I have become incredibly drawn to the mystical and magical forces of the universes these days. The incredible flatness of our universe, quantum wave theory, whether or not we are living in a simulation. These ideas, and so many others, fill my mind with endless exciting possibilities. Then throw in ideas of God and reincarnation […]

My newest book, "The Homeless Activist" is coming out on my birthday, September 28. I'll be 50 years old. The whole lead-up to this day has been very strange for me. Life feels like an unstoppable freight train. There really isn't anything you can do other than just keep riding it. Doing activist work has […]

My son, who is currently 16, asked me why I no longer run a marketing firm with a bunch of employees. At our peak we had about 16 employees and, as Wikipedia reports accurately, we were generating about $1.5 million in sales. (please keep in mind that top line revenue has nothing to do with […]

Is it all just hopeless and pointless? Here it is in audio: https://radiofree-rss.streamguys1.com/player/player2108180913195.html

Akron City Councilwoman Margo Sommerville asked me to call her today because she felt I was being too negative. I tried to reach out to her but I couldn't get her. This is what I wrote to here: Hi Councilwoman. I tried you a couple times this morning. But your mailbox is full. I really […]

I put this information together in a post on Facebook but thought I'd organize it all here for future reference. First, I posted this document showing the housing code violations the Houseless Movement house has recently acquired. For the record, we received this notice earlier. My official response on social media was: Dear City of […]

This is Richard Grass. He's an important person in the humanitarian fight for homeless rights in Akron Ohio. He is seen here wearing his tent because the city came and stole every single other item of his. He finally cut a hole in his tent, and put his head through it and told them that […]

If you are an Akronite, this article should be required reading to understand your history: https://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/a-road-to-nowhere-how-the-construction-of-akrons-innerbelt-displaced-thousands/Content?oid=27096491 This is what African-American racISM looks like. It's policies that undermine black people. And now we are doing it again by giving people 15 years of tax free living if they build a new house in Akron. This incredible […]

It is currently popular for white liberals to learn and repeat words of solidarity with black people and people of color. Meanwhile, their actions change very little. Our organizations are still lead by mostly white people. And furthermore, we haven't learned the deeper message. That ALL people outside our in-group deserve our respect and empathy. […]

Amber Evans deserves to be remembered for many reasons particularly with her connections to Akron, Summit County, Kent State and Ohio State. She killed herself because she was exhausted from The Fight. I know the feeling. Maybe you do too. We must remember: the war never ends. Here on Earth, love and hate are in […]

The ultimate contradiction is that life is both creation and destruction.Poverty will always exist and that is why we must always work to destroy poverty.Corruption will always exist and that is why we must always fight to destroy corruption.Evil will always exist and that is why we must always fight to destroy evil. This is […]

Let's talk about this: The man accused of killing eight people, including six women of Asian descent, blamed “sexual addiction,” a disputed term used in parts of evangelical culture. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/20/us/evangelical-sex-addiction-atlanta-suspect.html We also spent a lot of time talking about corruption in Akron politics and how to organize to make real change for our city.

Some people cringe at my outbursts. They tell me that my anger and attacks on politicians is childish and hurtful to my overall cause. I am nothing if not intentional in my actions. Some may think that I'm just some madman yelling into the wind further isolating myself and spiralling out of control. I do […]

This was at the December 3, 2018 Akron City Council Meeting as the city destroys our tent village while not housing 14 of our 50+ Residents They Promised To House. The original full council video is here: https://youtu.be/JV2-4vDxMp0

I am so attracted to women. And if it weren't bad enough, the older I get the more into women I get. When I was a teenager the kind of girl I was into was very narrow and specific. As I look back at yearbooks and Facebook pictures I am completely astounded at all the […]

WAKE UP AMERICA! This is what happens when video comes on the scene and white people can't white wash our activists any more. LISTEN TO THIS TRUTH. Chairman Bobby Seale: Power is the ability to define phenomenon and make it act in a desired manner. The social phenomenon is that in fact US, racist, decadent, […]

"We are an anti-gentrification organization that was founded to unite the struggles of working class people against gentrification, displacement and criminalization." They were in the news yesterday for stopping a homeless camp sweep in Oakland California. Here are their online properties: The United Front Against Displacement | Facebook The United Front Against Displacement - Website […]

Thank you Tara L. Samples for shining a light on this middle ages bullshit that is the Ohio Death Penalty. (Ward 5 Councilwoman Tara Samples introduced a resolution to support a group of bipartisan state lawmakers who again are trying to legislate an end to capital punishment in Ohio.) Shammas Malik AGAIN! You stand on […]

Fred Hampton is a HUGE hero of mine. He was an incredibly enlightened individual. At 21 years old he know that we need to unite all the people to focus on the powerful. This is the only way we will ever win the rights of the oppressed. Yet we can't seem to bring ourselves to […]

Other than a box cutter I carry on me to open boxes of food I give out to homeless people, I have no weapons. No stun gun, no pepper spray, and certainly no guns. I don't want the government to be able to hide behind the convenient excuse that I was a "dangerous, violent man […]

If you have learned nothing else in 2020 I hope you learned that you simply can't ask the government nicely to bring justice to its people. There is no other alternative other than fighting for it.

Ibram X. Kendi 's book "Stamped from the Beginning" is SO powerful. While oppression is everywhere in America, there is not a group that comes anywhere near the downward pressure African Americans have been subjected to ever since the early 1600s. Africans in America have always been seen as ignorant criminals. That's how they were […]

"We got to face some facts. That the masses are poor, that the masses belong to what you call the lower class, and when I talk about the masses, I’m talking about the white masses, I’m talking about the black masses, and the brown masses, and the yellow masses, too….We’re gonna fight racism with solidarity…capitalism […]

Do you know about Bacon's Rebellion? In 1675 he united poor white people and black slaves to fight against rich white people. This is my dream. To unite Proud Boys with Antifa. To unite QAnon with BLM. The powerful have always intentionally divided poor people. And we fall for it every time. United we stand. […]

The January 6, 2021 siege on Capitol Hill is still very fresh in my mind. Three days later (it feels like 3 months later), as you might imagine, I and the rest of the world have some thoughts on the matter. At 7:30am the following morning I wrote this on Twitter and Facebook: Our Trump […]

I've been following this story since it began. Basically, an activist group occupied a hotel and put homeless people in it. Some with chronic illnesses. Some with Covid. And then what happened next is what always happens: The activists were shut down, no real solutions were created. And the only actual solution that came out […]

We in America have been so indoctrinated into the cult of Capitalism that an alternative economic philosophy seems like pure and total madness. I am not a Communist. Not that I have anything against the communist movement. I'm not afraid of Communism as the big and mighty U.S. of A. seems to be. I just […]

“If religion has so neglected the needs of the poor and of the great mass of workers and permitted them to live in the most horrible destitution while comforting them with the solace of a promise of a life after death when all tears shall be wiped away, then that religion is suspect.” This was […]

STAND STRONG @TacHousing! We all must stand with our homeless brothers and sisters in this brutal and cruel and torturous homeless system in America. Tacoma Housing Now Has Occupied A Hotel To Save Homeless People
