Once a month outside Blanchet House, you might see Paul Susi at a pop-up table. Using his money, he helps people apply for birth certificates and replacement IDs. On Thurs, he wrote checks for 58 people!

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?

THIS. Cycling in the US has been marketed as a form of fitness, not as mode of transportation, and not as source of joy & delight. We need to change that. Cycling is liberating; it allows you to engage with the world around you.

I told her about the nature of the bicycle being born of transportation. It's only Americans who have slapped the belief that they are for exercise on them.
