My new song "Jiminy Cricket" is out now on all streaming platforms.

I should be happier, but this song shouldn't exist.

When I wrote it last year it felt like a warning, and now it's a documentary.

By this point I should have enough Soros bucks to buy an election.

I've had some amazing tips in the past, but this one tops them all! Expensive bourbon, weed, art, wads of cash, none of them compare to a firefighter's challenge coin. Not exaggerating when I say it brought a tear to my eye.

Tattooed my cousin with the ashes of his brother, who was taken too soon by #ALS. For Sean, for his brother, for his wife and two kids, for our family, we remember you now and forever ❤️‍🩹 #Tattooing is a ritual, and this is the proof.

We live in a society where merely existing is consent to be surveiled. It shouldn't be this way, but it is.

Change is possible, but it starts with us.

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

Millions of Americans have been tricked into being terrified of immigrants supposedly taking jobs, but are perfectly fine with #AI actually taking jobs.

I'll be taking part in a peaceful protest performance action downtown Traverse City tomorrow from 5:30 to 6:30pm. #tcmi

We're asking anyone who sees us to please take pictures or videos and share them to their social media feed, or dm them directly to me.

We must resist.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Donald Trump isn't leading America. He's leading a faction trying to take over America.

Look at what ICE is doing in communities across America... If only there was a word for the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby bring about a particular political objective. 🤔

No one thing ends this. What doesn't end this is doing nothing.

He declares he hates his opponent, lables those who criticize him as terrorists, and declares war on his own cities. At what point will you speak out?

This is not normal. This is not America.

Kushner and the Saudis are buying #EA #ElectronicArts. This is more than a boycott, it's a goodbye. ❌️🎮

There is more evidence on Trump's Epstein connection than there is on Tylenol and Autism.

No, seriously. I'm fine. You should see the other guy.

The moment you see something, photons from it hit your eyes. You're not seeing that thing "out there," you're seeing it on your eyeball. In a sense, you're touching everything in the world with your eyes.

Suddenly, "don't look at me" makes a lot more sense.

Is this the love that he speaks of? Smells more like cologne a rich man reeks of.

Jimmy Kimmel was suspended by ABC after pressure from the United States government. This is a direct attack on the First Amendment.

Everyone who values freedom of speech should be outraged — and they should speak out.

It's not about being right every time. It's about learning from when you're wrong.
