The photo/documentary community lost a bright light today.

When I first met Sara Terry in in Perpignan in 2012, I knew I'd encountered a force of nature.

RIP, Sara. You have changed the world for the better with your consistent voice advocating for justice.

I just listened to, in these deeply troubled times, a recitation of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, assessing the cost of a brutal Civil War that was not yet finished.

I felt tears welling up, hoping not to revisit such insanity.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

During #HispanicHeritageMonth, we honor the contributions of America’s Latino communities—enriching our culture and strengthening our democracy.

From science, education and the arts to public service and business, Latinos have shaped every part of American life.

Someone followed me today. So, I followed back. Then they said they wanted to purchase NFT's of my work, a clear tell of a scam artist. So, I blocked them.

The (Epstein Files) US President signed an executive order (Epstein Files) stating (Epstein Files) a mandatory one-year prison term (Epstein Files) for burning an American flag (Epstein Files).

We're not distracted.

Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance.

A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.
