Start interrogating the news you read, the stories you hear, and more. Start to really look for the power. Where is the power located? Who is wielding it? Is it the power of love or hate?
I am finding it important to ask questions about power in the news stories I read. For example, why is America so quick to aid Israel militarily, yet slow to respond to the basic survival needs of Palestinians? In our own country we see Christian Nationalism thriving, seen clearly in this election cycle, yet many American Christians feel as if they are losing power. Looking forward to our call tonight ...
Out of the context in which you are writing, and in the context of what I was writing about this morning, the control of power of the medical establishment, to make one feel powerless is so real. We were so privileged to get the care we needed even if the system is profoundly harsh, but I think of those who can't get care because of their socioeconomic situation, which is caused by colonization and a massive system of inequity.
Yes. The fact that health is privileged—when we all deserve it—is such a heartbreak for me. And yet two things can be true: I’m grateful Ben received the care he needed AND I hope for a world in which everyone receives it. 💛

Amen. To use some of your language paraphrased: Empire is at it again.
