Meet the veteran who chases ICE on a scooter Clifford “Buzz” Grambo patrols the streets of Baltimore to keep his neighbors safe—and make federal agents uncomfortable.

“I want their morale as low as possible because a team with low morale is ineffective.”

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

We're now standing at the threshold. This is the most  important moment - in your life. You must know that your  most cherished desire will come true here. Your sincerest  wish, the desire that has made you suffer most.

If not for Chicago, we might not have Labor Day.

Keep your eyes peeled on Monday for a much longer video where I dive into the history of unionization, violent strike suppression, and workers’ victories in Chicago, and how they impacted workers across the country.

Childhood in Tennessee - Runs away - New Orleans - Fights - Is shot - To Galveston - Nacogdoches - The Reverend Green - Judge Holden - An affray - Toadvine - Burning of the hotel - Escape.

S ee the child. He is pale and thin, he wears a thin and ragged linen shirt. He stokes the scullery fire. Outside lie dark turned fields with rags of snow and darker woods beyond that har- bor yet a few last wolves. His folk are known for hewers of wood and drawers of water but in truth his father has been a schoolmas- ter. He lies in drink, he quotes from poets whose names are now lost. The boy crouches by the fire and watches him.

Night of your birth. Thirty-three. The Leonids they were called. God how the stars did fall. I looked for blackness, holes in the heavens. The Dipper stove.

The mother dead these fourteen years did incubate in her own bosom the creature who would carry her off. The father never speaks her name, the child does not know it. He has a sis- ter in this world that he will not see again. He watches, pale and unwashed. He can neither read nor write and in him broods already a taste for mindless violence. All history present in that visage, the child the father of the man.

Five years ago today, cops and militia types encouraged a 17-year old with a 9th grade education to wander into a riot with an AR-15

A man prematurely released from inpatient care for his 2nd suicide attempt in 2 months chased him into a parking lot

The man lunged for the rifle. The kid shot him

Goodnight, friends.

Did you know that Monarch butterfly migration is multigenerational? That is, it takes several successive generations to make the trip. Their individual lifespans are too brief.

People are like that too. We have to persist in hope of what's to come.

I love you.
