Meditations in an Emergency

Thoughts on an Uncivil War

An Army Called ICE Is Already Waging a Domestic War (This is a series of short essay-reports, beginning with the worst – ICE and attacks on immigrants and ending with the best – what we can do and a brief homage to Jane Goodall.) A lot of us have assumed that somehow

Jane Goodall, dressed in a green longsleeved shirt and green pants, sits in a boat. Behinder is the surface of a lake, and in the distance on the horizon, some low hills.

"Somehow we must keep hope alive -- a hope that we can find a way to educate all, alleviate poverty, assuage anger, and live in harmony with the environment, with animals, and with each other." -- Jane Goodall, 1934-2025

I'm glad to start seeing this discussion. I've been thinking for a while that we need a documented, point-for-point response to Project 2025. 🧵

"Human rights are for everyone.

No, dignity is not conditional.

No, your worth is not decided by your gender, race, income, ability, identity, age, or beliefs.

No, justice should not be reserved for the privileged few.

No one is “less than.”

You are human. That alone is enough to deserve safety, respect, equality, and freedom.

Every person. Every place. Every time."

The government has a role to play in:
Protecting the individual from big business,
from poverty,
& from the things that will stop an individual from being able to make the best of her or his life.

The people have a right to consent to their government, & to have a say in it.

To do:
Protect the right to vote.
Get rid of gerrymandering.
Protect the right to petition your government.
