I am offended by Trump.
But I’m even more offended by the Christians who support him.
He just called an entire group of people garbage. And that is an insult to God.
Every person from Somalia is a precious child of God, made in the image of God.
Rebuke it - in the name of Jesus.

Sigh.
The Unified Government could vote this week on an ordinance that would make it illegal for people to sleep outside on public and private property. But without a single overnight shelter in Wyandotte County, community groups say conditions will only worsen for unhoused residents.

It’s amazing how much you realize you love your country when people are actively destroying it. Reminds me of being a sibling. I can pick on my brother; I’ll be damned if anybody else does.

This is important in the most horrific sense. I have two sweet babies and the idea of being forcibly separated from them makes me physically ill.
A father screams for his child from a tiny interview room within a basement waiting room inside LA federal building. The space is not a holding area. No food. No water. No diapers. Those initially detained include a 2-year-old US citizen and a woman with high-risk pregnancy.
