Call your Senators!!

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

This. A handful of Americans have the power to stop this NOW, and they are refusing to.

ICE obstructed congressional oversight of detention facilities. Some said Congress had no way to stop them. Not me. Instead, I sued ICE — and the Federal court in my lawsuit (Neguse et. al v. ICE) just recently ruled in our favor. We must keep pushing for accountability and the rule of law.

Stop the war on children.

@purevandanasastri.bsky.social reposted our post, as seen below, and disabled comments. As I felt this warranted a reply, I shared it in our feed. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on any given topic, but hiding from responses seems more like you’re just passing judgement. Feel free to reply.

Is Mohsen Mahdawi really an upaśaka? Or just a cultural Muslim wrapped in the trappings of "secular" Buddhism? I have not seen any articles or videos of him taking refuge, performing pūja, reciting dharanīs/mantras, explicitly stating belief in rddis, devas, asuras, pretas, etc.

What does it mean to resist with wisdom? In a time of political turmoil, when outrage fuels division and fear dictates discourse, how can we hold onto our principles? For Buddhists and mindful activists, the answer lies in ethical resistance… elejrnl.com?p=4126831
