“Arcadia” is one of the few volumes that has come with me through every single move. I first saw it as a teenager, and the way it played with words and science and time and, well, the human experience, etched a permanent mark in my imagination. #stoppard

The most beautiful moments of this #NoKings Episcopal Church protest outside of Grace Cathedral came when the cable car operators were ringing their bells long and loudly in solidarity as they were passing. They know how to ring a bell! ⚓️
Here is our bishop, Austin Rios, leading us in songs of protest and faith, in front of Grace Cathedral, San Francisco for #NoKings day. ⚓️

My diocese (California) is having convention on No Kings Day 10/18 — obviously planned way before anyone would have known, so no criticism intended. I am curious how many other Episcopal dioceses have conventions that day. ⚓️

Side note: lest you think this is a one-off, a sizable group of Catholic nuns, priests and lay leaders have announced plans to do the same thing — offer communion to detainees in the Broadview ICE facility — tomorrow.
NEW: Clergy are at the Broadview, IL ICE facility today — where clergy have been shot w/pepper balls in recent days.

UMC minister Rev. Hannah Kardon, one of those shot w/pepper balls in the past, among those asking to give communion to those detained. Attendees (who sent photos) say police declined

This piece has commentary from the priest and deacon of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, who were witnesses ⚓

(Pray for St. Matthew's; for the man arrested, witnesses, and all people who are targets of violence; for those who do violence to repent and be healed)
NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders.

I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

One more thing about this: If you're wondering why you're not seeing much coverage elsewhere, it's likely partly because I was one of only two credentialed press covering this — the other was a videographer, along with some non-credentialed press.

Relatedly: hire more religion reporters.

Van Hollen (an Episcopalian) discussed the potential leverage he brings to this situation in a separate interview (next skeet): "Congress has to approve funding from the U.S. to El Salvador, and I'm not gonna support one penny if this Marylander continues to be illegally detained there."
Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is flying to El Salvador to push for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia: "I hope to have the chance to actually see Kilmar and see what his condition is."
