This graphic is part of a series created to remind our neighbors, chosen or biological family, friends, colleagues, coconspirators, and loved ones that we are choosing them everyday. This graphic is a reminder of what we are practicing, working toward, and figuring out together. We Imagine & Build a Better world Together is about practicing the worlds we need for ourselves and each other, today. We practice through the imperfections and figure it out together through a lens that centers love, equity, and collective power sharing through regenerative systems that care for people, the land, and the living things that make our existence possible.

A Palestinian hostage has died today in Israeli concentration camp. His name is Mohammad Ahmad al-Halabi. Israel had held him hostage since 1991. (Note: in December 2023, Israel murder his son Ahmad. A month before that, Israel killed his sister, her husband, and their entire family.)

As of this afternoon, ICE has purchased 11 warehouses for conversion into detention camps. 11 sales have been canceled. ICE has spent $1.04 billion on warehouse acquisitions. It will cost the government an estimated $7.57 billion to operate all 11 warehouses per year.
Interactive map titled "ICE Facilities of Interest" showing bubble indicators across the United States. Bubbles are sized by number of beds (500 to 15,000) and color-coded by status: Green (Sale Canceled), Yellow (Prospective Site), Red (Bought by ICE), and Orange (Conversion in Progress). Concentrations of large red and orange bubbles appear in Utah, Texas, and along the Northeast corridor, while yellow prospective sites are clustered in the South and Midwest.

Textured grey background. Text reads: DHS Violence Endangers the Autistic Community. Full Statement on Website. The ASAN logo is at the bottom. Textured grey background. There's a blue box wtih text that reads: Government agents from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have hurt many people in the last few months. They have killed people too. Government agents from ICE or CBP killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis in January. Sometimes ICE puts disabled people in detention centers. They often don’t let disabled people get medical care they need while they are in detention centers and disabled people have died there, including Nhon Ngoc Nguyen, Johnny Noviello, and Shiraz Fatehali Sachwani. When ICE and CBP hurt so many people, this puts our autistic and disabled communities in danger.
Congress needs to stop ICE and CBP from protecting their agents who threaten and kill people. Congress needs to stop ICE and CBP from terrorizing communities. 
This has to end.

1. My newest Anti-Trans Legal Risk Map is here. For trans adults, Kansas is the newest "Do Not Travel" warning, only the 3rd state to achieve that warning. For youth, a change to the map increases risk to Medium in many states. Nationwide risk remains extreme. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming are dark red for "Worst Laws Passed." Georgia, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Montana, and South Carolina are orange for "High Risk Within 2 Years."

STATEMENT FROM MATT MOBERG, CHAPLAIN OF THE
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

IF YOU'RE A CHURCH POSTING
PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY
WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET.
MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS
YOU ONLY WEAR
WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.

DON'T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS.

DON'T CALL SILENCE "PEACEMAKING."

DON'T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP.

TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME NEXT TO MY CAR,
LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME,
"WE'LL BE SEEING YOU SOON."

NOT METAPHOR.
NOT HYPERBOLE.
A THREAT DRESSED UP IN A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK.

PEACE ISN'T WHAT YOU ASK FOR WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY ON SOMEONE'S NECK.
PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED.

UNITY ISN'T NEUTRAL.
UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE
IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE WEAPONS.

STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM.
STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR "WISDOM."
STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND PERSONAL GROWTH.

YOU DON'T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE
LIKE A LULLABY,
WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE.

YOU DON'T GET TO ASK GOD TO
"HEAL THE LAND"
IF YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND.

THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE THAT ONLY EXISTS
BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH.

THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON'T GROW ANYTHING WORTH SAVING.

THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN'T WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM.
THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT.
AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT.

IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE-GOOD.

GROWTH ALWAYS IS.

Trump administration claims of a violent insurrection are simply not true. Ordinary citizens are trying to legally observe, record, and minimize damage from the assault on our communities. They are trying to prevent our federal government from illegally abducting people based on the color of their skin. They are trying to prevent something akin to the rounding up of Jewish (in Europe) and Japanese (in the U.S.) people in the lead up to and during World War II. They are trying to prevent the atrocities of history from repeating themselves in our city and our state in 2026.
