A moment of intention:

From many places we pray, meditate, and share a focus on imagining a better world for people targeted by an evil government.

We remember people disappearing. May all in hiding, unable to work, pay rent, attend school, or find food be lifted up in light.

Stop cruel leaders.

The main problem with the structure of an agency like ICE is that the majority of those who would want to work for it hate immigrants. Which is why there’s no repairing it. Abolishment is the only cure.

This Minnesota piece about people's furry family members, who suddenly have no owner, carries a similar impact for me.

It feels like the billionaire class is systematically stripping America of democracy from every direction.

Now one of the most important sources of critical, democratic investigative journalism of the past century is being hollowed out.

Concentrated wealth and a free press were never meant to mix.

They’re taking children from Minnesota and locking them up like criminals in detention camps in Texas.

For the love of God, send our kids home and bring an end to this nightmare.

Let this sink in: My Governor is telling us we don't know how many children are being held, where they are, or what their names are.

We just know children are being kidnapped by ICE.

Oh, boy . . .
Minnesota needs to know the number of children in federal detention, who they are, and where they’re being held.

Dems funding ICE feels like a betrayal of trust for anyone whose community is under siege by Fascism.

Yet, keeping government going means people who need it most are cared for and paid. It's not right to leave them hanging.

It's not right to let an oppressive government keep hurting us either.

What's happening here?

Do we think the Epstein Files were altered to target Trump's enemies? To confuse issues and obscure who really was committing serious abuses? Deflect blame? Is Gates lying?

I'm wondering if they're flooding the real information with false information to confuse everything.

I don't know if you have noticed or not but there is something different in the air

Wherever I go now people are kinder, more generous, more interested in the well being of others.

Broad smiles & open eyes. People are seeing each other. Actually listening to the answer after asking, "How are you?"

The character of the monsters running America can be witnessed in every way they treat another human being.

* Imprisoning children
* Hunting the most vulnerable
* Raping children (Epstein Files)
* Vilifying empathetic people
* Threatening allies
* Spreading hate
* Exploitation
* Public homicide

Vampire-like stories (likely something much scarier) will be told for thousands of years about how morally horrible the wealthy ruling class in America is today.

... That is, if we can survive another century with literal monsters pushing humanity and the Earth toward destruction.

It's bizarre to wrap my head around the fact that so many people of "faith" follow leaders like Trump who show no mercy or love.

Many are people who love the same Jesus I love. What happened?

Perhaps they think how you believe, where you're from, and how you look matters more than loving people.

Hey, Kingdom of Denmark, Minnesotan here!

I'm so sorry and embarrassed about Trump's threats against Greenland, undermining NATO, your sovereignty, and everything.

Minnesota is pretty upset with Trump too, and I figure we could team up. Any ideas?

ICE is tear-gassing, kidnapping, and jailing toddlers. It cannot be reformed. Everyone responsible for this must be removed from positions of power and ICE must be abolished.
