“SB 37 is going much further in increasing government oversight of what happens in our classes. So I can only imagine the kind of self-censorship, and then the actual censorship that we experience from the government, is just going to be heightened.”

Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I felt the LOVE all weekend. 🥰

I’m really grateful. Just wow. 🤯

"I get why our leaders don’t want just anyone to get their hands on good daycare. Can you imagine how it would ravage our economy if parents had the brain space to remember they already bought a three-pack of hand soap refills instead of staggering from one purchase to the next?"

I just launched a Kickstarter campaign to bring my debut solo album to life! I have 45 days to raise $20,000 to fund vinyl + CD production and to hire a PR team that can help get this music out into the world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kam...

“Do you believe in God? Do you want a family? Do you like dogs, cats, animals? Do you like gambling? Do you like people watching silence or rambling? Please tell me, can you cook? Ever been called a crook? I’m not trying to leave you shook, but tell me, can I talk to you?” youtu.be/0osh7ejimeE

So glad to see someone finally pointing to the elephant in the room with the big neon sign that says ELEPHANT hanging above it and saying, "Hey, that's a fucking elephant!" in The Press; very surprised to see it in the WaPo of all places. Are editors breaking ranks or what?

My first @acltv.bsky.social taping is officially in the books thanks to my friends at #antonesnightclub. It was an honor to share the stage with so many musicians I admire.

Kam Franklin takes the sound of Houston with her everywhere she goes. As she finishes the next album for her band, the Suffers, and works on her own solo debut, she shares with us her best day in Houston. Read all about it here: www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/bes...

Hooray @kamfranklin.bsky.social! #Houston

How to have the best day ever in Houston, according to @kamfranklin.bsky.social of @thesuffers.bsky.social www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/bes...

ICE says it is investigating the cause of death of 44-year-old Marie Ange Blaise in a Florida detention center on Friday. A local congresswoman says Blaise had complained of chest pains "for hours."

Thank you to the Houston Chronicle for asking me about how to have the best day in Houston! Honestly, I could have written a whole book about this topic. Check it out my answers here: www.houstonchronicle.com/projects/bes...

Last night felt like a dream.

I’m honored to be a part of this incredible project. My version of Barbara Lynn’s “You’ll Lose A Good Thing, with the Antone's 50th Allstars, is now out on all streaming platforms!

I'll be doing my very first Austin City Limits TV taping on Monday, April 29th alongside some incredible blues legends that include Jimmie Vaughan, Bobby Rush, Christone "KINGFISH" Ingram and more. This is a part of the Antone's 50th anniversary celebration, and I'm honored to be a part of it. 🥰🥳🤩

We all need to be doing this.

Nearly a week after an arsonist attacked his residence, Josh Shapiro revealed that he still has yet to hear from President Trump. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

For all of the success I’ve had, I’ve faced even more rejection. As an independent artist, some of the funding I have received for my projects outside of my performances has come from applying to artist grants.

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE. Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

HOUSTON!!!

NEW: The Trump administration pulled funding for research to protect pregnant women from domestic violence, citing it as a “DEI” initiative.

Break it, then privatize it. Building up private U.S. forecasting ability to current NWS levels after such a ruthless and foolish decimation of the NWS will take many years. Billions in costs will occur that would have been avoided had we kept the NWS intact, and many avoidable deaths will occur.

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

It’s so full circle for this country to return to a monarchy.

Drake's label, UMG, has filed a scathing motion to dismiss his lawsuit against them, stating that he’s only suing because he “lost a rap battle” and took legal action to “salve his wounds”

He was about to go on a fucking book tour? At THIS moment? Jesus fucking Christ.

What a week! I had the honor of backing and helping arrange background vocals for @jessicasimpson’s new live show. Her new music is fantastic, and watching her and her team work felt like a masterclass that I’ll never forget. Thank you @tlabarbe for the call. ✨

“We’re just hoping kids with disabilities aren’t going to have nothing left for them.” From the archives, by @josephinelee.bsky.social in 2023: Before Texas, there was Arizona. A look at how their voucher program used vulnerable students to attack public schools.

i know some cis folks on here are at least kinda aware it’s bad right now for trans people in america, but sometimes it’s worth calling y’all back to 2016 when a single “transsexuals have to use the wrong bathrooms” bill cost north carolina the nba all-star game & $400 million. this is normal now.

I’m bringing new music and my solo band to Austin next week starting on Monday night at @empireatx. I’ll be sharing the stage with @iamjmsn.bsky.social Sketch, and more. Looking forward to see y’all out there!
