Broadview Chicago ICE facility- ICE shoots pastor in prayer on the head with non-lethal rubber bullets.

These bullets are supposed to be used on large muscle groups such as thighs or buttocks.

These are scary times, and it’s okay to feel afraid. The challenge is learning how to respond instead of retreating. This piece offers insight into managing that fear and transforming it into courage, understanding, and tangible steps forward.

The Fear Factor

The right and the left both use fear to drive politics, but the difference in how is striking

The way he was “welcomed” in England with the banners and projections at the Windsor castle was brilliant!

I normally don’t like country because it’s generally the same three premise. But this one is not bad and truthful!

Stephen Millers reaction to AOC belittling him.

Notice his face turning red, yea… he’s “big mad”. Please stay safe @aoc.bsky.social

I love your plight but I fear for your safety. Unhinged people do terrible things. Just look at the state of our nation.

I love you passion and wish you well!

Genocide is never the answer! People losing their lives for selfish individuals should not be normalized. It’s heinous and should be stopped!

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

happy bday writer James Whitcomb Riley, b.1849, Greenfield, IN.

What delightful hosts are they—
Life and Love!
Lingeringly I turn away,
This late hour, yet glad enough
They have not withheld from me
Their high hospitality.
So, with face lit with delight
And all gratitude, I stay...
