Old Town Manassas this evening. A curative to all the data center fences and walls I've been seeing. A slant of warm light across worn bricks. We live in a world rushing past—but still, some places hold time gently, like a photograph just waiting to be taken.

My favorite picture from yesterday's Veterans Rally. It's ice cream on a cold day but there's a genuine warmth in the interaction. There's a lot going on visually at these events but the best moments are catching people just being real. #streetphotography #eastcoastkin #DC #vets

Data Center Spotting,Northern VA, where we build data centers in backyards. They are here for cheap land, tax breaks, and lax regulation. What could go wrong?

While all eyes are on DC, thirty miles to the west in Prince William and Loudoun Counties, they’re hard at work building the deep infrastructure of the corporate surveillance state. We'll make great pets.

This is the couple from the first wedding I officiated as a Secular Humanist Chaplain. Earlier this year, as DOGE tore through the federal government, I knew my time in public service was ending — and something deeper in America was shifting.

Demand Justice has been committed to courts that work for everyday people–and we now have a new leader in this fight:
Meet Josh Orton–a lawyer and veteran of progressive politics who is ready to mobilize opposition to Trump’s judicial nominees and attacks on the rule of law.

Many of the men deported to CECOT said they are permanently changed: struggling to sleep, drink water or leave their homes.
One man broke into tears describing how he had a panic attack the first time he walked down a busy Venezuelan street.

Yes, “you reap what you sow” is biblical, rooted in Galatians 6:7 and echoed throughout scripture. It serves as a moral warning: what you put into the world—whether kindness or cruelty—will return to you in kind.
I wonder how many Sunday sermons will be covering that ground this morning?

This shot is from Military Occupied DC. The subject being detained was harassing a group of anti-Trump veterans. But I love this photo for more than the FAFO. It's a great example of what the Leica #Summilux21mmf/1.4 is capable of for #documentaryphotography Low light, wide scenes, cinematic detail.

The danger is not only in the presence of militarized police, but in the acceptance of their presence as ordinary. The banality of evil grows out of uniforms in the street, armored vehicles at schools, and people shrugging, “that’s just the way it is.”
