Lively music by Citizen’s Jazz, followed by a press conference with special guests Surabhi Saraf and Faluda Islam, in which I announced the new U.S. immigration policy of 100% Open Immigration:

“That’s why today, I’m dissolving Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE, entirely. I’m also disbanding U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and introducing U.S. Customs and Border Elimination, a diverse organization responsible for inspiring civility, admiration and respect, and facilitating legitimate trade and unfettered travel. U.S. Customs and Border Elimination will be the hosts of our Nation’s borderlessnesss, America’s unbounded, unlined, de-demarcated extended welcome. Together, we will erode the walls that were built before, dismantle the fences, and erase the lines.”

"Oh boy! Oh boy!  There’s a bunch of fun, interesting, artsy extravaganzas happening all over San Francisco this July. The next couple weeks are garden parties, world class workshops, world records, opera auditions, and of course music, dancing & costumes all over the place.  It’s time to get out there and mix it up with thousands of other beautiful bay area weirdos.  Here are the art centered events starting this weekend and running through all of July in San Francisco."
