Joined @cfcolemanjr.bsky.social to discuss immigration restrictions, many of which were underway before the tragic shooting in DC. What’s new and deeply troubling is the attempt to retroactively tie them to one heinous crime and cast suspicion on entire nationalities – including Afghan allies.

A prayer for Thanksgiving: God of Gathering, We feel you at the kitchen table. Remind us that there will always be space for more guests, even if we must bring out the folding chairs and make space ourselves. Nourish our bodies and hearts with food and community, and let us use this sacred energy to go forth and create a more just, welcoming world. With gratitude, Amen. [Global Refuge logo]

I work with refugees. I've seen the human cost of Trump's policy changes. The U.S. refugee program was never just about who we let in; it mirrors our character as a country. We can welcome more than 7,500 people. So why won't we?

What message are we sending when Afghan allies, Venezuelan dissidents and Rohingya genocide survivors are pushed aside while others leap the line?
