A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

In Ps. 18:27 today: 'For you deliver a humble people.' Those brought low by suffering know their need of deliverance. We are suffering chaos. Division. Recrimination. Lost rights. Sickness. We are God's candles. Deliverance comes light by light. Deliver is my work today.

In August once, I dozed on an unused bridge
to hang in the very world, in the teeming air.
Great world, your lives are such that we despair,
seeing the loveliness, to live our lives.

In Ps. 19:3b today: 'unspoken truth is spoken everywhere (MSG).' There is an unsaid testimony that proclaims the handiwork of God. A yellow leaf whispers, 'let go'. Suspect the performance art of anxiety. Reject misinformation. Be still and know God. Truth is my work today.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

In Ps.20:7 today: 'Some people trust in chariots, others in horses but we praise the Lord's name.' Compensating men need a masculine show to feel strong. The Spirit's strength does not fear. Our trust is in the one who governs the night & calms the storm. Trust is my work today.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Bondi claims that the ICEBlock app was "criminal in that people were posting where ICE officers lived"

In Ps. 21:4 today: 'He asked you for life; you gave it to him.' God is love. Love is life giving. Generous. Full of grace. Even in our autumns newness is at work. Love does not lie, divide, and harm. Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Love-of- neighbor-life is my work today.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.
