I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

- “stay classy, Eriador”… AND FINALLY
- “and remember: Keep it secret, keep it safe. Until next time”

It matters to me that people who have never known Christianity to preach real love and liberation hear me -
a priest,
a Bible-reading,
Jesus-loving,
Southern mama who hot rolls her hair & thinks biscuits are manna from heaven -
say that God didn’t make us to hate us.
God made us for joy.
