He also stacked the court so that he could get broad presidential immunity as well as overturn Roe v. Wade. One might be surprised that, as clergy, I despise the Dobbs decision…I believe all life is sacred, but also in the right of a mother to make choices for herself, her body, and her health.

An informed citizenry is a huge threat to him. Those who just for power don’t like limitations placed on it. They hate especially being told “no”…

You are correct. However, the problem with authoritarians (and narcissists for that matter) is that they don’t believe the rules apply to them. He reminds me of Emperor Nero sometimes. While there are no legal means to stop elections, that may not stop him from trying…

It shouldn’t have come as a surprise to him. We are a democrat stronghold here.

Of course they are. I wouldn’t be surprised if he isn’t just itching to cancel midterms; just needs a catalyst…So far, none of the blue States are giving him what he wants…

I mean, fair is fair. It is interesting how plenty of conservative Christians emphasize Paul’s teachings on obeying authority, yet the moment a judge signs an order to show cause (and/or to appear) suddenly become really defiant…

If they don’t want to leave peacefully and quickly, I would expect nothing less. They have overstayed their welcome here. I know it’s folly to hope that they will leave peacefully on their own, but I’m prepared to support my fellow clergy and neighbors if ICE decides to overstay their welcome there.

My prayers are with you. Been in Iowa a lot when I stayed with family who had moved to southern Minnesota. It was faster to go grocery shopping in Iowa than it was to stay in Minnesota. I can only hope and pray that they leave Iowa quickly, and peacefully.

Thank you so much! I wish they had that contact information listed elsewhere.

Well, and the fact we have voted blue for many years. Plus, Bondi wants our voting rolls. I'm proud that our State officials told them to keep her to keep her paws off what isn't hers.

What is it with them and picking cold climates? As a Minnesotan, know that this State is with the State of Maine in spirit. We believe in you. And, when you guys inevitably run them out (and you will, we have faith in you), don't let them forget what they did in MN. Stay Safe!

Every time I see him, I can't help but think of Colonel Miles from Avatar (he and Bovino could go bowling together...probably would find a lot in common...)

I figured they weren't done with us...If we have learned anything from history, power doesn't give up that easily.
Lord Acton, in a letter, once wrote these immortal words "Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
I can only hope that they wind down operations...

Today wasn't the greatest day, and it came with its trials and unknowns. However, be that as it may, I am satisfied with how today has gone.

Again, I thank all of you. God bless you all, and continue to pray for the State of Minnesota. I have faith that we will be delivered from ICE soon enough, but until that time I will continue to speak out.
lastly, I couldn't be prouder of my Colleagues who have showed up and stood up.

I want to make it clear that I have no tolerance for churches that do harm to their members; this tradition (denomination) was born out of my own experiences and those of the people I initial served when I was ordained; I vowed that my church will not be like many others.

That nobody will be turned away from this Church, its worship, or its membership without just cause.
And my last promise is that I will continue to speak out when people are harmed. If it comes to my attention, I will not hesitate to speak on it.

That I will not back down from the truth, no matter how bad it may hurt
That the Church I lead will continue to serve the broken, the bruised, the vulnerable, and the marginalized so long as I occupy this office.
That I will be a faithful steward of whatever platform you are willing to give me.

It is my hope that, after a very long life, I will have an account to be able to hand off to my successor. The denomination follows the "per vitam" style of leadership, with the caveat that I can be removed from my position.
I cannot promise the world, but I can promise the following:
