Pause. Breathe. Center.

This world may feel messed up, but we have this beauty. We have each other to live and fight for.

The Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building looms in the background of the camp at Coldwater Spring, or Mni Owe Sni, at Fort Snelling along the Mississippi River — where the U.S. government in the mid-1800s killed hundreds of Dakota people and imprisoned more than 1,600 in a concentration camp.

I much prefer being around people who try to improve things, even if they ultimately aren't successful, rather than folks who assume nothing will ever change.

I’ve been looking for some purely positive work that can be done in this time, while we actively push back against this massive, constructed chaos. It’s something responsive to what I believe is a deeper issue beneath much of that chaos: 1/3 www.patreon.com/posts/after-...

I truly believe discourse about voters (especially those who may have voted for Trump) would go better on this app if everyone was using the spectrum of allies as a framework

We’ve been here before. We’ve seen our government round up and imprison citizens based on racial profiling. We’ve seen them murder peaceful people in cold blood. We’ve seen them create groups of people that are deemed “lesser than.”

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

Did a thing today that has been mentally difficult to get myself to do because <gestures at the world> and if you need to hear it, it’s ok to just put one foot in front of the other without being entirely sure if you can stay upright 10 steps later

You’ll probably surprise yourself

You need to know what you're fighting for.

You need to know what you, PERSONALLY, are fighting for.

And that love needs to be the foundation of your efforts.

That love is how you, personally, help ensure there is something worth living for AFTER we get through this.

It’s never been easier for me to answer questions.
Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

“All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dem[ocrat]s to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump—3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.”"

This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
