This is the photo call for the show. I am doing right now until Sunday in Los Angeles. Sometimes when there’s a photo call they make you do part of the show, but I forgot my lines even though I wrote my lines so I made some up.

One of my roles in the revolution: give fuel to take a deep breath & know that we’re gonna make it… here’s some fuel: these pictures taken after the LA Sparks game. 🇺🇸 Now go call your representative about something or donate to a place taking care of immigrants

My Great Dream is to Make Art and share the art I make. Whatever you’re art is (making food, teaching, painting, pickleball, dancing) the job of our art is to make the Revolution (of Love, of Progress, of Peace, of the Planet) IRRESISTIBLE. I’ve made a show called OUTDATED- here’s a taste.

Hello name doppelgänger @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social it is my understanding you’ve implied fellow helper Zorhan Mamdani is affiliated with some nefarious folks, if so- Is what you said founded in truth? Real question. Or is he scary because of his refreshing kindness, courage and authenticity?

Zohran Mamdani is standing up to the oligarchy and fighting to make one of America’s most expensive cities affordable for the working class.

If you’re a New York City voter, I urge you to rank him #1 on your ballot by next Tuesday.

Are we really fucking doing this.

Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.
