Cesar Chavez represented the movement but the movement does not represent him. We honor his contributions to farmworkers, but no one is above moral standards. While he can’t respond, we have the responsibility to listen to those that come forward.

Earlier this week I spoke at North Star Academy in Redwood City, CA. Hopefully I inspired them to reach for the Stars! @RWCSchools astrojh.org

Pops is on the tractor mowing the vineyard just in time for bud break! 🌱🚜 Bud break is the moment when grapevines wake up from dormancy and the first green shoots emerge from the buds. It marks the official start of the new growing season. Nature is waking up at Tierra Luna. 🍇

Though my buddy @AstroTerry didn’t make it through the primaries for the Texas Congressional District 9 race, I’m encouraging to keep seeking public office. We need good people like him in Washington DC!

I spoke at the Council of UC Staff Assemblies (CUCSA) winter quarter meeting at UC Merced. I gave them my perspective as a Univ of Calif Regent with respect to the future of UC and how much we appreciate the role of UC Staff as they are a key part of our success! @UofCalifornia

Curtailing the use of a specific AI package for government use can’t be good for our country. Fair competition and an open market is what makes this country great! businessinsider.com/anthropic-open…

Just landed in Houston! Looking forward to helping my good friend Terry! With your help, he can win this primary!

Being interviewed for the @Univision program Código de Investigación. We talked about the pressures astronauts face, how to control them, and why identifying psychological profiles and maintaining mental health is mission-critical. @NASA @NASA_Johnson

Nothing like @united airlines Tarmac Services meeting you to at your connecting airport in Houston IAH airport to ensure you make a tight connection! Thanks @travelassist43 and Tarmac Services, specifically to Kim Howen.

After UC Riverside Chancellor Hu’s inauguration, two young girls stop me at the Ontario airport —I assume they’re fans. Turns out they ask: ‘Are you Vanessa’s father? She just got engaged, right?’ Humbled to the max! @thevanessahernandez @UofCalifornia

Last Tuesday I attended the Riverside County of Education conference at the Riverside Convention Center. The bonus was meeting students from the Coachella Valley! Proud of our migrant students who are converting their big dreams to reality through education! @RCOE

Behind the scenes at Tierra Luna Cellars—& yes, it smells even better than it looks. Each chocolate bar is wrapped & packed by hand, made to pair perfectly with our wine. From our table to yours, every detail matters. Valentine’s Day is coming—grab yours before they’re gone. 🍷🍫

Two Eagle Scouts, one proud dad. Diversity in Scouting—including girls—has improved teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving. Strong values don’t come from exclusion; they come from learning to lead together. yahoo.com/news/articles/…

Last week I had the distinct honor of attending a conference organized by the San Benito County of Education. It was the #SBCOLiteracySummit2026 @SBCOE95023 Great set of folks with a big passion for education!

Attending the 2026 Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, CA, connecting with industry leaders and learning about the latest technology innovations in grape growing & quality winemaking. Excited to bring fresh ideas & insights to the vineyard and cellar. #TierraLunaCellars

From a dormant vineyard to bud break 🌱 vine growth, blossom, berry set, canopy rise & harvest 🍇 We are pruning today, shaping what nature begins. Then patience… 18 months later, it becomes the best wine you’ll ever taste. 🍷✨ Tierralunacellars.com

After going to snowy Boston, I came to @UCLA for our 2-day bimonthly UC Regents meetings then dashed to Cancun for a talk at McKinsey’s annual gathering. Extreme weather conditions with good California weather serving as my transition from both extremes. Love the folks @McKinsey

Last week I gave a talk at the prestigious Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. So happy my daughter @theVanessaHernandez joined me! I even met students that I know for the Los Angeles area! Very impressive school! Glad I got out before the big cold front hit! @phillipsacademy

Here is another good interview regarding tomorrow’s early departure of NASA’s Crew 11 from the International Space Station due to a medical ailment. This one is with @NewsNation on the morning news with @HenaDoba pilot.latakoo.com/asset/22718457…

Had an interview this weekend regarding Crew-11 on @FoxNews with none other than @JonScottFNC . Their return is to commence tomorrow, Wednesday January 14th. Will splash down most likely on Thursday off the coast of California! foxnews.com/video/63875391…
