Some personal news: I’ve signed with Hyponymous Literary to represent me as I seek to publish my first book. Honored to be working with lenny duncan as my agent and in the company of these amazing writers: www.hyponymous.com/hyponymous-a...
My reflection on joining the #WalkForPeace today in #HighPointNC. Two things are happening in our country right now—one ugly and awful and one beautiful and peaceful—and we have to be able to hold both things in our hearts and in our minds. 🙏

I’m tired of things being out of whack.
I need more things to be into whack.

Do we need to see
the tortured bodies of this regime
like we saw Emmett Till
in his open casket,
face destroyed?
His grieving mother’s
gut-wrenching
heart-rending choice.

By now you’ve no doubt heard ABOUT the two dozen Buddhist monks walking from Texas to D.C. But do you know WHY they are marching to the nation’s capitol? 😅✌️

Is Pam Bondi going to be the first one thrown under the bus? Why is Kash Patel still there? What about Pete Hegseth? They are all going to go down eventually, because their last name isn’t Trump.

OK 2A people, where are you? *crickets* You’re OK with federal government overreach as long as it aligns with YOUR politics. Got it. Good luck with that. #AbolishICE #ICEOutNow

WATCH TO THE END: Jesse “The Body” Ventura calls the Republican Party a domestic threat for destroying the Constitution and allowing Trump to act like a wanna-be dictator. Love how he can’t stop talking like a pro wrestler 😂 We shocked the world! #IYKYK #AbolishICE

Many years ago, toward the beginning of the dot-com Gold Rush, I thought I might be able to get rich buying & selling domain names &—b/c I’m really not that smart—I chose one of the smallest most obscure niches of all, the names of “popular” Christian authors. I owned JohnPiper.com & several others.

Charlotte friends, (my daughter) Olyvia and I are planning to try to join up with the Walk for Peace wherever it is on Monday, January 19 (MLK Day). Hopefully in or near Charlotte! Anyone else planning to join the walk? HMU.

It’s as “official” as Trump’s Kennedy Center B.S. 👍

I need my progressive and liberal friends to get on board with flipping the meaning of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It is NOT what Trump or his MAGA supporters say it is. It is anyone who can tolerate, ignore, or (worse) celebrate Trump’s absolutely backwards words and actions.

It would be an honor to be executed by this corrupt and wicked administration. I’m probably not high up on their fake “domestic terror” list, but that just means I need to work harder to bring them down in 2026 😅

The Republican majority could pass a budget and fund our schools today. They just… won’t.

A beautuful thread about Rob Reiner.
I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Besides being a legendary filmmaker, Rob Reiner was a huge supporter of Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II and the Poor People’s Campaign. His death and his wife’s death are a horrible tragedy. RIP
