An excerpt of the January 25th email from Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe:
Dear people of God in The Episcopal Church:
Like Jesus, we live in frightening times. His earthly ministry began when John the Baptist was imprisoned by authorities who wanted to silence his preaching and prophesying.

A reminder that ICE hasn’t slowed down in Minneapolis at all.

Outside of Minnesota, it might feel like everything has changed since Alex Pretti’s murder. But ICE hasn’t actually lost any power and they’re continuing to terrorize our communities.

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.

“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."

Is that guy in the MS 13 they keep talking about?
"You raise your voice, I erase your voice."

ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights.

This is not about Bovino or Noem. They need to go.

This is about Stephen Miller - he has been masterminding and leading Trump's immigration regime of terror. Until Miller is gone from the White House, nothing will change.

As long as Miller is there - he will run the show as the de facto POTUS.

they can't win their fights. they can't win their war.

the fascists's only hope is wanton and inchoate violence, bloodying enough noses & performing street executions on the hope people become too scared to show up and take the next hit and it still isn't working.

What people need to understand is that the fascist GOP is an extension of the moneyed class. Its policies of repression are an outgrowth of the way this group preys upon society. This is the reason it feels like every institution is “failing” rn, bc in fact they operate at our collective expense.
Amazon Web Services hosts massive surveillance systems for both ICE and DHS.

Citizens Bank provides nearly $1 trillion in credit & bonds to private prison companies.

AT&T has a $147 million contract to provide communications services to DHS.

Know who is profiting from ICE’s cruelty.

Following the killing of another American citizen, Republicans in Congress would rather shut the government down than put guardrails on the administration’s extreme, reckless, and dangerous mass deportation agenda.

It’s deeply irresponsible.

Everyone on the right talking about invoking the insurrection act is picturing a big button that says FUCK LIBS TRUMP ROCKS, you hit it and then the confetti drops and all the baristas’ hair returns to its natural color.
Curious if anyone has a plausible theory of victory for the administration if it were to invoke the Insurrection Act.

How does the administration "win" in such a scenario?

Best I can tell, it is magical thinking by a certain somebody at the White House, but maybe I'm missing something.

What an insane person.

He’s never had Christian compassion.

I’m not even sure what American evangelicalism is supposed to be anymore. They are bloodthirsty and are actively hardening their hearts.

Repent, evangelicals.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

"The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package"

Why are these people so desperate to fund fascism?
Federal agents cannot murder people in broad daylight and face zero consequences.

I will NOT support the DHS bill as it stands.

The DHS bill needs to be split off from the larger funding package before the Senate—Republicans must work with us to do that.

I’ll keep fighting to rein in DHS and ICE.
