There are years that asked questions and years that answered. - Octavia Butler

I had jury duty yesterday. I get called every year. Seriously. My laptop automatically connects to the courthouse WiFi -that’s how often I’m summoned. But because of what I do, I am never chosen. (Probably never will be). But this was my first time going thru voir dire for a murder trial.

From now until Thursday, I'll be specifically helping Justin. He wears a 44in in pants and 2xl in shirts. Our Amazon Wishlist is updated for his pants and shirts. And all donations will go directly to him. I, personally, believe in him.

I've been feeding & clothing the houseless for over a decade now. Some stories stick out. I'm helping this guy now. His name is Justin and he's 38 years old. He was released last November. He starts a job on Wednesday and needs some steel toe boots and some clothes.

This is called a thought crime. Be afraid. Seriously. If they can arrest him for having a comic, they can arrest YOU for having a sign.

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.
