Truth.
What deadens us most to God’s presence within us is the inner dialogue that we are continuously engaged in with ourselves, the endless chatter of human thought. I suspect that there is nothing more crucial to true spiritual comfort than being able at times to stop that chatter . — Frederick Buechner

I don’t need to see anymore evidence that we are all in danger. These actions are evil. I will not be silent.
Next will be your neighbors, then your friends then you. He must be stopped. In 1933 people said it will get better, and then the shit hit the fan. We have to make people see that Nazism and fascism is growing fast from TrumpRat and he must be stopped.

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

I am convinced that ALL THIS is a GRAND distraction from the acts against BIPOC immigrants as they are kicked out of their jobs, demonized and dragged out of the country. The evil being hidden by all this chaos is insidiously going forward.

Did you know Hitler DOWNPLAYED his views to get elected?
Did you know it took over ten years for the propaganda to go from ideas to the Star of David edict?
Did you know that life “went on as normal” for most of Germany throughout this whole process?

My moral ire is thoroughly engaged… I’ve decided that this IS indeed Nazi Germany all over again and I WILL CHOOSE the side of the underdog. I will see. And I will say. This is morally unjustifiable. 100% wrong. Evil even.
Unacceptable behavior by our government. We're supposed to take their word for it? No trial? Not even indictments?
We MUST show up at congressional offices and demand that this trafficking stop. Posting online isn't nearly enough.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process.
This is not lawful.

… I decided long ago
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
… Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me…
Never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
… Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all

I’ve counted the cost. I take some precautions. I live my life. AND I speak up.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of voices saying “BUT this has been going on for years—decades or longer even!” As if this is means late-awakenings to REALITY in the US aren’t valid. Not true. It’s validation. Confirmation. And so sad.

All I can say is… I am very deep into my fuck-all-I’m-staying-joyful-anyway phase and so glad. Currently planning our family vacation 🤞for the Summer, working my butt off and consuming very-little-news.

It’s ok to keep on keeping on, heart set on a peaceful and strong functioning life for yourself and your family. The sky is falling. And yet, running around like chickens with our heads cut off will leave room for “them” to win. Keeping on NO MATTER WHAT shows resilience to speak up, always.

The urge to remain in denial is so strong. Become extra-resilient. It’s how we will get through.

Quite sure my parents said these words to me repeatedly in my childhood AS A WARNING AGAINST authoritarianism. Here it is.
If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

This is the truth.
The distance between a legal resident who's not a citizen being deported without due process and a citizen being deported without due process is a hell of a lot shorter than many folks seem to believe, and when it does happen to a citizen, just remember it started here and who was quiet in response.

I’m a Canadian citizen. And a naturalized US citizen. I can’t get a US passport. I am terrified.
You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.
