In February Donald Trump proclaimed "Long Live the King!" What he doesn't seem to grasp is that we fought a war to defeat a tyrant king.

On June 14th, millions of Americans will be in the street to tell him loudly we will have NO KINGS!

Don't stay home! Make your voice heard!

The latest member of the Hall of Heroes is ABC reporter Terry Moran, who schooled other members of the media in how to ask tough questions and how to not back down in the face of the ensuing lies.

Trump on immigrants: "... get them out."

Moran: "There's a legal process for that."

Mayor Michelle Wu of Boston, Hall of Heroes.

"This federal administration is making hard-working, tax-paying, God-fearing people afraid to live their lives. A city that's scared is not a city that's safe. A land ruled by fear is not the land of the free."

RIP Roberta Flack, Hall of Heroes.

She sang as if romance were a subject deserving deep, measured consideration. She believed that education is the key to unlocking doors of opportunity, where every student has a fair shot at excellence.

The second in the Hall of Heroes series. Bishop Mariann Budde. "...the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors."

These volumes languished in the ceiling of my house for 175 years. They came out as one large 2X8" chunk of pine during a renovation. I was mystified for a long time. One day, I saw what was in front of me. The books emerged with just two saw cuts and some minor work with a chisel and stain.

I'm thrilled to be included in "Transformation," the Winter Art Show at Cotuit Center for the Arts. The art is hung at a lower than standard height, and groups of school kids are bussed in to see the exhibit.

The show is curated and hung by the incomparable Michelle Law and will be up until Feb 23
