“With friends and family in every city under attack, I’ve been alternating between holding my breath, feeling helpless, and wildly cheering the strength and creativity in the protests and shows of solidarity. Then, once AGAIN, you folks are in the news, coping with tragedy and finding the strength to cradle the victims and connect in solidarity to oppose the insanity. People who talk about there being no more heroism haven’t visited Minneapolis lately, for you are without a doubt the heroes of our times. As I honor your heroism, I pray that the destructive, cruel invasion ends now and you’re able to put away your capes and return to living in peaceful communities.”
