Ford Owner? You Can’t AfFORD to Look Away Right Now

Dear Ford CEO Jim Farley,

My name is Ol’ Blue. I’m a 2003 Ford Explorer.

In case you were wondering about my name…

How are you OK with your President standing right in front of you to say this about some of his fellow humans ? Some of whom might even work for you?

“The Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed our country.”

Or this:

“Most of those people” — meaning the Somali immigrants — “have destroyed Minnesota” and made it a “hellhole.”

Or this, about a woman who moved all the way to America from across the sea, got so much education and respect that she was elected by other Americans to represent them in their Congress:

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar “shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman…and she should be thrown the hell out of our country.”

Omar “should not be — and her friends shouldn’t be allowed — frankly, they shouldn’t even be allowed to be congresspeople, okay? They shouldn’t even be allowed to be congresspeople because they don’t represent the interests of our country.”

(Picture ID’s by “Carlg1000” on BlueSky, as shared by Helen Kennedy on BlueSky)

You should have spoken up, Mr. Jim Farley. Said SOMETHING. You’re not an elected official. You’re a guy who makes cars. But you you just laughed and nodded away.

[Note from Ol’ Blue’s human, Gretchen: Please share this photo as widely as possible. And if you have any connection to any of the other humans shown here cheerfully standing by for the President’s evil, racist rant–if they are your representative!–PLEASE call them on it. Literally.]

[As Joyce Vance says, “We’re all in this together.”]

  1. Wow, Gretchen! You’re certainly witnessing with this letter. Would you mind if I use it in the newsletter to encourage others? I’m thinking about posting some of what AnneMarie read from Faith and Practice for today’s worship sharing. And maybe also a link to FiveCalls so folks can sign up to make some calls every day.

    In fact, if you want to write something like this up, I’ll include it. I know you’re busy with WAGG but that one of your other loves is political activism. You’re certainly a good model for us all.

    (Me, for sure.)

    Love and blessings,

    Lorna
