Doesn't it strike you as strange that the people who shout long and loud that America is a Christian nation founded on Christian principles are the very people who don't want Christ's teachings of tolerance, pacifism, and generosity codified in law?

Heavy rains have deepened Gaza's misery, flooding tents in which many thousands of people are huddled, exposed to winter. A baby recently died of hypothermia.
Israel continues to restrict humanitarian aid, including tents. Nothing but silence from Trump. We must not forget Gaza.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

Made my first court appearance today to defend against the charges from November 14th. The state says that ostensibly what happens in Broadview is legal, but we know it is neither right nor legal. The state says that protesting a concentration camp is wrong, but we know better than that, too.

While I’m glad Commissioner Tisch let Ricky Patel (Special Agent in Charge at HSI) know that she’s not happy with their raids, I’m disturbed by footage of NYPD officers clearing the way for ICE vehicles. It’s a violation of our sanctuary city law to facilitate deportations.
