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

Hope in the Nightmare
There is so much going on in this Akron Beacon Journal article. The thoughts and feelings it stirs up in me are an overwhelming stew of mess and complication. Let me just vomit some thoughts on you: FIRST: you can’t read it unless you pay for it. If you can afford this paper BUY IT!

Announcing MARKET MIDDLEBURY – Sundays noon – 3pm.
I just read an article about how Countryside Farmers Market is having a tough time financially: No more farmers markets? Countryside facing money woes It’s possible they may not be able to survive. I went to their market for the first time last week. It’s a beautiful thing. But apparently, it costs $250,000 a year

We Are Asking the Ohio Supreme Court To Let Us Shelter Those Most In Need
Here’s an article from our attorneys at Institute for Justice. We are trying to get the Ohio Supreme Court to hear our case to allow us to shelter people that have absolutely nowhere else to take shelter. I try not to talk much about lawsuits simply because I’m not a lawyer and it’s truly a

I Support Camping Bans, IF…
There was a major homeless law change in Los Angeles yesterday where over 66,000 people live without a home. You can now not put a tent within 500 feet of a school anywhere in LA. Overall, this will make about 20% of the land not accessible to tents. And in some areas it could be

Men
I was speaking with a powerful/super-smart/highly-educated woman yesterday who said something along the lines that men are natural-born colonizing murderers and we need to figure out a way to help them use those tendencies in a positive way. I see this murderous, colonizing instinct in inner-city Black drug dealers as much as I see it

WHAT DO THEY SPEND THEIR MONEY ON?
Now that our Church of the Nomadic Spirit is focusing on helping people find ways to make money through making things and offering services like car cleaning and mowing in the neighborhood, I’ve gotten several people asking me what homeless people spend their money on. Let me start by saying: IT’S NONE OF YOUR DAMN

I am a Democrat
In America you are either a Republican or a Democrat. You could be a Tea Party Republican or a Socialist Democrat. But you are still either an R or a D. The number 1 biggest determination if you will win an election is if you have aligned with one of those 2 parties. I am

“Stop in the name of the law.”
The city is furious with me (again). They want to have an emergency meeting with the magistrate because “Sage is putting tents back on his land.” I’m not doing shit. This is what Akron policies look like. They wanted me to get rid of all the tents on my land. So I did. Then people

My sister-in-law
My sister-in-law lives in North Canton and works in Cleveland. She drives that every day and has done so for decades. She now stops off at least once a week to make dinner and visit with her mother-in-law. Last night she grilled out for her. I often hear you say such kind and nice things

Rage. Pride. Dignity. Deadly characteristics.
I get to work with some very serious people on the street. A 55 year-old man was shot dead in a parking lot in the 900 block of Copley Road in Akron this past Sunday. I absolutely work with people who are capable of this kind of killing. There is an interesting psychology of a

MLE Media Endorses Sage Lewis For Akron Mayor
In their article “The Only Sane Choice for Akron Mayor is, Insane!” they write: He has proven that he is not afraid to buck the system when he feels the system is wrong. I don’t see Lewis “playing ball” just for the sake of politics. If I’d have to compare Lewis to another politician I’d

I had a very good conversation with Brian Simcox today. I know my leftist friends are likely going to be angry for me saying this. I don’t need to get into the controversy of Brian. It has been talked about extensively. Particularly by me. Let me just say that he is a controversial figure. I

Andrew
Isn’t it funny how emotions wash over you like a rising tide for no apparent reason whatsoever? I woke up this morning feeling deep sorrow and sadness for our friend, Andrew. Andrew died of a fentanyl overdose. That alone is sad because we all know Andrew didn’t take fentanyl. He took meth. So it will

We are ready.
I believe there is a reason that we are all waking up to the reality that all our systems are failures. Your church won’t take you in when you’re homeless. Your police won’t rush in to save you when you are being murdered. Your hospital won’t take away your pain when you’re suffering. Your judges

I’ve Never Told Anyone This Before
I’ve never admitted this to anyone other than my wife. But I carry a gun. Every time I go from the West side of Akron to the East side of Akron I put on my holster and my handgun. It’s an 8 round clip plus 1 in the chamber. I have my conceal carry permit.

My new June 2022 lawsuit
The city of Akron has just filed yet another lawsuit against me for sheltering homeless people. Our attorneys are so kind to me. Consoling me for this action. I didn’t expect anything different.

Another mass shooting
I’m just going to use these mass murderers as a time to remind you that this isn’t about guns (although I’d like to see some tightening of gun laws). It’s not even about mental health, which is my great interest of opportunity in America. America is a cauldron of centuries of unaddressed systemic rot. Of
