Earlier this morning, President Trump threatened me and a group of service and veteran Members of Congress with arrest, trial, and death by hanging.

Here’s my response:

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

WOW! Protesters created a HUGE human sign on San Francisco’s Ocean Beach reading “No Kings YES on 50” to support California’s Prop 50 and stand up against Donald Trump’s fascist regime

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

An important announcement to the people of New York City.

Such an impassioned speech… Save Soil!

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

“Azerbaijan – Inspired by Nature” is a fascinating compilation by Heydar Aliyev Foundation featuring some of the most spectacular landscapes of this wonderful nation. If nature has to thrive, rich soil is the fundamental. #SaveSoil. Let us make it happen. -Sg

Soil is the place to start for climate action!

[Sadhguru @SadhguruJV]

Just arrived at Baku for #COP29. COP28 was a landmark in our climate action efforts because it brought soil into the center of climate change discussion. COP29 is an opportunity to move into action mode and revitalize soil, which will naturally cascade into climate action, water revitalization, better livelihoods for the world’s poorest and much more. -Sg #SaveSoil #COP29Azerbaijan

...creative life while being constantly on-call. I also look at different strategies and beliefs around caregiving, self-sacrifice, cleanliness and food. And comical generational differences around sex, race, body image -- you name it.

[David Kubicka @DavidKubicka]

We also want to shine a light on challenges for caregivers such as finding life balance, pregrieving the loss of a loved one while they're still alive, dealing with the hairy complexities of family money and the estate, and the struggles to have a fruitful social, sexual and ...

[David Kubicka @DavidKubicka]

We hope that the making and viewing of this short film will be a healing experience for all involved.

[David Kubicka @DavidKubicka]

Caregiving paired with (dysfunctional) family dynamics is something most of us are going to go through at some point. This is something Jonathan lived, and wanted to face, and face with humor. Laughter opens us up for healing.

...the function and dysfunction, runs a tide of unconditional love and acceptance that keeps all grateful to be alive and together, cherishing the moment, and each other.

[David Kubicka @DavidKubicka]

Ultimately, this is a love story. Between an elderly mother and her adult middle-aged son and daughter. A love triangle of sorts--with all the pointy edges. There are moments of love followed by moments of hate, followed by indifference. Yet underneath all the drama and pain...

that he coulda sworn he was in an actual show. So he started taking notes and fictionalizing a narrative.

[David Kubicka @DavidKubicka]

The story is based on Jonathan's experience living with & taking care of his elderly Mom, Carol. He found himself repeatedly in wildly absurd & dramatic family situations–moments of humor followed by moments of horror, sometimes at the same time–that have felt so off-the-hook...

[David Kubicka @DavidKubicka]

High Strung is a short film that acts as a proof of concept for a TV comedy about what it's like for a California Hippy to move back with and become caregiver for his elderly Mom on the Upper West Side of NYC, and the hilarity that ensues.
