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

Over the last ten years or so, I've been holding on by a thread to the Church, in order to not allow anyone to "force" me out of my faith that, during both good and trying times, has provided guidance, strength, and refuge.

I agree! And we cannot stop fighting for the equality that has eluded us these past 2,000+ years. My mom actually put together a bibliography of resources related to women and the Church (from many angles). I've been thinking about trying to find it, I know I have it archived somewhere!
She passed away in 2006 from early-onset Alz, which was devastating, of course. But she left behind a few things that I've often thought could be put to good use one day 🙂.
