I am a human made in the image of God, and so are you. Unless *you* are a bot. Jesus is King. Also, His Kingdom is not of this world.

Leaving MAGA @leavingmaga.org · 20/06/2026
After leaving MAGA, I came to understand that I was addicted to fear and rage, and that the media I consumed reinforced and affirmed my addiction. If you're in MAGA, are having doubts, and are questioning whether the information you are consuming is accurate, you are welcome at Leaving MAGA.

Five years. Five years of denial. Five years after retaliating against Emily Hyland. Five years while she had to rebuild her life, her career, and her community without her church home. A judge has ruled: @daneortlund was neither gentle nor humble.

It misrepresents God when we tell victims of atrocious, life-changing abuse to simply forgive and forget. Forgiveness of any wrong, let alone a life-shattering one, is never a “just do it” task.

Clergy sexual abuse is not an affair; pedophilia is not about struggling with difficult circumstances; molesting adolescents is not about a struggling marriage. Such things must be called by their right names—the abuser needs to be held responsible for his/her abusive behavior.

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.
II.
New Policy
When a refugee is admitted to the United States, the admission is conditional and subject to a mandatory review after one year of physical presence in the United States under INA § 209(a)(1), 8 U.S.C. § 1159(a)(1).¹ At one year after admission:

Footnote 1: 8 C.F.R. § 209.1(a)(1) states that every refugee whose status has not been terminated "is required to apply to USCIS one year after entry in order for USCIS to determine his or her admissibility.. ." 8 C.F.R. § 209.1(b) provides that this

The refugee must return, or be returned, to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) custody for inspection and examination for admission as an LPR.
If the refugee does not voluntarily return, DHS will return the individual to custody (i.e., arrest and detain) for this purpose.
DHS may maintain custody for the duration of the inspection and examination process.
This detain-and-inspect requirement ensures that refugees are re-vetted after one year, aligns post-admission vetting with that applied to other applicants for admission, and promotes public safety.

Oppression is literally a crushing of the image of God in humans. To say or do nothing when power is abused is to contribute to the defacing of God’s image in others. In other words, it is to join with the enemy of God, who sought to destroy that same image.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we must ask: has the Church lost its moral courage and sacrificial love? Many young people didn’t reject Jesus. They rejected a Church that looked more like a social club than a movement of love, justice, and courage.
