in unaccountable faith in stubborn hope in love that illumines every broken thing it finds.

Blessed are you
who bear the light
in unbearable times
who testify
to its endurance
amid the unendurable
who bear witness
to its persistence
when everything seems
in shadow
and grief
Blessed are you
in whom
the light lives,
in whom
the brightness blazes—
Your heart
a chapel,
an altar where
in the deepest night
can be seen
the fire that
shines forth in you
in accountable faith,
in stubborn hope,
in love that illumines
every broken thing
it finds
-Jan Richardson, Circle of Grace

I emailed my pastor a prayer request for the people of Minnesota, for the families of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, for Liam Conejo Ramos and his family, for the clergy arrested yesterday, and this is what she sent.

On the last page of “The Anatomy of Fascism,” Paxton offers a warning. “We know from tracing its path that fascism does not require a spectacular ‘march’ on some capital to take root,” he writes. “Seemingly anodyne decisions to tolerate lawless treatment of national ‘enemies’ is enough.”

We went from a country that defended others from being invaded for their natural resources, to a country that is now threatening to invade others for their natural resources. Systems of governance are only as good as the people you elect to uphold them.

Apropos of nothing, I’m driving a Jeep the rental company gave me while my car is in the shop and I witnessed a phenomenon and consulted my personal White Person (darling husband) to learn more

Text from me to my husband: “Ok so random white people also driving jeeps are waving hello to me, is this some kind of white people cult you haven’t told me about”

Reply text from husband: “Yes and they’ll give you rubber ducks”

Jordy Meiselas: ICE didn't just lower the age requirement—they removed the age requirement. Now, at any age—you can go and join. They've riled up their base and have given them one lane to occupy: take out your anger, become an ICE agent, and chase down migrants. They are preying on people's hate.

To me, this is the most remarkable thing about global health: With a relatively small amount of money, you can do a great deal of good for a great many people. This is money well spent, and we should go back to spending it—now.
