When they defeat ICE, Minnesota will have 34,000 trained volunteers to observe the police
I'm attending Showing Up for Racial Justice's event, “Solidarity Mobilizations Training: ICE Out of Minnesota and Out of Everywhere” - sign up now to join me www.mobilize.us/surj/event/8...
There are more of us than there are of them. Our sincere love for each other and our simple wish to live is stronger than their hate.
Here is a link hopefully it works www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Dan and Jane resisted the idea that they had become political. A better word, Jane said, was humanist. Their anger was unmistakable as they told me that the Trump administration was violating basic Christian principles. “It became clear very quickly that ICE is the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo boys. They’ve given them uniforms and let them run wild,” Dan said. He attended a legal-observer training—which happened to have been on the day Good was killed—and now the couple delivers groceries regularly to immigrant families in Minneapolis. This past Friday, Dan joined thousands of others at a protest in Minneapolis, where his fingers were frostbitten in the –9 degrees Fahrenheit weather.
Reflecting on THE atlantic article. It’s a searing, enraging, heartbreaking piece but more than that - it should be comforting to good people, and scary for bad guys.
I believe that we can protect our neighbors when the violence comes, and I know there are more of us than there are of them

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.
They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”
Relearn this lesson from the countless videos of ICE agents running away and of communities shielding each other:
the only power Fear holds is the power we grant it. when we stand firm and refuse, it crumbles.
all power stems from the consent of the governed.
Singers now processing through the neighborhood, aware that ICE has been active in the general area.
In extraordinary message, Fed chair announces that he’s being extorted/coerced by the US government under color of law.
This is true. We may not be able to stop everything but we can sure as hell slow it down

The news out of Louisville is tough tonight as the death toll has now reached at least 7, with that number expected to rise. First responders are onsite and working hard to extinguish the fire and continue the investigation. 1/3

What would Jesus say about transferring wealth to the rich? No speculation needed. "Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep" (Lk. 6: 24-26).
We are not a distraction we are real people facing real existential threats
transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it
There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.
Just heard this beautiful encouragement in a trans/nonbinary group:
🏳️⚧️Just follow your gender euphoria. Follow the joy. Find your bliss. The rest is background noise.🏳️⚧️

I had the incredible opportunity to talk with one of my longtime artistic heroes, @derekwwebb.bsky.social, about his powerful "Survival Songs"—written as an act of solidarity with the queer community. Check out our conversation and spread the word about the new album!
LOVE matt and loved this conversation.
Influential fourth-century saints Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzus were so close that Gregory said they were like “two bodies with a single spirit.” Their example of love between men can inspire LGBTQ people today. Gregory's feast days include May 9. #faithfullyLGBT qspirit.net/basil-gregor...
this is called eugenics
For every conservative telling me the church is too woke there are like 10 people saying the woke is why they joined. The future of the church is embodied morality and Christian values in the world. ⚓
Some some folks are talking about the #ReligiousLeft this afternoon, allow me to recommend what I happen to believe is a pretty good book on that topic: bookshop.org/p/books/amer...
