We can’t make someone’s life worth more than another be used they are “good” or “evil” — that isn’t ok. That’s why we are in this mess.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

My neighbor who is moving to CA after years of living in Seattle told me today I was the only person in the building - and in the neighborhood — that was ever friendly to him or go to know him or said hi on the street. Do better, Seattle!

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

What a clear statement. Sobbing. Thank you Rachel Sayre!!
Sayre: "My background is in international humanitarian response in conflict zones in Yemen, Haiti, Syria, Iraq, and Ukraine. What I've seen here is what I've seen there. A powerful entity violently and intentionally terrorizing people."

Friends.
I recommend unplugging when you feel safe to breathe. Put your phone down.
Slow your heart rate.
This is too much.

You do not have to force yourself to watch someone being executed, to watch the ethnic cleaning happening to know it is happening.

Reminder that you do not need to force yourself to see the violence that is happening. You can get to know your neighbors and make a plan to feed people who can’t leave their homes.

I dreamt I was young - maybe 19 — and I gave a speech about the importance of mail in voting to a large crowd, maybe in a Capitol building — my parents stood by and watched me. I’m trying to defend democracy - even in my sleep.

A fact that's hard to believe for many people outside of MN:
I have to be vetted to join my local signal group that patrols our local elementary to keep federal agents from kidnapping students bc those same feds are infiltrating those chats to better target vulnerable people for abduction.

In December, Pastor Sergio Amezcua put out a sign-up for Minnesotans who were afraid to leave their homes and needed grocery deliveries. Since then, his church, Dios Habla Hoy, has delivered food to 17,000 families.
