At some point, government executives (mayors, county executives, governors) will have to say, "No!" To the overreach and immoral actions of a tyrannical President. An immorally applied law is not law at all. No more ICE and National Guard in our streets.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous. Courage is contagious.

In the midst of this Chistmas season, I am reminded that the Christian faith began as a subversive movement that challenged the empire and the established faith communities. If Christianity is to survive in a way that reflects its early values, it must become what it once was in its earliest days.
