When I think about all the old growth forests in my home state that were destroyed I want to physically fight people. The heartland is a wasteland. It is an apocalyptic landscape to my eyes. Every young forest that struggles to exist within it is a tiny scream.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Correction, it is not tfg’s ballroom—that land and building belongs to the people of the US. The ballroom is ours, without permission, yes, but ours.
If I “modified” the structure of the rental I live in, I’d be kicked out and charged for repairs.
Hint hint.

I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

They never outnumbered us. Somehow, they were able to influence the media with their rebellion rhetoric & grab all the attention. Another "movement" on the right that crashed and burned because they touted their Christianity, but never once acted like Christians.

This time to defy those that would divide us and come together as neighbors and fellow citizens.
