The photo/documentary community lost a bright light today.

When I first met Sara Terry in in Perpignan in 2012, I knew I'd encountered a force of nature.

RIP, Sara. You have changed the world for the better with your consistent voice advocating for justice.

I just listened to, in these deeply troubled times, a recitation of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, assessing the cost of a brutal Civil War that was not yet finished.

I felt tears welling up, hoping not to revisit such insanity.

Too complimentary.

Little factoid: The last coffee house I played (guitar, harmonica and sang) was to warm up for Allen Ginsberg in Boulder, Colorado. It was about 1983-84. When I first picked up a camera, I set down my guitar.

This is pure cruelty. She should never have had to go through this.

It's because the purveyors of this madness are calculated and incremental. They have studied how to kill democracy. We're the frog in the pot of slowly heated water that water now, w/ the rising tide of censorship & executive branch extortion of universities, media, etc., is near the boiling point.

Jimmy Kimmel, if you’re reading this: the door is open. We would love for you to join the MeidasTouch Network.

We just learned that Disney/ABC has indefinitely suspended you from the network.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Ping pong!

Someone followed me today. So, I followed back. Then they said they wanted to purchase NFT's of my work, a clear tell of a scam artist. So, I blocked them.

We have to act rationally and not be shamed for our concern. I have Democracy Derangement Syndrome.

Someone said, the road to authoritarianism is paved with, "oh, you're overreacting".

No, actually, we are being slow walked to a place we do not want to be.

Thanks for being there, Andy.

The (Epstein Files) US President signed an executive order (Epstein Files) stating (Epstein Files) a mandatory one-year prison term (Epstein Files) for burning an American flag (Epstein Files).

We're not distracted.
