I will never understand how soldiers carrying weapons, heavily outfitted to protect them from head to toe are afraid of those who protest, calling them names, tossing sandwiches, even small rocks being thrown are a threat to their safety.

Narrator: This is fascism.

The image is an X post by Mike Nellis (@MikeNellis
) from 19 hours ago, stating: "So let me get this straight: a Blackhawk helicopter and dozens of masked, armed federal agents roll up on a Chicago apartment building, cuff everyone—including kids—and then run checks for warrants and immigration status? What the hell is going on in this country? How is that not fascism?" The post includes a verified badge.

And so: If they speak another or more than one language, have a darker skin pigmentation, have less money to live on, have a disability , don't believe as you, they don't deserve even the most basic services and freedoms that you enjoy? Call them"vermin" or "animals"? Is it loyalty or hate?

I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination to lead the Defense Department. Trump's pick would undermine our national security. app.sosha.ai/s/epEsFU8g

Steven Miller has been against immigrants since he was in high school in Santa Monica. He promoted racist ideology and fought equity and inclusion.

Can he just STOP signing his name? Where is his plan for America?

Living in our shadow is not an easy task. We are asked to: Stop blaming others, take responsibility, move slowly, deepen awareness, hold paradox, open our hearts, sacrifice our ideals of perfection, and live the mystery. Richard Rohr.

The person who wishes to have any answer to the problem of evil, first and foremost has need of self knowledge. The utmost possible knowledge of their own wholeness: Relentlessly know how much good they can do and the crimes they are capable of. Don't regard one is real and the other an illusion.
