Master List: Authoritarian and Anti-Constitutional Actions by Donald Trump (2025)
The last update to this was on May 24, 2025. Let me know if I forget to add to it. This post is a rolling chronicle of executive orders, proclamations, federal memoranda, and allied state-level initiatives that legal scholars, journalists, and watchdog groups have flagged as authoritarian, unconstitutional, or corrosive to democratic norms since President

How do I help my bipolar homeless niece?
It’s humbling and a little shocking for me to have people ask me how to help their homeless family members. I often think to myself, “isn’t there someone more qualified to answer these requests other than me?” But what I’ve learned in life is that leaders are always unprepared and unqualified for the job set

Help. My daughter is homeless
A dad just asked me how he can help his homeless daughter. If you know anyone going through this, you might share this with them. He told me his daughter was trying to get on disability. Hi. It’s nice to hear from you. I’m sorry you are going through this. Your daughter is lucky to

Stoney Pointe Commons in Akron Ohio Has Rats
Funny story… City of Akron, Ohio – Mayor, Dan Horrigan, and Keith Stahl, Director of Operations and Residential Services at Community Support Services, fought tooth and nail to close down our tent village (which they did). One reason was that they had just built Stoney Pointe Commons – an $11.3 million for the 68-unit complex

Roaches, Mice and Rats
There are some powerful conservations going on at Akron City Council about inhumane living conditions at many apartment buildings in Akron. Roaches, mice and rats are a common complaint. As is always the case, the full story is incredibly complicated. The Houseless Movement house currently has roaches. IN NO WAY, am I making excuses. We’ve

My Failing Of This Man
This is a man I have tried to shelter off and on for years. Today he asked to leave the Houseless Movement house because he was afraid if he didn’t he’d kill someone. (He has gone to prison before for attempted murder, so he’s not exaggerating.) This is a man who has serious mental illness.

Saturday, January 29, 2022 – Negative 7 Degrees.
I took this picture this morning. It’s of the Houseless Movement House and Garden. I love this picture because I think it makes people feel certain ways. It was -7 degrees when I took this picture. The outdoor shelters currently house 4 women and 5 men. There are more people pleading for a space. 2

PRACTICING NON-JUDGMENT
I am now of the belief that this entire thing. This earth. This universe. It’s all a construct built for us each to individually practice becoming better. And better means finding understanding and compassion for all other things. The very first step in our practice is letting go of judging. Judgment is the creation of

Do the right thing.
My friend Kenny Boldt always preaches to me that wisdom. I’ve never met an organization or system that fully stays true to that commitment. Just yesterday I was at the health department getting needles. I was trying to pull a fast one on them. You are allowed to use fake information. So this week I

Tucker Carlson on Homelessness
Tucker Carlson just did a piece entitled: “The homeless crisis is a symptom of our society collapsing in real time.” He is a jerk. And I really wish that conservative Christians would not find comfort in his cruel and hateful words. But, if you can look past his basic mean-ness, there are some

A picture of our little Houseless camp
Here’s a picture of two tents and two tiny houses on the Houseless Movement property. I just took this today. This is now the 6th winter I’ve either sheltered people on my land or supported camps hidden in the woods. Over the years my feelings about all this has evolved. When I first started my

The third anniversary of the end of Akron’s tent city. January 6, 2019
January 6, 2019 was the final day of Akron’s tent city. It began on January 7, 2017 when the Metroparks kicked out a small group of people to make way for the Freedom Trail. Cruel destruction after cruel destruction. I’ve been thinking a lot about China’s destruction of Tibet and how the Dalai Lama and

My Message From My Annual Christmas Eve Sleep Out in Support of Homeless Pregnant Moms

So… Thanksgiving
If, by now, you aren’t aware that this holiday is challenging you either are living in another universe than the rest of us, or you are exhibiting selective ignorance racism. Did we inflict genocide on the original owners of this land? Yes. Did we steal the land that was never ours to begin with? Yes.

My Thoughts On Terri Heckman’s Retirement as CEO of the Battered Women’s Shelter.
Terri has an article in the Akron Beacon Journal on her retirement entitled “‘How do you replace her?’ Terri Heckman retiring as leader of two victim agencies.” You will find that the Beacon often writes fluff pieces about corporate insiders. If the Beacon is still around when I die I guarantee their coverage will not

Terri Heckman and Sage Lewis Discussion on December 18, 2017
This is an article the Beacon Journal did with Terri and me. I would often go along with things like this because people would chastise me for not working with the authorities and whatnot. But now I just believe these things were nothing more than a publicity stunt to make these people look like they
