It’s tough to deal with an American administration that can’t be trusted on anything it says.

The standard for “cultural revolution” according to centrist and right wing commentators is “liberals being loud about their opinions” whereas Trump is making prosecution, regulatory, and funding decisions based on the politics of the speaker but that’s also libs fault for making him mad

We cannot let fear render us invisible or quiet.
We must be the people who take a side, who meet this moment, who declare that we have had it with hatred having the run of the house.
The choice could not be clearer, America.
Will we stand with Good or with Evil?

Renee Nicole Good died at the hands of evil, but we can make sure that she has the last word, that she did not die in vain, that Good will live on.
We cannot allow evil to prevail.
We cannot calm down or shut up.

America, Will We Stand With (Renee Nicole) Good or Evil?
It’s easy to oversimplify this life; to abandon nuance in favor of a simple, binary choice that leaves no room for complexity.

So let me get this straight. The Justice Department WON’T investigate the shooting of a woman protesting ICE excesses in Minnesota but WILL investigate the Governor and Mayor?
What are you going to charge the Mayor and Governor with? “Felony disagreement?”
Absurd and shameful.

Very curious what the long-term ripple effects of this ICE occupation will be. Many very privileged people have stepped up to prevent their own government from disappearing their non-white neighbors and have now confronted inequalities and social problems they never would have experienced firsthand.

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Positively shocked that the house magazine of the Manhattan Institute is upset that my book refuses to attribute America's record-high homelessness to "personal choices"—rather than, say, rents outpacing income gains by 325 percent since 1985.

Pure comfort in song form. Written by Carole King and shared here with James Taylor, You’ve Got a Friend feels less like a performance and more like a promise. Their voices blend with quiet ease, trust, warmth, and friendship.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
