They tend to cling to a few Old Testament verses, out of context, from the King James (written to support a political agenda) to conduct their mental gymnastics. Jesus, the Gospels, and the New Testament are rarely used.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

And this assumes they're even actual agents. The point is that we don't know.

Rae Eder @raeeder.bsky.social · 4d

Yup. Make them prove they're actually law enforcement.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

This is the very definition of a civil war. Texas is participating in the overthrow of our Constitution amd government, and Illinois is resisting. We're just not naming what's in our face...which is willfully stupid.

Same ones who were responsible for evacuating kids at Camp Mystic.

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "They're trying to condition some of these generals to the idea that they should be using the U.S. military to enforce the political agenda of this president. It's not going to work."

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA.

I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.
