Observing, whistling and honking WORKS.

I was in a situation yesterday where folks using those methods to alert neighbors to agents' presence on the street helped keep some elementary school kids safe and away.

HIGH ALERT ‼️ There is a concerning amount of immigration enforcement in South Minneapolis. ICE is kidnapping our neighbors within minutes. We need community to observe and alert your neighbors when immigration enforcement is happening. 1/

Headed to 🧊 protest at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis. The gathering is happening at the other side of this bowl, but people would not be deterred. This is the only 🧊 we want in Minnesota. #ICEOUT #Minneapolis #RIPReneeGood #ItWasMurder

Not an exaggeration at all to say that the feeling in Minneapolis is that the entire metro area is being treated as occupied territory by federal agents. Impossible to overstate how overwhelmingly people here do not like it. This does not feel sustainable.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears:

archive.is/ur35j

First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people
who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.
This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind, In fact, kindness radiated out of her.
Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn't wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine,
Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it Where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.
Like people have done across place and time, we moved to make a better life for ourselves. We chose Minnesota to make our home. Our whole extended road trip here, we held hands in the car while our son drew all over the windows to pass the time and the miles,

What we found when we got here was a vibrant and welcoming community, we made friends and spread joy: And while any place we were together was home, there was a strong shared sense here in Minneapolis that we were looking out for each other. Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor. That has been taken from me forever.
We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness. Renee lived this belief every day. She is pure love. She is pure joy. She is pure sunshine
On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns.
Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.
We thank you for the privacy you are granting our family as we grieve. We thank you for ensuring that Renee's legacy is one of kindness and love. We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.

A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

Ever relevant, this poem by Mary Oliver, especially today.

OF THE EMPIRE

We will be known as a culture that feared death and adored power, that tried to vanquish insecurity for the few and cared little for the penury of the many. We will be known as a culture that taught and rewarded the amassing of things, that spoke little if at all about the quality of life for people (other people), for dogs, for rivers. All the world, in our eyes, they will say, was a commodity. And they will say that this structure was held together politically, which it was, and they will say also that our politics was no more than an apparatus to accommodate the feelings of the heart, and that the heart, in those days, was small, and hard, and full of meanness.

Went for a long walk this afternoon with the temperature around −48°F. I only had my phone with me, since I left my mirrorless camera at work, and the cold can be brutal on shutter and mirror assemblies in DSLRs.

A snow-covered boreal forest at sunset. Tall spruce trees stand widely spaced across a flat, snow-filled landscape. The trees are heavily coated in frost and snow, forming rounded, sculpted shapes. The sky fades from pale gray above to a narrow band of warm orange light near the horizon.

Another view of a frozen spruce forest at sunset. Frost-covered trees rise from deep, wind-sculpted snowdrifts. The low sun casts a thin orange glow along the horizon, while the rest of the sky remains dim and blue-gray. The foreground snow appears smooth with small rounded mounds.

A close-up selfie of a person outdoors in extreme cold. The person is wearing a red insulated jacket, a winter hat, a scarf covering the lower face, and a headlamp on their forehead. Frost and ice cling to their eyebrows, eyelashes, and facial hair. Behind them, snow-covered spruce trees and a warm orange sunset glow are visible.

A wide view of a frozen forest at sunset. Snow-covered spruce trees are scattered across a flat landscape with deep, uneven snow. The sky shows a strong band of orange light near the horizon fading upward into pale blue-gray. The scene appears quiet and still, with no movement visible.
