🚨Using any kind of chemical weapons at this range is aggravated assault against peaceful protesters. They have no weapons, they pose no threat. ICE is the enemy. 1/2

I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

This is a great piece of reporting. The vast majority are our neighbors and people who make our community stronger.

A judge’s order means more than 600 people arrested by ICE in the Chicago region and held in custody could be released on various conditions but only if they don’t pose a risk to public safety.
Judge says he’ll order release of hundreds of people arrested under feds’ deportation blitz
The 615 detainees are from a list of roughly 1,800 arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Chicago area between June 11 and Oct. 7, and there could be more to come.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If you’re serious about the national debt then you don’t fire IRS workers who bring in $6-8 of revenue for every $1 of their salary. That’s one of the best returns you can find.

28% of unpaid taxes come from the top 1% households.

The IRS is laying off people during the shutdown, even though it was rehiring staff it previously fired because it was so shorthanded.
This one stands out because firing IRS employees costs the government money, since they bring in about $6-8 for every dollar spent on tax enforcement

We are fortunate to have Sen Warnock in the Senate as a voice of faith in these times.
@warnock.senate.gov: "As a man of faith, here's something that I have noticed about evil... Evil always gets a little bit too impressed with itself. It's filled up with hubris. Evil always goes too far, and because it goes too far, it contains within itself the seed of its own destruction."

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

In the wake of the president’s abuses of power, it won’t be enough for politicians to merely orate about restoring the rule of law. The only way to overcome that skepticism is with action.

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social thank you for being a powerful voice of truth during such difficult times.
If our laws depend on Trump’s voluntary compliance — and Congress won’t lift a finger to defend the laws it has passed — then the president is unleashed. We are left to the whims of a man who cares about only himself, a man who is willing to discard any law or standard to satisfy his lust for power.

Not a surprise and glad the Brennan Center did the research.
Two Brennan Center studies show that racist attitudes are linked to distrust in the 2020 election results and support for the January 6 insurrection.
