Every year on Easter Sunday, I include at least an excerpt from St. John Chrysostom’s Easter Homily in my sermon. Yesterday was no different. May the hells that exist on earth today be in uproar as they are mocked, destroyed, and annihilated, in the name of the risen Christ.

Disgraceful. Giving a thumbs up at CECOT is like waving and smiling in front of a concentration camp. No wait. It’s not like it. It IS it. You should be ashamed of yourself, Congressman. One day, you too will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. It’s not too late for you to turn and repent.

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

This is abhorrent. An outrage. A gross denial of due process. A violation of human rights. A disgusting display of power just for the sake of it. Really, there are no words to describe the absolute depravity of Trump and Bukele here.

Moral Monday, April 7 at the WV State Capitol. We lift up the voices of those in the southern coal fields in the catastrophic flooding aftermath while active suppression of their voices is coming from the Governor's office. West Virginians will not be silenced or gaslit.

THIS IS INSANE. Passing this bill would be something akin to passing a bill to criminalize those that hid Anne Frank and her family.
Under HB 2894, if you give a ride to an undocumented person, you are committing human smuggling.
The bill also excludes undocumented victims of actual human trafficking from receiving restitution.
Tell the Senate Judiciary to vote NO.

Last night we gave the 3 year olds baths over at their grandparents. As we had just gotten into the car to go home, one of them says, “Mommy, smell me!” I then, without even thinking about it, told her “go home, smell you later.”

This is not ok, and these detentions are becoming more and more prevalent. No wait, let’s call it what it is - the act of disappearing individuals who have been deemed critics and dissenters. A violation of the first amendment, and also a human rights violation.
