This is where I talk about my darker, more angry thoughts.

I was thinking about this guy this morning, who is probably going to lose his house. His mom died a couple years ago and neither he or his siblings did anything about her estate. She owned this house outright. None of his brothers or sisters wanted the house, but he needed the house. So he…

Here we go again. The power-mongers of Akron are going to try to buy yet another Akron Mayoral election. And they are going to rely on your political apathy to do it. Here are 13 reasons you should NOT vote for Marco Sommerville for mayor: 1. Retired Akron Children’s Hospital CEO and President Bill Considine.2.…

Overthrow the government. You can listen to the audio here: If you have missed any shows they are now archived in a podcast. You can check them out on my blog. Or you can get them on your favorite podcasting platform. Sage Against The Machine on Spotify Sage Against The Machine on Stitcher Sage Against…

This is an unlawful eviction. Only homeless people are given 5 days to evict. And isn’t there a moratorium on evictions anyway? San Rafael homeless campers evicted from site below freeway Caltrans officials served the campers an eviction notice on Friday, giving them until 8 a.m. on Tuesday to vacate the site, Barclay said.

Before they slip away and become a mash of impressionistic wisps of memory, I wanted to record my feelings the day after the November 3, 2020 election between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Those names are burned into our brains today. But just as last year’s blockbuster movies have faded from our memory, so will…

Community is this HUGE theme in my life. If we can come together I truly believe we can solve all the world’s problems. But the problem is “They” don’t want that. That love keeping us divided. If we can overcome that division I truly believe we can change the world. To that end, I’ve set…

This is a friend of mine’s favorite verse in the Bible: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;A time to kill, and a time…

It’s hard to argue with reincarnation when you understand the fundamental laws of energy in the universe. The first law of Thermodynamics states: The total amount of energy and matter in the Universe remains constant, merely changing from one form to another. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In essence, energy can be converted from one…

This is my friend Gary. I won’t tell you how many felony “numbers” he has. But it’s not just a few. He’s the real deal.  We have a true friendship. My life is SO much fuller and better for being friends with Gary. I love you man.

The sentiment of this sign keeps me marching forward. “I just want to live.” For me, it’s not about the food or the tents or any of that. For me, it’s about acceptance. Homeless people are going through a dark part of their journey. And the LAST thing they need is us telling them they…

To you, this may look like an empty field. To me it looks like destruction. This was a home. This was a village to people who the rest of society gave up on. And they were not allowed to exist. They were considered illegal. Citizens of their own country, considered illegal. There is an institutional…

I see myself as a freedom fighter. We have institutionalized homelessness in America. Government and corporate service providers have thrown up their hands. “They just don’t want our help.” So people are left to rot on the streets and in the woods. We live in a world where giving human beings a toilet is “encouraging…

I wanted to point this picture out for exactly what it is: Hate. It is hate directed towards addicted people.  The reason I want to point it out is because it is also VERY acceptable in most of American society. The words “Grow Up” in the bottom right reflect a complete ignorance of what an…

I get to go out today and spend time with some of the most amazing and cool people I’ve ever met in my life. I bring food and water out to some homeless people on Fridays.I can’t think of any work in my life that makes me feel more alive, real and honest. #homelessness

Our law firm, Institute for Justice, has fought as hard as anyone in this battle for the rights of homeless people. Our case has always been that a person should be allowed to shelter those most desperately in need on his own personal property. We have been beaten down every step of the way on…
