Enough! This is exactly why ICE should be required to identify themselves.
If ICE looks like criminals and thugs, they should be regarded as such.
🚨 Yesterday, an L.A. man was arrested for impersonating a federal agent. Loaded gun, fake documents, cop gear and even blinking & blue on his car

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
This is the most dangerous move yet

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.
I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.
Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

How does the dismissal of charges against Mayor Adams not constitute a violation of the Mail Fraud statute — a deprivation of NYers’ intangible right to honest services? Adams has apparently agreed to use his mayoral powers to secure a private benefit to himself. So DOJ is offering him a bribe, no?

It is surreal to watch my nation’s government crumbling but what is worse is watching Christians I know, who know better, cheer it on. Christian Nationalism is evil. Period.

There may be a bunch of people willing to tell the emperor he’s fully dressed, but the rest of us can speak the truth and refuse to play this game. Wherever we go, whatever we do, we can speak truth in our corner of the world. Don’t let the liars win. Stand on what is true.

Galatians 5 - If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh.

Nothing is more dystopian than everyone acting like everything is normal while we know the country is burning down. But we are not allowed to talk about it.

I work in Healthcare. On a zoom call today a clinician shared her concern because they are no longer able to access critical information that used to be available. The CDC matters. The body of work that doctors had compiled makes all communities stronger.

This is a good reminder for when we have to rebuild
What folks are getting a tough lesson in right now: Institutions are people. They are not abstract forces that exist as firewalls or safeguards. They are just people who play a role and who perhaps have abided by norms, but whose decisions minute to minute shape the role those institutions play.

In the book of revelation there is a church that speaks with swelling pride.
Church - I am rich and in need of nothing.
God’s view - you are poor, miserable, blind and naked.
Maybe just maybe the American church might want to take a more lowly posture.

Prior to Hitler seizing power, most German industrialists were establishment conservatives who found Hitler and his supporters to be garish, boorish, uniformed clowns from impoverished areas. They only fell in line after he seized power, promised them riches and delivered.
