Flight attendants on board ICE Air were instructed to follow strict rules:

Don’t talk to the detainees.

Don’t feed them.

Don’t make eye contact.

“You don’t do nothing. Just sit down in your seats and be quiet.”

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work.

I don’t let bullies win.

Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.

We light a candle in their memory.

We repeat #NeverAgain … but did we mean it?

The history of #Auschwitz is complex. It combined two functions: a concentration camp and an extermination center. It was used by the Nazi Germans to persecute different groups of people. This online lesson explains the most important aspects: http://lekcja.auschwitz.org/en_1/

David French argued Renee Good's murder is an example of the US having two sytems of law: orderly for friends & belligerent for foes. @victorerikray.bsky.social corrects him: US law has always promised fascism for non-whites & those who stand with them.

I’m really disappointed in everyone with a platform that isn’t speaking out against injustice. I see the behavior and taking notes. Notes for who I won’t be working with or collaborating with in the future. Too many worried about their follower count and not their own morals.

On Twitter in 2016 I made a conscious call to split my magic and politics content, and it got such that folks didnt even know I was a priest and organizer. On bsky I decided to fuse the two because this is the world I live in. My numbers have suffered hugely but I can't play cards if I'm dead.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

I have bought all the Ice Outs I can find locally and will be posting some of these cards around town.

I know it's the smallest of small things, but I feel like this card is a good way to spread the message. People are being kidnapped and cruelly murdered in the streets. Fuck ICE.

We are all drowning in a pool of systemic propaganda so I understand why the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti feel esp shocking and I think it is important to do the internal work of asking yourself, if this applies to you, why the deaths of immigrants/Black folks don't shock in the same way

I have been thinking all day about the number of times unarmed Black people were killed by police on the pretext that their cell phone looked like a gun. And people would say “oh but you just don‘t know what the truth is.” Well here it is.
OMG. "DHS said the episode began after a man approached Border Patrol agents with a handgun and they tried to disarm him. But footage from the scene shows the man was holding a phone in his hand, not a gun, when federal agents took him to the ground and shot him." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...
