Commercial photographer and director turning everyday products into showstoppers. From Idaho cow towns to NYC, I’ve mastered bold visuals—and once directed a "Grease" remake starring my siblings. Spielberg’s still not returning my calls

The Real Reason ICE Agents Wear Masks
Face-coverings may work less to protect federal agents from danger than to make it easier for them to do unconstitutional things.

When I saw Liam at the Dilley Detention Center, something was clearly wrong. He was lethargic, not eating, and depressed.
Thankfully, Liam and his dad are back home in Minneapolis with their family.
No child should ever endure this. We will not stop until this cruelty ends.

Don Lemon wasn’t arrested for disrupting a church service. He was arrested because the Trump administration wants journalists afraid. This is intimidation, plain and simple.

Don Lemon’s Arrest Is a Warning to Every Journalist in America
The Trump administration isn’t just enforcing the law—it’s using arrests as intimidation, and the press is the target.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

DHS should be embarrassed that their ICE agent hires are so soft they can’t handle being videotaped, even while masked, so they resort to pepper spraying women at close range.
And we should be proud of the Santa Barbara women who stood their ground anyway.

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year.
Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”
So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

Today, I am joining my colleagues in a lawsuit against the Trump-Vance Administration for illegally blocking us from doing our lawful duty of performing Congressional oversight of ICE detention facilities.
An unchecked executive branch is a danger to our democracy.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.
