I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
WOW: Massive crowds in New York City right now for the 50501 National Day of Action against the Trump regime.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

A few years ago I was in Israel with my family. We were being led on a private tour by a local pastor along the path that Jesus would have walked after his betrayal and arrest. It was a beautiful and sacred moment. I was listening intently to the pastor as he explained that it was a near certainty that Jesus would have walked the ancient stairs upon which we stood, when I was distracted by my son.

A presidential candidate tried, and failed, to own my dad in the 60's. They offered serious money and power. They weren't playing. Just saying.
I don't underestimate it Hannah, I just don't have a visceral understanding of what it means. I know that the Russians play for keeps by rules that are very different from ours but that's not the same as having the experience.
During the years of the full-scale war, Russian strikes have destroyed or damaged more than 600 religious sites, and 67 Ukrainian clergy members have been killed or tortured by Russian occupiers.
Zelensky proposed extending Putin's 30-hour unilateral truce on Russian military operations in Ukraine to a complete and unconditional 30-day ceasefire.
