American Opera Singer | Producing Artist
Opera in a midwestern city is a lot different from The Metropolitan Opera.

It's a good sign in any moderately sized city to have an opera company. The Art Form is about community, where people from ALL walks of life and trades come together to put on a masterpiece show that speaks to TODAY.

Some guy I know tried to dis a friend of mine who complained about Trump using hunger as a cudgel. He's like, 'I donated half a cow!'

To those who do this ...
Thank You. I think that is badass.
...Annnd this is the definition of Virtue Signaling.

Show no. Dos coming up tonight.

It's not a laughing matter. I celebrate the effectiveness of this work THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE.

We have so much great work to do yet, friends. Art can rebut autocracy.

Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control. They are banking on us not having the resources or the will to fight for voting rights. They want us to be resigned and demoralized while their voter suppression machine grinds on.

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

This fascist story began 3 elections ago, but we clearly haven’t learned from it.

At some point, voters are going to have to acknowledge that by blaming Democrats they empowered fascism.

Things aren’t going to change until we see it.

Demonizing the people trying to help only assists your enemy.

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

That's it.

When DNC polls are down in an authoritarian slide. Meaning - democrats in the center of DNC power do NOT want to DO democracy and fight for us.

Willing or not. It's time for u to go.

Chuck, you fell asleep after the disaster vote. You did an interview and passed out.

V is for violin-

Chuck Schumer did what he thought was right. That's his job. He did it. It was an impossible decision anyway. On one hand destroy the country faster by furlough and on the other ascribe it into policy.
HE LOST THE PERCEPTION BATTLE.

INSANITY!!!
Oh. Elon Musk is calling Senator Mark Kelly, a literal combat vet and astronaut who’s been to space more times than Musk has updated his Twitter bio, a “traitor.”

You’re too busy blowing up rockets, tweeting conspiracy theories, and watching your net worth decline to actually serve your country...
