I was approached by a security officer and escorted outside, where an armed officer informed me I needed to leave. When I asked for an why, the officer responded, “I don’t know. I wish I could tell you. You have to go, they don’t want you here.”

Tied nearly dead to a barbed wire fence in freezing weather, where he wasn't found for nearly 24 hours. He died six days later in the hospital. Human cruelty knows no bounds.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

I sometimes joke that I was trained by the jesuits.
As a punk rock dropout I met the bad-assed Michael Czerny who advised us about political organizing. He faced down death squads in El Salvador.
He married my wife and I.
He is the pope's right hand.

Meet the Jesuit Cardinal Behind Pope Leo’s Social Justice Revolution

From drafting Leo's first apostolic exhortation to championing migrants and the planet, Cardinal Michael Czerny is shaping the moral heart of this papacy.

Of all the excuses not to show up to work while still collecting a paycheck, refusing to show up for 2 months so you can conceal info about sex trafficking because the perps are wealthy and powerful can only be conjured up in the toxic mind hive of Trump & House GOP leadership.

John Denver, gone 28 years ago today.

“.. I was camping up in the mountains. We were in the Rockies … I remember looking straight up and seeing meteor showers and thinking, this is what it is to be alive. And that line ‘I’ve seen it raining fire in the sky’ — that actually came from that night.”

America’s Economy Is Not a Reality Show

Trump keeps mistaking policy for spectacle, and this one could cost us trillions.

I believe that Trump, Mike Johnson and Greg Abbott should not have started this and continued with it in multiple states to rig the midterms. No Democrats want this, but we can’t unilaterally disarm in the face of multiple threats to fair representation nationwide.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up.

Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

The WH is laughing at Republicans in Congress, because they know they’re dog walking them.

Trump’s top advisers joke about ruling Congress w/an “iron fist.” Bannon compared the GOP-controlled House to the Russian Duma, a ceremonial rubber stamp.

They’re Trump’s puppets, and everyone knows it.

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins
