The Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande received a letter from Trump’s DHS today accusing them of human trafficking because they run a shelter for migrants—a shelter paid for, in part, *by* DHS. It is an attack on the freedom of religion, and on the trustworthiness of the govt. youtu.be/7Wl4f0bA4MI

The dumpster fire in the dump truck is restricting entry to the US by countries with black and brown citizens. No need to dress it up or pretend it's anything else.

Oh: Episcopal Diocese of Rio Grande apparently received a letter from DHS suggesting they were involved in human trafficking. In a video, Bishop Michael Hunn fervently rejects the claims and declares: "We …have been practicing our Constitutionally guaranteed faith." www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Wl4...

Such a good book. Everyone needs to read it. Thank you @pablo.show for a whole podcast on the Barn by Wright Thompson.

From 45 years ago… “The substantive danger to this society, so far as law is concerned, comes from the operation of lawless authority and the substitution of the power of coercion for the rule of law.” William Stringfellow, A Simplicity of Faith

'They shouldn’t have to fight alone’: families on the frontline of the Navajo Nation missing people crisis. Disproportionate violence against Indigenous people is deeply felt on & around the reservation, where families must become their own investigators. #MMIW/R www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

The government is demanding that a school discipline students as it wants, change the authority structure at the school, and end a department it doesn’t like. Remember that next time some person on the right tells you the GOP is the free speech party.

Yes! Their sweet habanero version is the best!

The Trump administration is confessing to its own constitutional violations. On Morning Joe earlier today I tried to explain that the admin's actions are truly extraordinary. I never saw anything quite like this in more than 20 years of litigation: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJpP...

By summer, there will be a bailout for farmers because of the idiocy of this government.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

Exquisite response by Georgetown Dean to interim USA Ed Martin On Martin's threat letter not to hire grads until Martin approves of law school curriculum: "The constitutional violation behind this threat is clear, as is the attack on the University’s mission as a Jesuit and Catholic institution."

This makes me think of the work of @daviddark.bsky.social

i get that america is collapsing, but have you ever stopped to think that maybe Murdered & Missing Indigenous women and girls like Emily Pike are connected to this? and your lack of caring is connected to this? have you ever thought about starting at the root cause? at our ongoing genocide?

Hey now. Ouch!

Beautiful prayer for this morning. #UTO

Today’s psalm was quite the help! Psalm 37 Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; * do not be jealous of those who do wrong. For they shall soon wither like the grass, * and like the green grass fade away. Put your trust in the Lord and do good; * dwell in the land and feed on its riches.

Almighty God, you proclaim your truth in every age by many voices: Direct, in our time, we pray, those who speak where many listen & write what many read; that they may do their part in making the heart of this people wise, its mind sound, & its will righteous; to the honor of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Trump’s DOJ Has Erased a Key Report On Violence Against Native American Women. The Justice Department has removed a report from its website that lays out recommendations for tackling the crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women. #MMIW www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

::taps sign::

these are segregationists.

my take is that your willingness to accept this gulf of america nonsense is an indicator of your willingness to accept much worse things coming from this administrator

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans. Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

“I am a creation of the new covenant. God has written his commandments in my heart. I am not the same person that I was. I have been planted by the stream of living water. In the time of drought, I will still be fed by the unconquerable purpose of God." (Fleming Rutledge)

This entire thing is almost comically corrupt

I wrote about TEC's Intake Officer in the Title IV process, and specifically whether the role has "pastoral discretion" regarding what to do with an allegation of misconduct. ⚓ detestableenormities.substack.com/p/tec-sideba...

There is absolutely no salvation without love: this is the wheel in the middle of the wheel. Salvation does not divide. Salvation connects, so that one sees oneself in others and others in oneself. - James Baldwin
