Astonishing to stop and realize that, at any given moment, bands of masked men armed to the teeth are storming churches and daycares, terrorizing entire communities—and that most of the country's political establishment barely blinks.

St. Bart's faithfully shows up to stand with the trans and immigrant communities (to which many members or their loved ones belong). I can't wait to see them (and preach!) this Thursday.

Imagine being 17, your little brother by your side, begging to speak to your dad as he’s dragged away. You may never see him again. And this is every day. Soul shattering, nightmarish stuff, never to be forgiven.
A Naperville man was hauled away by federal immigration agents Thursday morning as his two sons watched, the older boy begging them not to hurt his father and tearfully asking for a chance to speak to him before they left.

In past week, Trump sent troops from Texas to invade Chicago, sent Blackhawk helicopter and ICE agents to attack an apartment building in Chicago and indicted NY AG Tish James for investigating him. If you read about this in another country you'd say that was a fascist regime. You'd be right.
