What does Evil look like…

In the future, Americans won’t reference Hitler & his Nazis as the example of ultimate evil. They will point to the Trump Totalitarian Dictatorship, the Republican Party, and I.C.E. as evil incarnate.

We know this is Truth because we’ve seen the videos with our own eyes.

We know this is Truth because we’ve heard it spoken in the Oval Pit of the Black House with our own ears.

We know this is Truth because we’ve watched the Republicans cheer Trump on, abdicate their responsibility to keep him in check, and pass his Big Beautiful Bill that rapes the American public.

And we watched them delay the Epstein files until the Federal Bureau of Incompetence redacted Trump and the Republicans from the files.

Then they jumped on board to release them.

So, what does good look like?

Good looks like a 37-year-old poet from Colorado Springs who described herself as a “writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer,” who won the prestigious Academy of American Poets Prize in 2020 for a poem that dared to ask if science, faith, and wonder could coexist. That’s what an open mind looks like…

Good looks like a woman who moved to Minneapolis with her wife Becca and three children, ready to experience a new city with the same open heart that led her to extend a two-week mission trip to Northern Ireland into eight weeks because she couldn’t stop connecting with families and youth. That’s what empathy looks like…

Good looks like someone her creative writing professor remembered for “a desire to shed light on the experiences of others,” who lifted people up during COVID lockdowns when everyone else was falling apart. That’s what strength looks like…

Good looks like a woman who “literally sparkled,” according to her grieving wife—not metaphorically, but actually radiated light when she walked into a room. That’s what real Christians look like…

Good looks like a devoted Christian who believed all faiths teach us the same truth: to love each other, care for each other. That’s what an open heart looks like…

Good looks like a mother hosting podcasts, making art, sharing her love of books, and raising a 6-year-old boy who is now an orphan. That’s what a mother looks like…

That’s what Good looked like—before an ICE goon’s bullets erased her from a Minneapolis street three blocks from her home. That’s what evil looks like…

Or in the words of the butcher who murdered this embodiment of Christ’s teachings: “Fucking bitch.”
