Friday (5/15) over Rt. 4 in Paramus, NJ with the Visibility Brigade. The continued suppression of minority voters in this country is anti-democratic, and we need to push back mightily #visibiltybrigade
These are photos from the russian attack on Kyiv overnight. It was the largest drone attack of the war. I want to remind all of us that it is still happening. These are photos by a friend showing a school that was destroyed. At least 9 people were killed, and dozens were injured. Also, 18 apartments were destroyed, and among the dead was a 12-year-old girl. #ukraine Update 5/15 - the death toll is now 24, including three teenagers.
Where I was on Friday afternoon (5/8/2026). The suppression of the minority vote and many other maneuvers in this country are rolling back much that was gained in the Civil Rights movement. Don't be silent about it. #visibilitybrigade
There sure is a lot of "stuff" (PG) going on right now, but I thought it would be nice to share photos of these trees from the New Jersey State Botanical Garden at Skylands from yesterday (4/7/26)
No Kings today in Wayne, NJ! SO MANY PEOPLE!! Pastor Alison and her 94-year-old Dad were there with us! (see photos as you swipe). And a Woody Guthrie sing-along at the end!
I recommend listening to "American Obituary" from U2's Days of Ash release. Here are some lyrics from this song that have stirred me:
"The power of the people is much stronger than the people in power," and "I love you more than hate loves war." I hope this inspires you, too.

It is the unfortunate fourth anniversary of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Please do what you can to support Ukraine - call your congressional representatives and tell them to prioritize Ukraine is one important thing you can do.
President Zelenskyy today said, "A trip to Ukraine might make it clear to Trump who the aggressor is here and who must be pressuredâ. He continued: âThis is not a street fight â it is an attack by a sick state on a sovereign one. He [Putin] is the cause of its beginning and the obstacle to its end. And it is Russia that must be put in its place. So that there can be real peace.â
The first photo: âYou are trying to breathe, but you canâtâ ⌠a girl at the coffin of two-year-old Anhelina Halych, killed in a Russian strike on Kyiv.
The current administration is moving to arrest thousands of people already legally admitted to the US as refugees and detain them indefinitely for aggressive ârescreening.â
The memo reverses a policy that said failure to apply for a green card within a year of admission to the US was an insufficient basis for such an arrest or detention.
They are changing the rules to arrest more people since they are apparently not collecting enough bodies. Link to the story in comments.
