Then: writer, editor, cofounder of a residency for writers and artists. Now: flaneur in my native San Francisco, to which I returned in 2021 after many years elsewhere. Widower, father of three, unexpectedly found love again. Luckiest man who ever lived.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

When the administration comes after members of the House and Senate, our response should be: screw you, we’re not backing down.
In the face of a weaponized government trying to intimidate public servants for simply stating the law, we must fight back.
And give no quarter.
