NEW: I've published a new post on Substack about the targeted explosion and fire outside my home.
At the suggestion of a friend, I'm sharing a one-minute raw video of the fire. This was arson.
This is why I haven't slept. This is why I'm furious.

Self-identified Republicans like Dustin Grage have shifted from promoting pro-life causes to seeking social media attention by normalizing death with their commentary about Minneapolis.
It's not complicated: Alex Pretti did not deserve to die.

I rarely discuss my faith, but I've been praying more recently. Minnesota is in turmoil, and this makes me think about my favorite verse:
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." - Matthew 5:9
I hope that the peacemakers speak loudly tomorrow.

🗳️ Take: The White House pushing a doctored photo of Nekima Levy Armstrong is an obscene abuse of the public's trust. It's petty, dishonest, and wrong. Minnesotans already question the credibility of the White House and DHS; this stunt proves why and deepens the divide.

NEW: Van Jones says the real divide over ICE isn't political, it's perceptual.
He's right.
I just dropped a new post, along with links to podcast episodes, that dig into how we talk (and don't talk) about ICE enforcement.

I can't sleep after watching the unrest in Minneapolis tonight. The images made me think of Matthew 12:25:
"Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and no town or house divided against itself will stand."
We must come together, or we will tear ourselves apart.

Here's my hope for tomorrow: our leaders stop trying to win on social media and start leading together to solve real problems. Log off. Sit down. Work together. Talk to each other. That's how progress will actually happen.
