My birthmom, who died in 2016, visited me in a dream last night. She & I flew in an invisible vehicle over lake & woodland to attend a meditation group I facilitate. We were a bit worried about the wind blowing dirt thru our hair, but it felt good.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

It's vitally important that the videos of the killing by ICE remain public & also no individual not directly involved in reporting on or prosecuting a case about the killing has an obligation to witness them. We can all only carry so much, & we can trust each other to hold up their part of the work.
