A reminder, now is a good time to go through your follower list and see who's following you.

I found some cool people to follow back, and some bots/yucky people to block.

Keep you blue skies blue.

What a photograph.

“Nearly two dozen arrested as faith leaders protested outside a federal immigration facility near Chicago…”

Arrested large amounts of peaceful clergy face first on pavement is a pretty good sign you’re not the good guys in the story. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

I have never seen anything like THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR (Netflix) before. It’s a documentary about a racist woman who shoots her neighboor, all told through police body cam footage. It won best directing (US doc) at Sundance and it’s clear why. I highly recommend it!

Violence in a church is a wound to the faithful everywhere. No one should be afraid inside of a place of worship, a school, anywhere. It doesn’t have to be this way in the United States.
After searching through the wreckage, officials confirmed four people were killed in a shooting and massive fire at a Latter-day Saint church in Michigan.
