Happening now at San Francisco airport. Go SFO! #SFCelebrates #Pride #LGBTQ

Can you imagine how different this would be if they would have passed the comprehensive immigration bill last session? You know, the one that had majority support until one person killed it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

Didn't prevent them from selling it as a "win", which is all MAGA heard. How do we break through? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/11/u...

How refreshing to listen to a calm, cool, rational discussion of where we're at in this moment of history. @hcrichardson.bsky.social @petebuttigieg.bsky.social heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/conversati...

Woah? The Speaker of the House just said on TV that aduly elected governor should be "tarred and feathered"? Which party is instigating the violence? The one calling in the Marines to stop protestors? And calling for governors to be tarred and feathered? abcnews.go.com/Politics/spe...

Leave it to Democrats to miss the opportunity to communicate the real reason these protests got ugly: the military was called in when it didn't need to be. Free speech was being squashed. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/u...

Preparing to present about Phare Circus / Phare Creative Studio / Phare Ponleu Selpak at a travel conference in the US. It reminds me of The U.S. Embassy Cambodia commissioning this video from Phare Studio: Freedom is a Summer Blossom. What do you think of it? youtu.be/M1EI4AkxSv4?...

Beautiful morning hike on Phnom Bok. I'm resolved to regain fitness during retirement. connect.garmin.com/modern/activ...

Freeze / lock all your credit reports. Supreme Court allows DOGE to access ALL your Social Security information. It's only a matter of time before it's hacked or leaked. Protect yourself.

Dems, where you at? Congress? Just gonna turn a blind eye? A Comprehensive Accounting of Trump’s Culture of Corruption www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/o...

Do we want to build an American economy for the future, or the past? Americans make more money in the financial/services/tech economy than in manufacturing. America is better off looking to the future. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/o...

What do you think of this video? Does it make you want to experience Siem Reap? Does it dispel the myth that the only thing to see is Angkor Wat? #travel #tourism #sustainabletourism #SiemReap #Cambodia youtu.be/m0iT4-duXxc?...

Fellow Americans, do you feel safer? How about that photo... www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

🌈 Happy Pride Month ♥️

Hiked 2 laps around Phnom Bakheng, located in Angkor Archeological Park, on a hill between Angkor Wat and Bayon / Angkor Thom. Beautiful scenery, lots of nature and a moderate workout. #hiking #travel #tourism #SiemReap #Cambodia connect.garmin.com/modern/activ...

Learn something new every day.... "Fart walking" ..... #walking #hiking www.tomsguide.com/wellness/fit...

Second time in a row, #hiking Phnom Bok, someone there asked me how much I weigh. I guess I should feel proud that I can haul my fat ass up that hill.....

I feel so fortunate to have such fascinating people in my life. My partner, visual artist Channy Chhoeun, and I enjoyed a fabulous evening out with good friend Sarin Chhuon and world renowned Cambodian Chef Nak.

Moms can be 'illegal immigrants' too. “I voted for Trump, and so did practically everyone here,” said Vanessa Cowart. “But no one voted to deport moms. We were all under the impression we were just getting rid of the gangs, the people who came here in droves.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Experiencing local culture is a big reason people travel to. A great way to do that is to meet a local artist, sharing culture through their art. @cambodianess.com interviews Cambodian artist Channy Chhoeun. I challenge you to listen to this without getting emotional. youtu.be/RDbQS-v9Uto?...

I feel compelled to re-share this interview about all the many experiences available in Cambodia, especially around Siem Reap, that few international visitors know about. Truly hidden gems. #tourism #travel #SiemReap #Cambodia #HiddenGems #ImmersiveTravel www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3ZR...
