Faithful Blue voter, supports Zelensky & Ukraine. Plays some fiddle, dabbles in watercolor, enjoys the fragrance of narcissus in springtime. I respect our POC, indigenous peoples, all my relations and build supportive communities. I am NOT a bank.
A buddhist perspective from the hands of a former nun in the monastery of Thich Nhat Hanh, whom I respect deeply.

Just generally it is extremely fucked up that the news leads with statements by the perpetrators.
It’s like reporting on 9/11 by leading with Al Qaeda’s take.

I will just keep repeating. I have never never never seen anything like this. 30 years of reporting.
Have a larger story on this coming, but I’ve been embedded with this group, and this story from yesterday is part of what they’ve been doing in the city: religionnews.com/2026/01/22/h...

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?

Minnesota physicians, nurses speak out against ICE's intrusion into their private spaces. Worth a listen. Respect to these health care professionals who are putting quality of health care over ICE's targeting of people of color and immigrants in their hospitals.

GoFundMe is allowing people to raise money for the legal defense of Renee Good's killer. Fundraisers for people accused of committing violent crimes are banned according to company policy. So why is this happening? GoFundMe needs to take them down. app.sosha.ai/s/skNM57ro

Stunningly beautiful tribute.
From Caitlin Cook, "Renee," about the killing of Renee Good by ICE.
"Wrong place, wrong time, wrong country.
Feeding us lies, screaming 'trust me.'
Give us justice,
We're hungry,
for something we all believe."

At a church in Minneapolis that is hosting an anti-ICE singing vigil, which will later process through the neighborhood.
They sing: “This is for our neighbors who are locked inside, together we will abolish ICE.”

Here's another great perspective
I read the article. Trump made an excuse for his behavior yesterday. My educated guess is he has PTSD from a prior incident. IMHO Ross probably shouldn't be working for ICE at all. IMO he overreacted & killed her bc he was triggered.
his name is Jonathan Ross and he shouldn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of his life www.startribune.com/ice-agent-wh...

Jonathan Ross was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to court records.
