Hey so deporting citizens is already illegal and making this our bargaining chip is both bottomlessly amoral and strategically insane. Hope that helps.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Remember, Mr. Rogers' original comment was intended for CHILDREN. Children need comfort, and their power is obviously very limited.

We're adults. We do need comfort, but we also need to take action. And what you'll find is the more you do, the better you'll feel. Look for the helpers and join them.

AMATEUR HOUR: ON CHURCH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD β€” Earth and Altar Amateur Hour: On church for the love of God I recently watched Carson Lund’s 2025 film Eephus . (1) It’s a beautiful and sad movie. Its beauty comes from its deep love for baseball. In its slow pac...

β€œThey also will answer, β€˜Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

The only thing I know to say right now is that what we are witnessing is literally evil, like these are the types of horrors the Bible is talking about when it talks about evil

Abolish ICE.
Do justly.
Love mercy.
Walk humbly.

For justice is love out loud.

A Church Wants a Homeless Shelter. The Mayor Wants Space for Pickleball.

So grateful for Bishop Sally French, the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey, and Christ Episcopal Church in Toms River, NJ, for their efforts to try to offer compassion and care in their community. I’m praying they are able to offer this shelter for our neighbors. βš“οΈ

Miss Rachel is telling people it shouldn’t be controversial to want to stop the murder of tens of thousands of children

You’re doing this exact thing she’s talking about with this fucking headline.

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him
