🕊 Inequality not only creates poverty (which is a passive form of violence), it pushes punishment over prevention, fear over reason, and consumption over community.

MLK dreamed of a moral economy that measures society by how well the poorest are doing.

“Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” - Matt 25:40

Until we address this chronic issue, we can innovate endlessly and still fail to live together.

This day is feeling incredibly January, if you know what I mean. The snow in GR is absolutely nuts, and even if I made it out to the gym I am feeling the Januaryness. I know getting a workout in will be a pick me up, but damn I’m still feeling it now.

Welp, looks like I’m in for the rest of the evening, which is honestly probably a good thing. The snow and wind here are next level, and finding a parking space here would be a losing battle if I left to go elsewhere.

So I’m hunkering down here and packing up some more, then showering and reading.

Mom and Care came to check in on me, and damn but I had no exhausted by packing up to move until I had to talk about it. It’s like all the fatigue had been packed up as well before getting poured back all over me.

I’m making lots of progress, and I’m feeling good about it over all, but man sometimes even when you’re happy and doing well the stress of it all hits you like a truck.

Welp. Took a 2 hour nap. Guess I needed to rest a bit.

Avelo Airlines cuts ties with ICE, ends deportation flights - al.com

Avelo Airlines, the only commercial carrier believed to have been operating full deportation flights on a regular basis for the Trump administration, is ending its relationship with Immigration and Customs Enforcement and will no longer charter those deportations.

The budget carrier signed an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security in April 2025 to operate ICE flights out of Arizona, drawing immediate protests and calls to boycott.

At the time, the airline acknowledged the decision may be controversial but said it was expected to support company expansion and job protection. However, after less than a year since inking the deal, Avelo has admitted that the program became too costly and complex to continue.

CEO Andrew Levy acknowledged the backlash in an email to employees late Tuesday.

“We moved a portion of our fleet into a government program which promised more financial stability but placed us in the center of a political controversy,” Levy wrote in the email, obtained by CNBC.

“The program provided short-term benefits but ultimately did not deliver enough consistent and predictable revenue to overcome its operational complexity and costs.” (aph)

KEEP PROTESTING AND KEEP MOBILIZING. IT WORKS. IT IS NOT HOPELESS AND IT WORKS.

This country was built on protests and mobilization and solidarity. We need to remember that and honor that and keep going.
