This song has gotten me through some hard times. The Ghosts of Beverly Drive - Death Cab for Cutie #indie #folk #music #dcfc #deathcabforcutie

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Recently, my book THEY CALLED US ENEMY was banned – again – in Tennessee. Book bans are out of control. Huge parts of American history are being restricted.

Here’s the first verse/chorus of something I wrote last week. Ignore the dirt under my fingernail I was in the garden planting and pulling weeds all morning. Lol #folk #music #acoustic #songwriting

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

Three years without the protections of Roe v. Wade. Three years of cruelty. Three years of women denied care, criminalized for miscarriages, and forced to cross state lines in crisis. Three years of the GOP screaming “freedom” while snatching away our bodily autonomy. (1/2)

Take note.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

no accidents

still think this is one of the greatest posts ever made

When the birthday parade list reads like a cautionary guide to history.

Oval Room - Blaze Foley #nokings

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade

We’re honored to report that over 11 million showed up for today’s No Kings protest, and totals are still coming in. Just… wow. WOW 😮! There’s nothing more to say.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

Stay classy, San Diego. #NoKings

Los Angeles. Just wow.

The East Coast has shown up, 2.4 million and counting, with massive turnouts in small towns across the country. Shoutout to the Carolinas, Georgia, and Ohio for showing up strong!

The brave people of the United States are holding massive protests nationwide against the Trump regime, despite threats from the regime and its cult MAGA followers. The people have declared enough is enough, restore democracy, justice, and remove Trump. #3E #NoKings #NoKingsDay

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

If are a blue dot in a red state (I’m in TN) and you are feeling scared and alone, please know you aren’t alone. Feel free to reach out to me if you need a person to confide in. 🩵

I’ve been very sick these past few weeks and just trying to get better and take care of my mental health. My mom is in the hospital after getting her thyroid removed for cancer and she beat ovarian cancer last year too. It’s been a lot. I hope you all are staying sane and safe. 🩷

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:

There was an ICE raid near Broadway in Nashville tonight. My friend’s gig was cancelled because of it. Please stay safe. My heart is so heavy and idk how to help so I’m just going to boost what I hear in hopes that it helps somehow.

Since I haven't posted this in a while, your reminder that if you're arrested in Illinois for protesting ICE, the genocide in Gaza, or for trans rights, I can represent you (in criminal proceedings) pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I take as many cases as I can.

Here’s a cover I’m working on. Vienna - Billy Joel #billyjoel #cover #music #vienna

My view of ICE goons hiding their identity is that these guys are very very aware that what they are doing is evil.

NASHVILLE: “I am shocked. I am mad. I am betrayed.” Councilwoman zulfat Suara on the @TNHighwayPatrol + ICE raids terrorizing immigrant communities in Tennessee. (with @GovBillLee & MarshaBlackburn’s blessing)

Why do you lock your door at night. Is it because you think I'll come in and debate you. Are you afraid of free speech

NASHVILLE Rep. Jason Powell (D) on the ICE/@tnhighwaypatrol raids in his district last night: “Our community is under attack. We’re scared. We want answers… this is a reality in my community now, and it can be in yours too. We must fight back.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJQKvT_...

Here’s a clip of a new one from a couple days ago. Ghosts. 👻 #ghosts #folk #folkmusic #music #originalmusic #art

It's not just Russia, and the sooner US democratic voters accept that, the sooner they'll be able to regain control of the democratic party and remove foreign influence from Israel and other states that enable fascism and protect Trump. Stop being doormats.

My song Buried Bones finally broke 1,000 streams! Its a song about running away from a crazy family and making your own home. open.spotify.com/track/2XaT7C... #country #music #originalmusic #countrymusic

I don’t go out much these days, but today I went to the theater to see Sinners. It was so freaking good. Seriously, I can’t stop thinking about it.

All of this on a weekday we’re in complete awe of you. You always rise to every call to action. You’re amazing, and words can’t express how much we love and appreciate you all.

JD Vance has the chance to do the funniest thing

Not surprised to find out I've lost my job at the graffiti removal company. The writing's been on the wall for a while now.
