They asked for us to share the story of an Episcopal priest from Kenya, who is here legally, with a work permit, and serving in a Swahili language Episcopal Ministry in a local church.

In other news, I went to a prayer vigil today organized by local Episcopal clergy outside a federal detention center in downtown Houston where ICE has detained some people.

We are tired in Texas. We are sad. We are angry. We need someone with zeal and verve and spark and brains and a great sense of humor to lead the fight. At least I do, if I'm going to try to get up off the mat yet again in 2026. I think Jasmine Crockett is the one to do it.

Okay now I remember that he put Tracee Ellis Ross in pants like this for the Met Gala and I defended it — probably because she is also on The List — I think they work better in the pink satin, FWIW
