Notice how those who wanted to overthrow the government for being asked to carry proof of their covid vaccination, claiming it’s an infringement on their freedoms, are suddenly all in favor of needing multiple proofs of identity just so they can exercise their constitutional right to vote.

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins.
When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look.
When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

“To love and to be loved are an eternal grace bestowed on us.
A single moment of affection is worth an everlasting lifetime.
Since love is a gentle hand that caresses our souls,
To love is beautiful—and being loved is beautiful as well.” #love
