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 elseโs 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 & โmass 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 youโve 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 isnโt, โhow 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 weโve lost everything.

Turning people away at the border isnโt 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 โGodlyโ choice will always be baffling & heartbreaking.
