You must watch this. Trump's Dept. of Homeland Security sent a letter to the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande accusing them of human trafficking for aiding migrants legally in the US, supported & funded by the US government. Absolutely disgusting actions by Trump. This is an attack on all of us. - ThreadSky

Sadly it's no more than can be expected from this deranged man.

trump has a grudge against the Episcopalians cause he's still frosty about Mariann Budde. The Episcopal Church is the American version of the Church of England. Started by Henry VIII. They still have Tudor DNA, don't fuck with them. 😏

I suspect you're correct on all counts but Trump & minions aren't going to stop here. They're going after anyone & everyone who is willing to help migrants, legal or otherwise. The goal is to terrorize people, the helpers as well as those who need help. It's up to us to figure out how to help & soon

As a Christian faith leader, it’s up to people like you to call out the hypocrisy and the fake Christian trumpet and remind them that there is nothing Christian about any of his actions

I think it's fair to say this is exactly what The Clergy Letter Project is doing! Please look at our statement about the importance of #inclusion #diversity #religion #science #truth for communities & individuals showing the damage Trump admin is doing to the most vulnerable among us. Please share!

Don’t give me wrong, I applaud your efforts. They just need to be a lot more of you. There’s too many people like my cousin who have been devout Christians their whole life who follow Trump and worship him like he was a God. They’re blind to all the things that are Against what Jesus taught

I never doubted your intent! Like you I wish there were more people like the members of The Clergy Letter Project, they're good people working to make the world better. But it's difficult to find ways to reach out. I'm hoping folks like you will post about our efforts. That will make a difference.

The Bishop shouldn't be incensed. He should feel honored. He should be worried when evil people speak well of him, not when they berate him for living out his faith. God Bless the Bishop.

Yes, but they may well move beyond berating & use the legal system to attack him & his fellow believers. And the berating might lead some of Trump's followers to perpetrate violence on him, his followers or those they're working to help. And it may well scare others from helping. This is the start.

I understand, but there is still something to be said to be on Trump's enemies list. It means you have to be doing something right. This might, unfortunately, be a time of cross-bearing for many of us.
