“…It’s not about property. It’s not about a barbed wire fence, something that’s ‘this is mine, this is yours.’ It’s fundamentally looking at land as something that you are a part of and hold a responsibility to look after.” -Jesse ShortBull
10 years ago. What a great time we had on #BeginAgain. A love song to NYC. Glad it wasn’t the days of AirPods. You had to sit closer to each other to share a tune back then.
I’m so proud to have been a part of this film and the uplifting strength, wisdom, and love of Mother Earth and all creation that is displayed in the relatively unknown story of the Lakota, Nakota, and Dakota people’s history. You do not know the history of America without the revelations of this film told by the side of those who have lived it.
Lakota Nation vs. United States is coming to theaters on July 14th.

In the final episode of #DispatchesFromTheOutlawOcean, Ian Urbina takes us aboard a Doctors Without Borders ship to showcase their attempts to rescue migrants from the Mediterranean. However, these travelers are taking the biggest risk for their freedom. It’s a battle between the humanitarian NGOs and the Libyan Coast Guard. A battle of life or death.

Sending my bro Chris Evans some birthday love today. We haven’t laughed that hard in a while! Miss you, pal.
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported our rally on Saturday with The Center at West Park to save the West Park Presbyterian Church. This landmark is an epicenter for the arts and worship, and we all want it to remain here for future generations. There’s still time to tell NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission that you oppose the demolition before the public hearing tomorrow by visiting the link below.

I’m so happy to announce that #LakotaNationVsUnitedStates will be in theaters July 14! It’s been an honor to work alongside the Lakota people, Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli, and the rest of our talented creative team to bring this story to the screen. Please check out the official trailer for the film which showcases the Lakota Nation’s fight to reclaim the Black Hills.
In honor of my dear friend Josh Hamilton’s birthday, I thought I’d dig in the archives and share some photos from our youth to now. Love you brother. 🥳📸
