Respectfully, Congresswoman, you voted with Republicans to strip due process from immigrants and to praise Trump's ICE. This year.
Now you're upset?
Votes have consequences. Minnesotans deserve better.

ICE agents followed a Burnsville family home from the store, failed to present a warrant and entered their home with guns drawn. They detained 4 legal citizens who presented documentation, leaving a 7 year-old without parents.
A seven-year-old. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE is out of control.

It is an interesting thing that people tell me, as a pastor, “I’m sorry” when I tell them that I have a funeral to officiate.
Being present for people’s death and grief, both in and outside of liturgical spaces, is honestly a grace and gift I am given in my vocation.

In contrast, dogmatics begins with revelation in God’s free self-disclosure in Christ rather than in an inerrant text or a natural-theology account of divine attributes. The Bible is a genuine creaturely witness that God uses, not a static deposit of propositions available to any neutral observer.

Today is the feast of St Andrew, one of the 12 disciples of Christ. According to his apocryphal legend, he was crucified on an X-shaped cross. As one of the disciples, Andrew was part of the catalogue of saints that missionaries brought to the Norse sphere from the 9th century onwards. (1/n)

NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

I understand when people want a funeral to be hopeful and celebratory. They want to acknowledge the good in a person’s life. I believe a funeral should offer hope. It should express gratitude for the good in a person’s life. I also believe that it should offer space for grief and loss.
