Rev. Empsall concluded, "I don’t believe the 10 reforms she [Rosa DeLauro/D-CT] have proposed will be enough to quell my congregates terror and bring these families back for the food they need. ICE must be abolished and replaced, not just reformed." Gift Article. www.nhregister.com/opinion/arti...
Opinion: A priest has a message about ICE for MAGA and Democrats
The Rev. Nathan Empsall of New Haven loves Colin McEnroe's radio show, but takes issue with his column about Rosa DeLauro discussing ICE with clergy.

tRump tripped over his own ignorance, blaming Gov. Wes Moore (MD) for something Moore has no control over. It’s tRump’s own EPA that has regulatory authority over the DC Water-owned pipe that burst & spilled millions of gallons of sewage into the Potomac River last month. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
Trump’s latest offensive against Maryland’s Wes Moore comes with a clear subtext
The more the president fixates on the Democratic governor, the more it seems he’s scared of Moore’s political potential.

As we honor U.S. Presidents today, we want to share this video to remind us all that the office of the presidency of the United States of America is bigger than any one person, and that civility and respect for each other are traditional in our history.

🧪February is #BlackHistoryMonth. We honor the black doctors & scientists who have impacted human health.
Some used stats to fight racist medical myths, documented how racism impacted health decades before the term health disparities was coined. Representation has mattered and will always matter.

At this point, the whining is falling on deaf ears. If we are not strategically speaking about midterms, getting people registered to vote and safely to the polls - it’s noise.
