I believe in hell

I also believe that because God is good, hell will eventually be emptied, and all people will be reconciled to the God who died to redeem them

I also also believe that some will spend an extra long time in hell to make that reconciliation possible
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

They're an occupying military force that has been promised complete immunity

I don't need to see a video to know they're murdering civilians

"Stop forcing us to murder you" doesn't work on people willing to die for the good of their neighbors
Noem: "We pray for the deceased, but we also recognize that the Minnesota and the Minneapolis governor need to take a long hard look in the mirror. They need to evaluate their rhetoric, their conversations, and their encouragement of such violence against our citizens and law enforcement officers."

The problem with this theory is that the citizens of Minnesota are willing to die for the good of their neighbors. They know what kind of state they want to live in. The Minnesota state government is enforcing the will of it's people, and they are willing to die

"This looks like" is the tell that even they don't believe their lies
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

I need you all to understand something for those of you who think you know what this black woman who has lived in racist America really thinks. I know this is hard for you all, but some of us saw this coming for years, decades even. So understand, I am not being snarky. I am grieving.

"Fuck Ice" is the new "Do You Hear the People Sing?"
HAPPENING NOW: Protesters forced federal police to retreat from the intersection where they were concentrated. They’ve totally barricaded the street with dumpsters.

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Yes, protests are organized. Do you have a fucking point?
Bondi: "It's extremely organized. The signs they have are all matching, they're well written. And look at what's happening today. How did these people go out & get gas masks? These protesters. Would you know how to walk out on the street and buy a gas mask? Think about that. We're not gonna have it"

They shot Renee Good in the face.
They kidnapped Liam Ramos.
They just executed a man on the street.

Unmask them. Prosecute them. No more secret police.
