Today, in my hometown of Norman, Oklahoma, children are coming home from school to find their parents gone, taken by agents of the government. These are poor people, all bearing the image of God, all our brothers and sisters, part of our lives, communities, and churches. This is beyond shameful.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

The guy spend a chunk of his childhood in an internment camp because our government thought he might be dangerous because he was of Japanese descent. He was also gay when you were forced to hide it. It’s been much worse for a lot of people in our history. George knows what he’s talking about.

The more education someone has, the more likely they are to report attending religious services weekly. It's been true every year it's been collected. Today about 30% of folks w/a college degree are weekly attenders. It's ~20% of folks w/a high school diploma.
