Work 4 Peace,Hold All Life Sacred,Eliminate Violence! I am on my mobile version of the door-to-door, going town-to-town holding readings/gatherings/discussions of my book "But What Can I Do?" This is my often neglected blog mostly about my travels since 9/11 as I engage in dialogue and actions. It is steaming with my opinions, insights, analyses toward that end of holding all life sacred, dismantling the empire and eliminating violence while creating the society we want ALL to thrive in

Court



Every single black person was remanded back into jail; the one white person, the only one who had a lawyer was the one person the judge allowed to be released on their own recognizance. 

One of those Black people was a womon who because 20 years ago she had been remanded on drug charges. She was in jail today because she was accused of going into macy’s and taking a coat – a customer’s coat, not a new one macy's was selling – the weather is like 10 degrees.

And Tim won't share his coat.
