My beautiful bride and I braved the cold and attended a rally for LGBTQ+ rights at the Michigan Capitol today.

Less than four weeks away! People are tripping over themselves to come support the Salus Center! #bjj

Trans rights are human rights. The right to live authentically is a human right. Bodily autonomy is a human right. So please attend and support my seminar on 3/22/25 benefitting the @saluscentermi. You’re gonna see this on my page until seminar day. #bjj

Someone said my continued posting about this was “absurd”. What is more absurd is that LGBTQ+ rights, in particular transgender rights are under attack. And that endangers us all. If those rights are taken away, who is next? So please support this seminar benefiting the Salus Center. #bjj

Be happy and help others. Come support the @saluscentermi and attend and/or donate to my seminar benefitting them. #bjj Remember, LGBTQ+ rights are human rights. Full stop.

Base in action:
February 13, 2025 at 2:42 PM
I’m known in BJJ for base. Part of having base is being able to withstand forces being applied to you by being supported by a stable object. In life, WE are the stable object who can support others. Show support and love by attending and/or donating to my seminar benefiting the @saluscentermi. #bjj

Maybe I’m naïve, but I still think love, rock n roll, and punching N@zis can change the world.

People I love are trans and gay. Help me support them by attending and/or donating to my seminar benefitting the @saluscentermi. We’re also raffling off a quilt made by @craftsdepartment. Yes, it’s personal for me. But you don’t have to know someone to support their basic human rights. #bjj

Again, follow submittingdisinfo for good, well researched, well documented information about some current events, and about some of the spreaders of disinformation in the combat sport community. And no, this is NOT my second account. I’ve got no time to pretend to be someone else.
