrie.

Bruce Springsteen sings it here.

Danish political leader:

"Dear President Trump, listen very carefully."

Greenland has been part of the Danish kingdom for 800 years. It’s an integrated part of our country. It is not for sale.

Let me put it in words you might understand. Mr. Trump, fuck off."

This aired 7 years ago. It is so appropriate today.

I know people are tired and scared but I hope that we start to bring back this same kind of outrage into shows and that those with a widespread voice use it to call out injustice.

“I may not always love you,
But long as there are stars above you,
You never need to doubt it,
I'll make you so sure about it.”

Take a listen to Chordata Bytes I by Imogen Heap and Dan O’Neill.

In this incredible piece they use the growl of a tiger as a bass line and additional voices from a Harris Hawk, Northern Pygmy Owl, Jaguar, Leopard, Ocelot, and Spotted Hyena.

“We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope.”

Reading the incredible “Faith, Hope and Carnage” by Nick Cave and Seán O’Hagan.

“I think music has the ability to penetrate all the f*cked-up ways we have learned to cope with this world - all the prejudices and affiliations that basically amount to a kind of layered suffering.” - Nick Cave

Very excited to join the ranks of the #BlueSky world. To start things off, here is a photo of my sweet dog Theophilus (theo). Hope everyone is doing well 🩵
