    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…

  • “Stop in the name of the law.”

    “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 talked with Brian Simcox today

    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.

    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. In an America where unlimited children can be murdered in cold blood and NOTHING CHANGES why would I expect Dan Horrigan to…

    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…

  • It’s The Handguns, Dummy

    It’s The Handguns, Dummy

    Most of these shootings that happen in Akron and the rest of American cities don’t happen with AR-type weapons. THEY HAPPEN WITH HANDGUNS. Most gun crimes are committed with handguns. You’ll notice that Democrats never mention handguns. And that’s how you know that they don’t actually care about gun violence. They just care about political…

    My jobs idea

    In low-income communities in a city, IN GENERAL, women boost (they steal from stores) and men scrap metal. Copper wire is the ultimate prize. They burn off the outer coating of the wire so that it pays more. They are all making about $10-$40 a day. Most people refuse to fly a sign for money.…

    Yesterday’s Mental Health Story

    The mental health issues in the inner city don’t always culminate in physical violence. Here’s yesterday’s story… 2 large checks were stolen from the mailbox of my building. They then attempted to cash one of the checks. These checks weren’t stolen just for straight crime. That would make sense. These checks were stolen because the…

    The next couple days

    In the next couple days, an article will come out in the Akron Beacon Journal about our tent village. This was inspired by our loss of another lawsuit pushing for my right to shelter a very small group of people for a very limited time in the most extreme cases. (I am never allowed to…

    One good cop. One good drug dealer.

    On the street everyone needs one good cop and one good drug dealer. Both can be challenging to come by. But they exist. A good cop will look past small issues like possession to stay focused on things like arson, grand theft auto and violent crime. They also won’t run every name in a car…

    Gun deaths reached the highest level ever recorded in the United States in 2020

    I can tell you without a doubt, that there are more guns in the homeless community now than any other time I’ve done this work.   What’s interesting is that Covid had a very minimal effect on homeless people. In fact, it might have been a net positive because camp sweeps were way down during…

    Dr. Anonymous

    In 1972, Dr. John Fryer (right) gave a speech in this mask stating that homosexuality was not a mental disorder. Dr. Fryer was a psychiatrist and gay. Admitting that he was gay would have admitted that he had a mental disorder and therefore would have lost his license. May 2 was the 50th anniversary of…
