It is not normal to not care about other people. It is not normal to see people suffering & just look away. Especially when those in power try to dehumanize certain groups, we have to resist the notion that anyone elseโ€™s suffering is somehow less important than our own. It will never be true.

Using a book about a poor man of color from the Middle East who fled persecution & was displaced as a refugee to justify turning asylum-seekers away & โ€œmass deportationโ€ shows you that it was never about Jesus. It was always about control, power, & bigotry.

I pray that those justifying mass deportations in the name of God never have to seek refuge. I pray that you never know the pain & struggle of leaving everything youโ€™ve ever known behind in a desperate attempt to save your family. I pray that one day, you find the mercy Jesus instructed us to have.

If you see an asylum-seeker in distress & your first thought isnโ€™t, โ€œhow can I be of assistance to this person, as a fellow human being?โ€, your humanity is severely tainted. We owe each other care, simply by virtue of being human. The day we lose sight of that is the day weโ€™ve lost everything.

Turning people away at the border isnโ€™t Christ-like. Jesus welcomes all, loves all, & commanded us to do the same. This is shameful.

Jesus was an advocate, not a bigot.

The fact that millions of evangelicals were convinced that a serial assaulter, pathological liar, violent racist, & hate-filled narcissist was the โ€œGodlyโ€ choice will always be baffling & heartbreaking.

Thereโ€™s no overstating how dangerous this rhetoric is, especially right now.

Anti-abortion groups really want you to believe that the only appropriate care for a dying pregnant woman is the induction of labor or a c-section. Anything else is โ€˜electiveโ€™ (ie, selfish) care.
