Semi-retired English teacher, tourism guide, and practical anarchist. I became an lifelong activist shortly after my 20th birthday on August 28, 1963 when I stood in the sun and heard Martin Luther King tell us about dreams.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

The killing of Tremane Wood does not make Oklahoma safer. It only deepens the racial bias our criminal justice system has yet to resolve. We demand justice for Tremane Wood and a halt to his execution.
