The new Luna Mesa EP has been released.

Five songs. Track three, "I Watched You Choose" was written just after the 2024 election. Dunno how well that one will be received but any support on YouTube is appreciated.

Today’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay. Listen to these Holocaust survivors. They’ve come together to send you a message that you won’t be able to forget.

I’d love to say never again, but it’s happening. Here, in the fucken USA.

Open your eyes. Stop this 💩 now.

"DRUM IN⚡️ICE OUT
Activism comes in all forms. No act is too big or small. These absolute rock stars striking & making noise on the stone arch bridge in -15°F weather have more cajones than all these 🧊fu¢ks combined.

ICE OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS NOW🖕🧊🥁"

Here's a rooftop view of the Empire State Building, taken about an hour ago, during the 'Blizzard of 2026'. And a shot of what it normally looks like, from a couple years ago (that's the dragon from House of the Dragon at the top).

Apparently, Marilyn Monroe had a thing for Lincoln. I had no idea, which is weird cause I like them both (probably for different reasons). It was more than a thing actually. More of an obsession. She carried around a photo of him with her, collected books about him, and had his picture over her bed.

"Father has seizure as ICE agents attempt to take his child away from his family."

Had this reposted on my page for a while but deleted it over the holidays because I thought it was too disturbing. I'm putting it back now because it's a necessary reminder of what we're dealing with. Pass it around.

The Renee Good Cover-up Arrived Before Renee Good's Ambulance
Republicans used to say “Don’t tread on me.” Now it’s “tread all over, officer, & thanks for not killing me.”

Watching the Abraham Lincoln docudrama on Prime, I thought I'd share some photographs from my trip to DC in 2011.

Included here are pictures from Ford's Theater, as well as of Booth's gun, and a pillow Lincoln rested on afterwards at the Petersen house - across the street from the theater.

After a broken shoulder, chronic pain & then replacement surgery in 2021, I played my first gig in over 30 years. All things considered it went well. Good to be back. Am I back? Probably not. Still a lot of pain & I'm likely on borrowed time. But still enjoyed it.

Just watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein on Netflix. Beautiful film. If you need an escape from our world, go to this one. Just for a bit. Very well done. I hope for a sequel with Mia Goth as the Bride.

I did the No Kings march here in New York City. Had a great time. Filmed a bit of it and edited some of the footage into this video, with new music from Luna Mesa. The song, "I Watched You Choose" was written just after the 2024 election...

The operative word here is "emergency". Think about that. Vance is trying to sound reasonable, but these malevolents don't want people suffering life threatening emergencies to be treated. Trillions in tax cuts to billionaires while citizens navigating over bodies in the street would be acceptable.
Vance: "There's a lot of emergency healthcare at hospitals provided to illegal aliens. That was funded by the federal govt. We turned off that funding because of course we want citizens to benefit from those hospital services, not to be taxed & then have those hospital services go to illegal aliens"

River Phoenix - musician, actor, environmental & animal rights activist - would have been 55 years old today. After River died, I stopped eating or wearing animals. I decided that since he didn't have the chance to change the world, he could at least change me. That was over 30 years ago now.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back
