I wanted to share probably the most important sermon I’ve given and it’s while I’m being arrested. It’s torture pure and simple what happens at #Broadview. I’m ok, though I was thrown to the ground and choked with my pectoral cross. A review of the video shows I was peaceful - did I deserve this?

Maybe we should rename the long lines for food banks for federal workers “The Donald J. Trump Foodline.”
This is how Trump does everything. Reporting from reliable sources says he’s going to do something outrageous/ridiculous. He immediately claims it’s fake news. Then a few days or weeks later he does exactly what was originally reported.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Help me breathe deeply
of this moment,
of this miracle of now.
Beneath the noise and fury…
of harsh news
and urgent crises,
make me attentive
to good news,
to small occasions,
and to the grace
of what I might be,
do, give, and receive.
