Fears of his cult should not make him exempt from the rules of law. Period. The implication that he’s too powerful to hold accountable is unacceptable.

a few years ago having a coffee in silver lake, I began waxing aloud about cannonball’s genius tension release on KoB. An elderly black woman sharing my bench turned and said, “young man, it’s so nice to hear you speak of Julian that way. I’m his widow.”

any of us voicing the argument will lose friends for it; yet that cannot matter: the US is funding a genocide against the Palestinian people; and it can't be excused simply because Israel has been attacked and are enraged. they're willfully killing civilians. today. right now.

This loss is unimaginable right now. Few in my lifetime have lived as fearlessly, as generously, as did dr paul farmer. I weep for the world that must continue without him, though the North Star of his good works still there to follow, if we choose…if we dare to be so selfless.
Partners In Health announced that its founder, Dr. Paul Farmer, unexpectedly passed away today in his sleep while in Rwanda.
Dr. Farmer was 62 years old. He is survived by his wife, Didi Bertrand Farmer, and their three children.

these times that we endure with such fear are but a mirror before us; and look we must, if we care to change anything of who we see ourselves to be. our republic is deeply flawed; our humanity redeemable. to which of those two things we are most devoted is wholly up to us.

It’s the anniversary of the electric-chair execution of George Junius Stinney, Jr. in South Carolina in 1944. He was 14, weighed 95 lbs, and had to sit on his Bible for his head to reach the metal helmet of the electric chair. 70 years later, he was exonerated. Lord, have mercy.
