Micah 6:8 - do justice, love kindness, walk humbly.

I’ve got a wild idea here…

What if, now stay with me…

What if Christians were to check the wisdom of the scriptures for how to treat immigrants?
““ ‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
‭‭
Leviticus‬ ‭19‬:‭33‬-‭34‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I’m not sure this is that big of a deal.

This is why analysts look at cash flow metrics. Cash flow is cash flow.
BURRY won’t let up — now arguing that Oracle and Meta are overstating earnings by understating depreciation:

“.. By 2028, $ORCL will overstate earnings 26.9%, $META by 20.8%, etc.”

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Trump has staffed his government with straight up segregationists who are almost literally spitting on the graves of people who gave their lives for this country.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.
I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

Good Lord.

One more torture story, of countless accounts of horrific abuse at detention camps.

A lot of people need to go to jail for this.

We can’t be a proper society with actions like this going unpunished.
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

BIG. Judge Ellis' expanded preliminary injunction in Chicago aims to more aggressively limit DHS's use of riot munitions.
Ellis is reading the terms into the record. It seems to track her temporary restraining order, barring various uses of force "unless such force is objectively necessary to stop an immediate threat."
