It is really sad that the concept of "Hey maybe it isn't cool that people are getting accused of terrorism and thrown into foreign prisons without due process" has become a controversial statement that would worry you about losing subscribers. This is a basic human rights issue and it being so politicized is tragic

Amen brother, this is wonderful work and I can feel your unsettledness in it all as I read. Good!

There is a song written back in 2017, by Kings Kaleidoscope (featuring Propaganda), both artist who I admire greatly, that so helped me unpack the feelings I have when hearing of the injustice (note: I only hear it, listen to it, and experienced something like it is such nuanced rich white guy ways, which is nothing compared to the level in this article, what others in our country have experienced, and not even close to the atrocity at the world level)... here are a few lyrics that hit me today, give it a listen, totally check out the lyrics on the internets... so good...

I agree with you. I'm deeply troubled about the prideful lawlessness of this administration. I wonder if one of the reasons they are doing this so fast is to try to run ahead of the law before they can be stopped. "Oopsie." Arrogant depravity. I feel like there is nothing I can do about this wickedness, and that is their goal. But I do speak up about it. And I bring it before the Lord in lament. How long, O Lord. And I think about what Christians living in other oppressive regimes do and feel. So we must speak and pray. And be prepared to act in such a time as this.
