New protest sign I'll be bringing with me to No Kings on October 18th.

Blue background with a very light image of a sigil comprised of an eye positioned over a key, which is in turn positioned over a heart with justice scales on either side. The words Community, Cooperation, Dignity and Compersion are written at the four points of the sign, and the main text on the sign, in bold white letters, is, "This isn't Left vs. Right.

It's Empathy vs. Emotional Terrorism.

For our own survival, we must protect the empathetic from those who terrorize for sport."

I had a flight out of Newark cancelled once and I suspect that was due to a different Michael Brown trying to cancel his ticket and staff cancelling my ticket instead.

The Department of Defense’s 2023 report shows:

• 8.4% of active-duty women and 1.5% of active-duty men experienced unwanted sexual contact in the last year.

• That’s over 36,000 service members in a single year.

• Less than one-third report their assault.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.
