Clergy friends, your moral voice matters so, so SO much in this moment.
In the public square.
Pushing your electeds.
With congregants.
At actions.
Teaching the truths of your tradition & using the authority of your office.
& calling in all that damn social capital.

“Renee Goodman [sic], Alex Pretti – there are no words,” DeLauro said.
“You said there were no words after the murder of those two individuals,” said Rev. Jack Perkins Davidson. “I think the words are ‘Abolish ICE.’”

But 100 clergy members were arrested protesting ICE yesterday. The vast majority of the people arrested during the general strike were there in the name of their god or gods.

Driving away from Minneapolis today, with a heart both heavy and full. And I'm thinking about how the fascists claim to be fighting in the name of Christianity... They're making this big deal of a protest at a church. They're making these targeted arrests, claiming that anti-ICE is antireligious.

I’m so sick of people throwing their hands up and saying abolishing ICE isn’t possible right now. Abolishing ICE is extremely popular and calls to do so will only continue to grow, meanwhile conservatives manage to do incredibly unpopular things all the time because nobody stops them

We do not get out of fascism by saving ourselves and turning our backs on others. We get out through solidarity with everyone—especially the most vulnerable.

At the DeSantis Everglades detention camp, people with green cards are being held in terrible conditions, with maggots in the food, the lights kept on 24 hours a day, and delayed access to medicine.

I can't begin to tell you just how incredibly fucked trans people are here. This will pour gasoline on the Trump administration's attacks on trans people and they will get even harsher and more cruel. The Supreme Court is greenlighting the eradication of trans people from society.
