The Ice Beneath the War
Two Fronts. One Fire.
From Ukraine’s burning cities to America’s ICE bonuses — tracing the breath of empire and asking: what does love demand of us now?
Drop your sword.
Pick up your breath.
This is a dispatch from the other war.
America just approved $10,000 annual bonuses for ICE agents —
a paycheck for upholding the machinery of borders and brokenness.
Meanwhile, in Ukraine, children are being incinerated mid-sentence.
Same system.
Same silence.
Same engine of apathy hiding behind flags and paychecks.
This dispatch isn’t just about rage.
It’s about alignment.
It’s about you.
Your gold.
Your silence.
Your next act.
🇺🇦 Ukraine is still under fire.
Today, Russia rained missiles across Kharkiv and Dnipro.
Civilians died in malls and markets.
Children’s toys were found charred in parks.
This is not war news.
This is the slow extermination of a people while the world scrolls.
Frontline aid you can trust:
You can send more than money:
Write letters to Ukrainian soldiers.
Host families.
Spread frontline truth.
Or simply give a damn every morning.
🇺🇸 Meanwhile in America…
ICE agents are now receiving $10,000 bonuses, with whispers of $35k–$45k signing incentives.
To enforce borders.
To tear apart families.
To handcuff fathers in front of their children.
And we wonder why the tents are multiplying.
Why the silence grows louder.
Why the fire is rising beneath our feet.
This system isn’t broken — it’s working exactly as designed.
Fueled by fear.
Funded by our silence.
But what if you’re inside ICE?
What if you needed the money?
What if you thought you were protecting your country?
Then love looks like exit strategies.
Love looks like dissent.
Love looks like choosing a new allegiance — not to empire, but to the breath.
🔥 If your heart is pounding, don’t waste it.
You were never meant to be neutral.
Neutrality is death by comfort.
This is your alarm clock.
Give your money.
Give your voice.
Give your breath.
And if you have none left — come take some here.

Every dollar is a brick in the road home.
Every act is a seed against the ice.
The kingdom is near — even here.
