This is How We Get There

In the aftermath of the killing of Rene Good by a federal ICE agent, this essay reflects on protest, nonviolence, and the moral stakes of resistance in the Trump era. Drawing on recent demonstrations in Minneapolis and the Midwest, it examines whether violence in language, even when physical violence is rejected, undermines both the strategic effectiveness and the spiritual integrity of movements for justice. Through the lens of radical love, somatic healing, and the teachings of figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., Valarie Kaur, and Loretta Ross, the piece asks what it means to confront authoritarianism without becoming hardened by it.
