Who Is Sage Lewis Politically?
There have been some really interesting articles, locally and nationally, about political polling. I just finished reading: Asian Americans, Shifting Right – The New York Times It’s primarily about Asian Americans. But it has other more general stats that I find very interesting. For example: Nationally, the rightward drift of Asian voters is connected to…

Why Do I Want To Put Myself Through This?

I’m 51 years old and I could just move to an island or California or someplace where there is less racism and…

A Vote For Sage Lewis Is A Vote For School Unions
I stand with Akron City School Board, The Akron Education Association, the Akron Education Association, OAPSE Local 689 and SEIU Local 1. Are you following the war going on right now between the Chamber of Commerce teamed up with the mayor against the Akron School Board? I truly hope you are because it DEEPLY matters…

We Lost
For about 5 years now we have gone to every court possible asking for the permission to let me somehow help any homeless people that can’t find their way into a shelter or a house. We have been denied at every turn. Our property rights litigation journey is now over. Consider it lost. Consider it…

Akron Ohio Is A Racist City
Akron Ohio is a racist city. It always has been and I see no indication based on the leadership of today that it ever will not be a racist city. I could give you countless reasons to support this statement. But I’ll just give you the most recent one: Imokhai Okola is a Jones Day…

This is my friend Aubrey.
This is my friend Aubrey. She’s pregnant in a tent. I offered her a room in my house. She said no. People have told me a bunch of reasons why she won’t go. (Rules are definitely not one of them). But it doesn’t matter. She doesn’t want to go. That’s all that matters. Another friend…

VIOLENT PURSE SNATCHING IN WARD 8
This is the arm of an 80-year-old woman who had her purse stolen and was knocked to the ground in front of Gionino’s Pizzeria in The Valley. The man who stole her purse ripped it so hard off her arm that it caused this injury. This shit infuriates me. Ever since I heard about this…

Drifting Away
If I had no family (I don’t have any friends I meet up with and I have no real interest in finding any. I’m naturally an introvert with low grade depression) I’d just roll out. I’d get in my truck and head to the desert, I think. I’d take my tent, sleeping bag, Coleman stove,…

She Said No
Get this. I asked a friend of mine to come move into our house. She’s pregnant. I can’t stand watching pregnant women freeze. It is currently 14 degrees. She is in a tent with no heat. Someone has tarped it really nicely however. She said no. I have no rules. Like zero rules. As long…

My Most Prized Possession
This might be my most prized possession. (I think telling its story is relevant to the brutal beating and murder by Memphis police of Tyre Nichols). I just bought this gun last night from a felon. This is something I do from time to time. I buy guns from people that shouldn’t have them. But…

The Murder of Tyre Nichols
I’m pleased that the court system of Memphis was able to bring justice to Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who was brutally beaten and murdered by 5 police officers. They all are charged with 2nd degree murder. The added twist here is that all 5 officers are Black. So the idea that changing the…

Racism in Akron Schools
I LOVE thinking about the hardest problems in society. I believe the race war between Blacks and Whites is a foundational struggle that is so embedded in American society that it is almost our one great sacred struggle between good and evil. I am nearly obsessed with the Black/White American problem. If we can overcome…

January 6, 2023 – the 4th anniversary of the forced closure of Akron’s tent city.
Today, January 6, commemorates the forced closing of Akron’s tent city on my private property on January 6, 2019. I have ALWAYS said, if you don’t like my ideas then come up with your own ideas.

An Unloaded Gun

The Results of my Christmas Eve Sleep Out
