Dear USA,
We are well aware who the real enemies are, thank you.
It's the country actively carrying out genocide and anyone still supporting them.
Yours,

I’m not asking you if you like law and order and want to get rid of “illegals.” We can talk about that later. I’m talking about law-abiding immigrants being arrested, for the crime of obeying the law. Do you like that? If so, why?

Musk threatens to fire federal workers who don't respond to an email. Makes no legal sense. Like Trump, he seems to be doing it for shock and awe. Even if it makes no sense. How could the government even read and respond to all these?

The number of people who could be shielded in sanctuary churches is vanishingly small, so this decision cannot be about the numbers. It’s about the spiritual power of sanctuary as a practice. That power comes from both theological sources and sociological ones
“Despite its long history, sanctuary enjoys few legal protections. There is no law that says religious spaces are in any way different from your local Starbucks. However, the federal government has long been loath to interfere in such spaces due to the First Amendment.”
