I'm a musician, trekkie, gym rat, and political junkie. I enjoy writing music, especially for choirs, and I think that making music together is one of the best ways we can heal our world. 🌈🍉

For my first post, I'd like to share my musical response to the first Mango Mussolini administration. It's about the fragility of hope (aka democracy), and it asks the performers to choose between two final cadences: unison or dissonance. So far, no one has chosen unison. youtu.be/seTjwOpuQlo?...

My newest composition is now available. It features a haunting text by Herman Melville and it's lessons seem especially appropriate given our current political climate. #choirsky

ICE is destroying this country as it destroys each deported person's family.
Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

Sayed Naser served as a U.S. military interpreter in Afghanistan. Now he’s being deported.

The Taliban assassinated his brother and kidnapped his father. All because he helped us.

Why are the feds trying to deport him, even though his asylum case is still pending?

Not justice, it’s a betrayal.

Coral reefs support 25% of marine species.

Coral reefs have dropped by 50% since since 1950.

Don't let anyone tell you this isn't a crisis.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

Welcome to hell. Formerly known as the United States.
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Let me tell you all you need to know about today's SCOTUS decision. 6 depraved neanderthals decided that 80% more trans kids should kill themselves in 20 states.

If you're OK with that, then I hope your seat in hell is extra hot.

I've debated whether to highlight this case, because I don't want to be like those who shall not be named. I'm looking for evidence that leads to proof one way or the other, not just evidence that confirms my suspicions. I'm skeptical, and this is very early.

More martyrs in the battle for America's soul. May their memories be both a blessing and an inspiration.

We are known by our fruit, and this is the fruit of Republican policies. When Republicans win elections, people die.

Is anyone surprised that a Republican would murder a grandfather in the name of pursuing power?

If so, then you haven't been paying attention.
Abelardo Avellaneda-Delgado was healthy when he entered Lowndes County Jail. He died while en route to ICE’s Stewart Detention Center less than four weeks later, leaving his family in shock.

Medical experts question the initial timeline of Avellaneda-Delgado's death given by ICE officials.

The Nazis have come to Minneapolis, wrapped in a flag and carrying a Bible. Just like the prophecies foretold.
I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE.

Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it.

Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

The United States now has a concentration camp thanks to the Republicans. Will they continue down the road Germany paved in the 1930s, or will they repent?

Only time will tell, but my money is on them continuing to drive the train toward the cliff.
PRO PUBLICA: Of the 238 men sent to an El Salvador mega prison, only 6 had prior violent crime convictions.

0 were on the gang member list.
130 had no criminal history.
32 had minor offenses.

All 238 thought they were being sent back to Venezuela. www.instagram.com/p/DKcjM7FPhz...

Before you open your mouth to ask about straight pride, read this story. This is why we need pride month, and we will continue needing it until murderers like this one (and all who make excuses for them) are forever removed from the face of the earth.
This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.

No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.

Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."

THIS is why Pride is important.

When you live one Supreme Court decision away from your love becoming a crime, we'll give you a month. Until then, HAPPY PRIDE! 🧵

GOP claimed that COVID contact tracing was “government overreach.”

They said that background checks violated freedom.

They wanted to ban data collection about gun violence.

But now they have hired Palantir to track us all.

This is the machinery of a surveillance state, run by billionaires.

4-year-old Bakersfield girl facing deportation could die within days of losing medical care - Los Angeles Times

Don’t ever tell me that Christians support the GOP. There is nothing Christian or Christ-like about this. Just plain old cruelty and callousness:
