Bible Gateway passage: Joshua 6 - New International Version
Now the gates of Jericho were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. Then the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with it...

But it was clear to me back then, that a lot of white and black folks were okay with Black journalists being lied on and disrespected by Trump… if it was good for ratings.

This is a problem at public schools as well.
It’s amazing how quickly it’s become perceived as ordinary (vs luxury/optional). A summer camp (ages 12-18) I know, says the kids doordash nonstop. Camp’s food is good/fresh cooked+snacks (I’ve eaten there) but apparently there’s now endless daily orders for Starbucks, McDs, Taco Bell, candy etc.

Yeah we’re not ready for the amount of heinous shit that’s gonna come out of these concentration camps
Ernesto Padron, a Border Patrol Agent from Brownsville, TX, was arrested in 2010 for possession of CSAM. A case backlog meant the statute of limitations expired before he could be tried. In 2020 Padron was hired at a Texas migrant shelter where he worked directly with unaccompanied migrant children
