“Please try to remember that what they believe, as well as what they do and cause you to endure, does not testify to your inferiority but to their inhumanity and fear.”
— James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time (1962)

People not in the Epstein files:

- drag queens
- transgender athletes
- librarians
- Black journalists
- “radical leftist scum”
- hungry family needing SNAP benefits
- workers on strike
- the cast of Sesame Street

This comment still rings true:

“First they came for the journalists
and I did not speak out
because no one knew what happened.”

Keith never got to pop the champagne on New Year’s Eve when he was k*lled by an off-duty I*CE officer.

He should still be here and he deserves to be remembered.

Keith Porter Jr. was a 43 year old father of two, he was beloved by his coworkers and customers at Home Depot, he was working on a documentary for people of color in San Bernardino and how they coped with the pandemic, he was raising funds to support battered women.

My patient’s last words on her deathbed with dozens of family with her:

“Take care of all of yourselves. Please be united. I can’t do it for you anymore.”

and had planned on becoming a neonatal nurse. Her family and friends called her “Bre,” “Breeway,” and “Breezy.” She should still be here and deserves to be remembered.

Breonna Taylor's legacy: Caring, ‘super goofy’ and treasured her job as a paramedic As an EMT, Taylor would sometimes work 15-hour shifts. “Literally she goes out her way for everybody. She would go above and beyond.”

Breonna Taylor was a paramedic and then an ER Tech and PRN, she worked up to 15 hour shifts and was on the frontlines in 2020. She was 26 years old, the first grandchild of her family, a godmother, loved to play board games,

Any therapist or clergy or educator who cannot speak up against f*scism and only remains “inspiring” is unqualified for their role.

You cannot self-help your way out of state-sponsored violence any more than you can rearrange some thoughts to cure trauma.

The ICU nurse Alex Pretti, murdered by 🧊, was also working on scientific research to help prevent recurrent C. diff, a very common infection in hospitals. His research would certainly improve and save many lives.

Alex is third here with his colleagues. www.vacsp.research.va.gov/CSP_2004/CSP...

organizing mutual aid, raising funds for organizations, and archiving this moment in history.

These are the very actions that push back against f*scism and give back power and justice to the people.

I will never believe that protests are just “virtue signaling” or “performative.”

Many of these protests are also actively blocking I*E, breaking up any forms of militarization, sheltering and providing for at risk families,

kidnappers detaining children and camping out at immigration hearings,

backed by a clown government posting AI cartoons and propaganda.

You cannot “train” this away.
Abolish the whole damn thing.

There is no safe or sane world you can give “better training” to

armed militarized federal agents who clap after k*llong a man filming them,

masked N*zi wh*te supremacists,

cosplay cowboy colonizers who teargas six year olds,

A racist once told my mother to her face that she was stupid because of her accent,

my mother said
“I can speak two languages and I’m smart in Korean. So that makes you stupid AND racist.”

Bringing that up again for reasons.

I grieve every elder and mentor and leader that ever I trusted who signed off on this f*scist admin.

That grief hurts. It’s an angry and exhausting grief. I believe they’re being deceived and I won’t give up on them, but I can’t be safe with them in the same room.

You cannot claim you are pro-life if you claim you are pro-ICE.

“History weeps as it retraces the parabola.”
— Yi Sang, 1910-1937, Korean poet and revolutionary under colonial rule

I’m learning that the real ones have always been real ones. And if they messed up, they always apologized, made amends, dug deep, did better. That’s what real ones do.

I’m very honored & happy to be interviewed by @npr.org to share about my hospital chaplaincy work & why it’s so hard to talk about death, dying, & grief.

NPR has always been my dream interview. Thank you to the amazing team who made me sound smarter than I really am. 🫶🙏

every child without meals and medicine,

every tender spirit whose mental health needed better.

I applaud those of us who made it,
but so many didn’t.
I grieve and honor every soul who should still be here.

My heart is with every soul who did not make it through this year,

every child and mother and father and sibling buried under rubble,

every family detained and separated and starved,

every student l*nched or k*lled in another preventable sh**ting,

“Financially devastating but morally exhilarating” goes so hard.

I’m grieving so many people I had trusted as elders and mentors and leaders, but showed themselves as g*nocide apologists and viciously against immigrants and children.

I have hope for them, I won’t give up on them, but I cannot go with them, and I will not find safety with them in the same room.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

Beautiful interview with @jspark3000.bsky.social

How to cope with 'death anxiety,' according to a hospital chaplain www.npr.org/2025/12/30/n...

probably an insignificant brag since AI is almost the norm now and I’m just one tiny author so maybe it doesn’t matter.

Just wanted to share as it feels important to me that my writing and my story is my own.

(Anyone else? ✍️)

I just finished writing my third book and I’m proud and happy to say that not a single word of the book was generated by AI. Neither were my other books.

I also disabled AI search on my browser so I had to dig into the results any time I searched through them.
