Thank you Marianne! Together we can make a difference! One of my dear friends in Missouri informed me of a friend who was taken by ICE… her 3 children abandoned, weeks later… the community came together and fought for her freedom! The NY Times did a front page story… and now she is home!!! Let’s stand together for freedom, justice, peace and always love! Sending love and light to all!❤️🕯️☮️🕉️🙏❤️

The monastery drums are sounding too. When an empire calls its own citizens an insurrection for daring to protest cages and cruelty, it is already rotting from within. I will not pray for the softening of tyrants, but for the sharpening of our clarity, the courage to stand unshaken, and the protection of those who refuse to bow to fear.

Thank you so very much for your kind and timely offering. There is a great deal of tension in the air here in LA because you never know when ICE will show up, nor where they will appear. Far too easy to get caught unwittingly in the impending crossfire. I love you so very much, Marianne, and I am so grateful for your thoughts and words throughout this ordeal. You are an important and powerful voice of loving reason amidst nazistic chaos that is predominant and growing in our country. It sickens me, and I derive great comfort and direction from your guidance always, but so especially now. Thank you.

Thank you and I am going to do my best to honor that commitment. I also look forward to the introduction you offered to help make that happen. You were right. The time is now and we all have a part to play. Thank you for being so supportive in helping me find mine and enact it

There would be no chaos if millions of people weren't breaking our laws en masse. The problem is not Trump. The problem is extranational NGOs and other organizations engaged in mass human trafficking across our southern border, against the express wishes of the majority of Americans and at our expense. It MUST stop.

With all due respect Trump is still the problem because he has

s set up a precedent of being above the law or the law not applying to him. He has set a bad terribly bad example of lawlessness himself people are just modeling after that stance that he has adopted. So while I agree with you to some extent Trump is still very much a problem. He is the worst example of humanity we've seen in a long time.

Trump is not the problem. There would be no Trump were it not for mass immigration. Mass immigration is the problem that created Trump. Can you understand this? The cause is immigration, the effect is Trump.

Mass uncontrolled immigration MUST end. If it does not, things are going to get far worse than a Trump presidency. Conditions in the US will continue getting as bad as is necessary to stop mass immigration. Right now, what Trump is doing is softball compared to what's waiting in the wings should he fail.

My heart goes out to you in America at this painful time. All my sisterly thoughts fly from Lake Geneva to Los Angeles to support peace, justice, the rule of law, and all those who are courageously fighting for them at this time. May they be protected. May they be victorious over nonsense and hatred.🙏✨💖🍀🕊🌎

I’m praying for Los Angeles, yet I was heartened to see the citizens rising up to defend their neighbors, non violently

Standing with you, Marianne, as the presence of the alternative. Sending love and light to LA and to our divided nation. "The holiest of all the spots on Earth is where an ancient hatred has become a present love. " (ACIM T-26.IX) May the powers of love prevail.

I just wrote this breakdown on the LA military deployment and how it follows the authoritarian playbook. It includes concrete steps we can take now.
