10 days until the biggest peaceful protests in modern American history. A No Kings Day event is likely happening near you wherever you are. Please join us to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

You know that a person is not an "it". I call upon you to repent of following man and Trump and to speak out for your neighbor. Re-read the story of the Good Samaritan. Choose which one you will be in that story. The one who showed mercy, or not? What does your faith require of you, Christian?

they are human beings made in God's image. They are not an "it".

Probably speaking to the choir on here, but if there happen to be any Trump voters who claim to follow Jesus reading this, I am calling you out specifically. If you are a Christian you know that we are commanded to love our neighbor

The "Department of Homeland Security" which is living up to its Orwellian name has posted a video on Facebook of agents arresting (alleged) illegal aliens and titled the video "Bag it. Tag it. Take it down."

This is grotesque. Even assuming every person in the video committed some criminal act,

Just then Nichols caught sight, through the razor wire, of a row of female prisoners marching past, dressed in drab olive cloaks. One turned and looked at him with narrowed eyes. Wait, could it be? He recognized former Senator Susan Collins.
“I’m very concerned” she mouthed silently. Tom shuddered.

This is, and ought to be, sobering.

I had not thought about it in quite this way.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.
