For hundreds if not thousands of years, there has been a great deal of terror, and only a little justice. A great deal of idolatry, and only a little religion. It shall not always be so.

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Answer: 75% of all American farm workers are Latin American migrants. Yes, the same folks that the party red states support want to deport.
And no, they’re not doing it “to be nice.”

California alone produces a third of all the food America eats. So this is a lie.
But let’s break down the food produced by the red states:
Guess what percent is harvested by people from Latin America?

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The quality of men who fill out the ranks of ICE and CBP are of precisely the same character as those who filled out the ranks of the Schutzstaffel

I wouldn’t say it’s surprising that authoritarian movements keep having purges—Stalin, Hitler, Hussein, it comes with the territory
The surprising thing is that the people who get purged are continually shocked that they are getting purged after saying and being told that “we are gonna do purges”

MAGA Catholics bringing the 'shut up and dribble' argument but for religion is hilarious
As Pope Leo begins to reveal some of his views on divisive issues, some conservative critics of his predecessor are rejecting the possible rise of another “liberal pope.”
As Pope Leo riles conservatives, some say ‘just focus on the church’
Conservatives who hoped that Leo, the first U.S.-born pope, would be more of a traditionalist instead hear echoes of his predecessor, Francis, in his public statements.
