Cowards everywhere these days. We're really going to pretend like the 10-minute red face sequence in Peter Pan isn't deeply problematic because some carnival barker is President now? That it's totally normal and appropriate for a character to be named Jim the Crow? Nah, screw that wapo.st/4hPZ3pX

The world is an unmitigated disaster right now but my 6-year-old gets it.

I love @invisiblepeople.tv work and Kris Freed may be my #1 favorite co-conspirator in the work to end homelessness over the years. Put them together? Magic. There's no key takeaways from this conversation. Listen to the whole thing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wlS...

The Trump administration has pulled down the Violence Against Women Act landing page from HUD.gov. I guess serving survivors of domestic violence is “woke” now? I’d say I’m surprised but when the President is a widely known unrepentant serial abuser I guess I shouldn’t be shocked.

Quick note to all the folks saying “give Trump a chance” it’s been a week now and he’s banned vetted refugees, set quotas for deportations and banned me from saying a list of words at work. So…pretty much everything we were expecting has happened and it’s miserable. And eggs are still $7 a dozen.

I love Pennsylvania so much (Go Birds! 🦅) but we have the absolute sorriest pair of Senators of any State in the nation. Both Fetterman and McCormick send calls straight to voicemail and both voicemail boxes are completely full. Pathetic representation.

"Jordan’s murder exposes a mounting societal bloodlust to further punish already marginalized people. Jordan’s case shows how society is increasingly conflating racism, criminality, and homelessness in dangerous, inaccurate, and even deadly ways." invisiblepeople.tv/murdered-wit...

I've never regretted a vote more than the one I cast for John Fetterman for Senator from PA. He’s been terrible in many ways but co-sponsoring this bill that will allow mere accusations of wrongdoing to up-end the lives of immigrants in our community is the final straw. rollcall.com/2025/01/20/d...

A lot has been written about Kensington and the intersection of drug addiction and homelessness. 99% of it is total bullshit. @invisiblepeople.tv absolutely NAILS it treating the people that live + work there with dignity, respect and autonomy in telling their stories www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gRc...

Update: we won. Unfortunately, this will not be the final fight either here in the City, across the County and across the country but we will keep fighting to preserve people’s dignity and choice until every single person has a home. lancasteronline.com/news/local/l...

2025 is going to be a year of political action to protect the most vulnerable in our communities. The first opportunity to do this is happening right now- and it is right here in Lancaster with our own "progressive" City government. secure.everyaction.com/jEeXB3l5SE2v...

One of the most important parts of this story is that, despite another dramatic increase in homelessness nationally, Veteran homelessness continued to decrease. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2024/...

This cop better hope God is a God of mercy, because this is among the most heinous things I've ever seen.
