#iceisprettigood just did my #dailychore callin reps using @5calls.org
i won't be the guy to try n convince anyone that any 1 action taken alone is perfect. poopoo to either/or thinking.
takes 2 min of temporal currency so why not test the theory by actually calling

Confession:
I love 90s techno.
I joined my @oversightdemocrats.house.gov colleagues, CA Dems, and LA officials in LA to hold a field hearing on Trump's Mass Deportation Machine, how the Admin is eroding due process protections, detention conditions, and the impact of increased ICE actions on cities like Oakland and LA.

Thank you @thisismissem.social — I’ve been looking for this kind of information 🙏
waiting to hear about a movement to pay taxes instead into a people’s corporation // tax strike of some kind … I know it’s not a simple calculus but yep yer analogy feels spot on. Billionaires paying practically nothing. It’s nutso
I don't know man. At this point, paying taxes feels like giving a bully your lunch money so they can hire more bullies to steal your lunch money.
I am deeply honored to receive the endorsement of @bendthearc.bsky.social, , their first ever in a mayoral election.

Slow down & listen for truth at in the paradoxical

Oh and the Epstein files should really be released, n’est-ce pas?
The real headlines are ICE human trafficking & last habitable part of Gaza being wiped out
but wow the violent / strong opinions on the latest distraction…
I never understood that phenomenon.
Slow down? Long game?
Gerrymandering, human trafficking.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
Adam Boyd, a 33-year-old attorney, quit the legal department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement last month, The Atlantic reported.
Yes! The Ethics and Journalism Initiative at NYU just ran my piece about guidance from @subbuvincent for writing better, fairer headlines. Julie pinpointed a classic headline writing failure. ethicsandjournalism.org/2025/07/01/h...

Music choice couldn’t be better
THIS is my needed pace as a musician:
GEOGROUP. CORECIVIC.

☑️ check mutual funds /investments for any
☑️ talk to strangers
☑️ find the others
☑️ make art

“Higher than ever” haha. doesn’t mean much 🧮
In grade 10 English we had a great series of classes on different types of advertising semantic tricks. It stuck with me.
Eg. 3% of Albertans want to leave & previous polls said 2% = voila! “higher than ever”
PS: I vote California/Alberta swap 😜
*hear 🙈
