MAKE NOISE ON THIS ONE‼️

They didn’t just deport him—they sent him to CECOT in El Salvador.

Agelviz came here legally through the refugee resettlement program—fully vetted. But when he landed in Houston, CBP snatched him over a tattoo: a clock and a rose.

No charges. No record. Just a suspicion.

The only time Jesus condemns us to hell is Matthew 25:31-46 saying The sheep, who are blessed, are those who have shown compassion and helped the poor and afflicted. The goats, who are condemned, are those who have not.
But if you have other examples please share.

It’s the coal, isn’t it? I’m sorry. Easter Bunny is nice—those pellets in my lawn next to eggs not so much.

We’re all blips that’s why we must seize each day so someone takes notice and if not then at least we didn’t waste the day worrying about no one noticing

Humans got a hold of it and twisted it to their own gains
This is what is meant by all sinners—in general, even an atheist would conclude that humankind is not the best

Jesus was trying to do away with the Old Testament and that’s what got him crucified. He wanted the marginalized groups to be recognized by his former church and they turned on him
And now his “followers” do unto others as was did unto him

The Women going to the Sepulchre, 1912, Robert Anning Bell
Painting of women in blue garments walking leftward, one woman, and then five behind her, on a flat plain, hazy sky ....

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

Great to see many protesters out in deep red Sarasota Florida today. It feels like yelling into the void, but was nice to be around so many others yelling anyways
