There goes the Key Bridge, the red line, train station updates, train tunnel…. What else can we be deprived of to live up to our sh*thole namesake he bestowed on us last time around?
Fools, just like my late Chicano father who was called Pancho by his co workers in the 70s & 80s but died in 2019 w Fox News on 24/7. I found it haunting, returning from the hospital the evening he died and Fox was left on the TV

The People’s House is a song that celebrates this beautiful place that we call home, from sea to shining sea.
The truth matters. And the truth is on election day I’ll be voting for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz because I believe in the power of we, not of me. I’ve written a song reminding us that out of many, we are still one.
