Lover of the real, the gentle, the artistic, the generous. Singer/Songwriter/Performer/Presenter and lapsed educational administrator and technologist.
I want to recognize the hardworking reporters at the LA Times who are doing a great job covering the Trump-induced conflict in LA. Despite my frustration with the current ownership of the paper (which I’m sure much of the staff quietly shares) they are out there telling the real story. Thanks!
This is downtown LA, where immigrants come to build a life. If it looks like the 3rd world nightmare to some, it’s because they are blind to what they are seeing. With the false narratives around immigrants right now, please share a bit of truth. www.latimes.com/california/s...
Commentary: Trump detests the very thing we love about L.A.
Trump and his allies are trying to paint Los Angeles as an out-of-control war zone taken over by brown-skinned criminals. The immigrants who call downtown home don't agree.

Commentary: The insurrection that wasn't, and other Trump fantasies
President Trump has sent the National Guard into Los Angeles, claiming the city is in chaos and rioters have taken over. Meanwhile, Angelenos continue to brunch.

This was the lighting and bakground test setup that @trillianstars.bsky.social and I did prepping for @mikebermanmusic.com's album cover photo. Inspired, in a really vague way, by the song "Wonderland" on his upcoming album. We shot this back in October.
