So this is how the active unraveling of our nation begins......Lord, have mercy

First they came for...

Indeed. Two of a kind. Both Musk and Trump refuse to take personal responsibility for any negative event

Looks like the man's yen for revenge and retribution transforms international policy. I will pray (hard) for the people of Ukraine.

Here I am, taking Spanish classes when I need to start learning Russian.

This needs to be on the platform of "Christian" discussion. As I imagine Jesus blessing/loving little children, I wonder how many "Christians" would still surround them with their Mass Deportation signs?

This is the question we need to place on the public forum of "Christian" discussion. As I imagine Jesus blessing/loving little children, I wonder how "Christians" would surround them, waving Mass Deportation signs.

Resorts to be built on the graves of children

Where the world sees death, destruction and ethnic cleansing, Trump sees a real estate opportunity to build more gaudy towers to profit from.

Truly evil.

The President of the United States just expressed his support of the ethnic cleansing of Gaza

And this is the way to address affordable housing, the cost of groceries, and those who are living below the poverty level in the U.S. of A?!

To attack/slander this compassionate Lutheran mission clearly shows that cruelty is masquerading as governance.

It was a call for unity even as Jesus preached in the Sermon on the Mount. True, it is not the current unifying message of retribution and deportation. Rather, "Blessed are the merciful..."

The real looting in California begins when corporate landlords start price gouging on rent, and private equity firms swoop in a start gobbling up fire-damaged properties in working class neighborhoods and reselling them at huge, unaffordable markups.

There's that old saying:
"God created us in his image...
and we decided to return the favor."

Thats how you get this “jesus.”
Jesus was not white.
He did not speak English.
He carried a cross not a gun.
He chose to love his enemies rather than kill them.
That's the real Jesus.
This is an idol.

John D. Rockefeller was asked how much money was enough. He responded, "Just a little bit more,"

This

Common sense with fair and humane immigration reform.

Notice the contrast: The in-keeper sits safely behind the registration desk, determining who is in and who is out, surrounded by those raising Mass Deportation Now signs. Into this the Child is born, named Jesus, which literally means, "The Lord makes room."

Sigh. The depths that this man will sink to avoid accountability.

"Amen" to this truth revealed

Thank you. This rendering deserves our full attention. I have heard too many say, "Let the people see how Trump/Republicans cannot govern and they will defeat themselves." We need to lean into the issues, "connecting the dots," to promote a more excellent way.

Words matter. There is a difference between saying that we need to attend to a broken immigration system vs newcomers/immigrants are "invaders" who "poison the blood of our nation."

Will churches live in fear or will they practice faith? I believe the opposite of faith is not doubt, but fear.

Trump May Allow ICE Arrests in Churches; Here’s What We Know After reports Trump will rescind a policy discouraging ICE raids in churches, faith and immigration experts prepare for uncertain future.

As I told @sojo.net, churches focus on supporting people who need it and nurturing the faith of their community – not checking people's citizenship status. Trump's plan to un-designate churches as sensitive locations is an assault on religious liberty.

Indeed. Will churches succumb to fear or practice faith?

Weaponizing fear.

This is the day of Our Lady of Guadalupe. She extends the hand of mercy, comfort and protection. Especially on this day I pray for all who live in fear of the punitive policies of detention, mass deportation and family separation.

Donald Trump is always about the bottom line. Thank you for framing this process as "bribe "
