Sucker for third acts and happy endings. Not enough hours in the day and not enough days for everything I want to do.

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

An interesting tidbit in the joint status report filed in the Broadview ICE facility case today:

ICE says video from inside the facility "between October 19, 2025, and October 31, 2025, has been irretrievably destroyed" and can't be produced in discovery.

A transgender TSA officer, who has identified and presented as a woman since her first day, is no longer allowed to pat down travelers thanks to a Trump executive order issued that, with a stroke of the pen, wrongfully reclassified her as a man.

If I see no concern that people were going without food or paycheck, then it won't be hard to assume that you'd be willing to use the same tools if you had power. It is a sucky problem having evil people in charge, but we dont use people as pawns.
