A monk walks toward the Peace Gathering and Concluding Ceremony at the Lincoln Memorial. Fingers forming the ancient gesture of teaching — not to instruct, but to remind.
Peace is not argued.
It is practiced.

I and millions of Americans believe exactly the same thing Kasparov does.
Too many troops, too many new prisons, too much money not under Congressional supervision.
We're not just witnessing a mass deportation scheme anymore.
This is something significantly bigger and scarier.

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) to Acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons: "People are simply making valid observations about your tactics, which are un-American and outright fascist. If you don't want to be called a fascist regime or secret police, then stop acting like one."

Several thousand admirers turned out at the National Cathedral and along embassy row to be in the presence of the monks who walked from Texas to the nation’s capital, to “raise awareness and mindfulness.” #PeaceWalkDC #PeaceWalk #MonksWalkingForPeace #MonksWalk

I will not support any funding deal that puts money in the hands of Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, and this violent agency. Defund and abolish ICE now.

U.K. might lose a prime minister because a guy who worked for him knew another guy who hung out with Epstein. Meanwhile the U.S. opposition party is telling our President, who was Epstein's best friend, that his secret police should get better training so their public street murders look less messy.

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy.

In 1858, the men of Oberlin, OH, Black and White, marched to Wellington where a federal agent had taken the fugitive John Price and was preparing to return him to slavery. The Oberlin men seized John Price and sent him to freedom in Canada.
We must be like the Oberlin-Wellington rescuers of 1858!

This was as far as I made it yesterday before I turned my ankle walking across an ice mound. ICE is treacherous !!!
You know what you will never see the National Guard doing in DC? Picking up a shovel and helping to dig the city out. Too busy posing for pictures in the Metro.

The weather is crazy here right now but Chicago always shows up!
It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

DC today. Angelic troublemakers led a student walkout demanding human justice and an end to ICE. The march began in Shaw–Howard U and moved toward the White House.
Students braved bitter cold and punishing wind for a peaceful, boisterous demonstration.
