And remember, 93% have no record of any violent crimes. This facility, then, is comparable to the internment camps for Japanese Americans during the Second World War. But let's call it what it is: a concentration camp. Jesus wept.

If the presence of a bishop makes you rethink what you're doing, perhaps you need to re-evaluate if you should be doing it at all.
“…masked immigration agents weren’t leaning against the off-white walls, waiting to grab people. They scattered Friday after seeing a clergy delegation led by Bishop-elect Michael Pham…Like the story of Moses and Exodus, the Red Sea parted.” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...
ICE agents scatter as SD Bishop Pham, other clergy visit immigration court
"Our presence made a difference," one priest said, quoting an immigration lawyer saying their client was given more time to prepare for another hearing.

Today is the most dangerous time to be a journalist in CPJ’s history. At least 124 journalists and media workers were killed last year, nearly two-thirds of them Palestinians killed by Israel. 🔗 cpj.org?p=451429

DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS: there have been times when you controlled the House & Senate, yet Republicans still found ways to block your legislation.
DO THAT TO THEM!
And—since the GOP won’t hold hearings, go home to your districts & hold mock hearings yourselves. Let the people see what’s really up!
