Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.
Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.

An entire political movement founded on uncovering hidden messages in documents to discover the powerful secret pedophiles and meanwhile the powerful pedophiles out here sending gmails saying "Hi fellow pedophile when are we meeting to do pedophilia again"
Disgusting.
In an email on Sept. 11, 2013, Mr. Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, wrote to Mr. Epstein, “It was really nice seeing you yesterday.” He added: “Any time you’re in the area would love to see you. As long as you bring your harem!”

I went to Minneapolis to see what it means when ICE occupies a city. And I left with one unmistakable realization: ICE is not broken. It is working exactly as President Donald Trump wants it to.
It cannot be reformed or retrained. It must be abolished.

I understand that all of us have to live our lives and therefore simply cannot think deeply about the fact that the current fascist President of the United States is deeply unwell.
I do think, however, that it is the JOB of CONGRESS and the CABINET to protect the country FROM HIM. NOW.

Pretty confident the video of "feds" gassing people outside of a MSP "preschool" "this morning" is not from today and is probably from Saturday.
1. If you only see it from aggregators/randos/"dem strategists," pause.
2. If the caption says "uncovered footage," it probably didn't just happen.

One of Pope Leo XIV’s top U.S. allies, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, is calling for the defunding of ICE.
Echoing the pope’s moral warnings, Tobin says the “lawless organization” is perpetuating a “machinery of death.”

I looked into Cities Church, which was protested for having an ICE agent as a pastor.
You already thought they were right-wing. But they're far worse than you thought.
They're ground zero for the "empathy is a sin" idea, among others.
