Yeah, one of the hells of immigration policy is trying to weight the current moment vs an actual systemic change. And I’m not trying to grimdark anyone here, but: ICE and DHS have been “deporting kids under 5, and military vets, and breaking up families and loading up prisons” since the 00s.
the downside of no action now is the human suffering. the upside is time on target for the popular will to really start pushing the caucus.

This is a stupid confession, but I don't know how to be a Christian without also trying to be some sort of theologian.
This is a problem, as I don't have the time and energy to be an actual theologian.

I realize the obvious retort is, "What's the Minority Leader of the US Senate supposed to do? Refuse to meet her or denounce her on social media?"
I get that. I really do.
But.... that's less saying "this is fine" and more saying "the gaping hole in the road was too big to avoid, so we fell in."

Chuck Schumer is a collaborator with the fascist regime. This is a statement without caveats. 👍

This is a commission I did for Brad. He wanted me to convey how the Church is crumbling, and that while some are trying to repair it, others are taking it out into the world. Good theology sees the Church as the Body of Christ... something that should be shared. Brad loves it.
