A major win! A federal court in Texas today temporarily blocked the Trump administration from building a border wall and other infrastructure across the state’s Big Bend region. The fight isn’t over, but this is a big step toward protecting Big Bend!

It’s been a long time since I’ve actually played San Francisco proper, after playing our usual shows at Berkeley’s Greek Theatre, Oakland’s Fox Theater, the beautiful Mountain Winery in Saratoga and other Bay Area venues over the last few years.

🚨 Anyone who purchases one of these Steinway pianos 🎹 is complicit with the traitorous grifting deceitful corruption of the PedoFelon administration. This is enraging & abhorrent to the great musicians, singers & artists who gave memorable performances with them. #Pinks #Voices4Victory

Well, he got drunk, he got in a car knowing he was drunk, and he endangered the lives of others doing so. He could have killed someone. A grown ass man with enough money to have a personal driver decided to drive drunk. No sympathy for him. Sorry. And I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.
