They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

There's a lot to do, and none of it is your sole responsibility, and not everyone is in a position to do every task. But as Gandalf said of Merry and Pippin -- the falling of small stones can start an avalanche. So look for small opportunities to love your neighbors.

If your heart is broken and your soul is deeply heavy in these days, that means you haven't lost your humanity.
Even though it is painful, holding onto our humanity is what is urgently needed right now.
Don't allow cynicism or the cruelty we are witnessing take that away from you.
Love all the more fiercely.

So many white people are just now realizing that if they were murdered on the street in cold blood by a masked agent of the state, their family members would tell the media, “she just should have complied.”

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I'm old enough to remember when Michelle Obama planted a vegetable garden on White House grounds and Republicans were incensed. I remember someone saying it was a slap in the face to farmers. I'll see their organically grown tomatoes and raise them one demolished East Wing.
