Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Just picked up a stack of Red Cards to distribute at THE COURTROOM this Saturday at the Cathedral of Christ the King. The Cards inform federal agents that the bearer chooses to exercise their 4th & 5th Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution. Thanks to Pikeville Pride for providing the Cards!

One of the biggest moments of my career:
USCIS canceled my client’s naturalization oath ceremony. We filed a lawsuit, went to trial, and the judge swore him in right there in the courtroom!
Well done!

We had a great time performing for
The ClubHouse in Prestonsburg on Friday! They were an enthusiastic & responsive audience (w/ the largest beanbag chair we have EVER seen). Thanks for the pizza & cake, & for providing a safe space for Kentuckians ages 16-25! www.facebook.com/615576465365...
Our local CITY GOVERNMENT has paid full-time workers $10/hour while also categorizing them as contractors to avoid paying benefits/overtime/payroll tax. And they regularly post city jobs paying below a living wage for one childless adult and well below the standard pay for such jobs.
Here’s what’s at stake in the shutdown:
If Republicans get their way, 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year.
15 million will lose their health care.
20 million will see their premiums double.
All so they can give a trillion dollar tax break to the 1%.

Delighted to hang out yesterday with my friend @hellokathleenj.bsky.social! She’s a long-time playwright friend who is also a great foster mom to three kids. She and her husband are two of my favorite people. What a blessing to catch up with good friends who are also holy people.
I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.
Make this Nazi asshole on a power trip famous!
