The Akron mayor and city council are trying to ram a huge apartment rental development in a neighborhood that no one in the neighborhood wants. This is my take on this situation. If you have missed any shows they are now archived in a podcast. You can check them out on my blog. Or you […]
I don't typically write these kinds of posts simply because throwing myself a pity party is not really my style. "Suck it up, buttercup" is how I live my life. But I guess there might be some worth in recording that I feel this way from time to time. There was a city-wide camp sweep […]
Sage Against The Machine Podcast Episode 105 City council member Shammas Malik liked the title of last week's podcast so much that he referenced it in a speech at the city council meeting this past week. So, since he liked it so much, I thought I'd give him a Part 2: All Politicians Are Slime […]
If I put so much as one tent on my land this winter or any time going forward I will now face fines and jail time for doing so. This fact makes me realize EXACTLY how society feels about the houseless community. They are considered hated, diseased rats that must either COMPLY OR DIE. We […]
I came across this Guardian article on this study concerning Housing First:Stable housing helps the homeless but it doesn’t cure all their problems | Torsten Bell | The Guardian Housing First dominates Democrat ideology in America to solve homelessness. The only thing a homeless person is missing is a house. This is so obviously wrong […]
I have debated if the work I'm doing is similar to the Underground Railroad in Slave America or Jewish rescuers in Nazi Germany. The biggest disconnect between slaves and homeless people is that slaves were not being eradicated. They were property that slave holders wanted returned. Nazi extermination only wanted one thing: to wipe Jews […]

"PLEASE SAGE! MAKE FUN OF COPS AGAIN." A Communist friend of mine recently asked me to get back to the energy where I viscously, brutally and vulgarly verbally attacked racist and murdering cops. So, instead, I thought it would be more fun to attack his sacred cow: COMMUNISM. (Everyone loves when I attack their enemies. […]
The people of Akron are why I keep fighting this god-awful system that looks to keep the people under their heel while funneling mountains of cash to corporations. You are SO good and SO hopeful and SO resilient. You deserve SO much better than the crumbs you have been given. I love so many things […]
We are having a pretty intense conversation in my family right now about topics that maybe are better left unsaid. In this case I had mentioned that maybe my son and his cousin (a girl) should get together. Everyone was mortified. (I will admit that I do love a provocative conversation. A good shock to […]

These are the people most closely involved in the murder of Na’Kia Crawford. (Her murder trial is going on right now.) Adarus and Jaion were in the car where one of them pulled the trigger and murdered Na'Kia. Officer Jackson (I think this is him) was the first person on the scene. Lynn is Na'Kia's […]

A homeless person messaged me recently (I hadn't talked to her in MONTHS.)She said she needs her mail and a phone she had sent to my office immediately or she was going to "Report" me. These encounters are where the learning in life is most important for my personal journey. "No good deed goes unpunished" […]

Episode 100 Based on these 4 items I believe we have enough information to determine that Chief Mylett is not the right person for the job of Akron Police Chief and should resign: Ethan Liming - downplaying the gun he used to attack those young Black men and demonizing the Black men. Jayland Walker - […]
Fox News loves to bash Democrats about homelessness. They don't ever come up with their own ideas. But they are right. Homelessness in America is a nightmare and it's all because of Democratic policies.
We need to talk about why homeless people from a Hurricane get instant access to an arena for shelter and hundreds of thousands of Americans who have been stranded on the streets of the richest country in the world get nothing.

September 29 is the day some people in the West celebrate Michaelmas. Basically, because it is near the autumnal equinox, the celebration is about being brave as darkness begins to envelope us. In Waldorf schools they often celebrate this with a story of villagers channeling the bravery of Michaelmas to fight the dragon. At the […]

I doubt I'll ever write an autobiography. It's like masturbating and asking people to watch. It's just a weird exercise for people who probably spent their entire lives looking for approval through some action they did. I'm not saying that I'm not one of those guys. I certainly am. But an autobiography just feels too […]
This is a really important article on the effectiveness of Tiny Homes for homeless people: Do trendy tiny really homes work as a solution to homelessness? (It's paywalled. So I'm giving you an overview here.) It's put out by Mercury News. "To explore that question, the Bay Area News Group spent four months following several […]
THE DRAW OF THE STREET Something we aren’t discussing much when we discuss homelessness and addiction is how the street pulls you in. And it’s not just homeless people, addicted people and drug dealers. It’s cops and homeless helpers and harm reduction people. It’s me. The street has a small amount of high risk. You […]

The Tyrone Brown case might be even more important than the Jayland Walker case in Akron (Who was unarmed and was shot over 40 times by Akron police). There are some BIG claims on both sides. The police are saying they did nothing wrong. Rev. Ray Greene of Akron's Freedom BLOC and Jayland Walker's attorney, […]
