Pretend I posted this two weeks ago when it would have been funny and no I’m not going to look up if someone else already made this joke:

Pre-k principal going where ivy league college presidents, billionaire law firms and megachurch pastors fear to tread.
marisakabas.bsky.social Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · Apr 5
Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE.

Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:
< Jaime Montana Cook is at Sackets Harbor Central School. 5h • Message from the Sackets Harbor Principal As the principal of these students, I need to speak plainly. Our three students who were taken by ICE were doing everything right. They had declared themselves to immigration judges, attended court on their assigned dates, and were following the legal process. They are not criminals. They have no ties to any criminal activity. They are loved in their classrooms. Their family has worked at the nearby "Old McDonald's" petting zoo and dairy farm for 15 years. They lived in a house on the same road as a home ICE had a warrant for. The fact that ICE went door to door is unfathomable. The fact that our students were handcuffed and put into the same van as the alleged criminal from down the street is unconscionable. When I think of my third grader's experience, my stomach twists and it is hard to breathe. We are in shock-and it is that shared shock that has unified our community in the call for our students' release. We are in direct communication with our students. Let me be clear: they are not "being medically evaluated." They are not being "questioned as potential victims." Calling a detention center by another name does not change what it is. We deserve better than spin and misinformation. My teachers and my students are already hurting. Please, think about how long every hour feels for a third grader in a detention center. The wait had already been too long a week ago. I have no other agenda. Please release my students and their mother back to our community. Jaime Cook Prek-12 Principal Sackets Harbor, NY

If you deeply care about whether or not an immigrant is entering the country in a legal manner, but not whether they are being deported in a legal manner, perhaps the law isn’t what you actually care about.

Just a quick reminder that the president who is supposedly the champion of uncovering fraud in the government has headed a university, a charity, and a business that have all been found to have committed fraud.

What a shallow, shriveled gospel we claim to hold if it doesn't include the things Bishop Mariann Budde said in her sermon. "Because God has extended hospitality and mercy to us, that requires us to extend hospitality and mercy to others."

This is unfathomably cruel and evil. I knew things were going to get bad but they keep going even lower than I expected and it's devastating.
