When We All Get to Heaven is an audio documentary that follows a group of LGBTQ Christians trying to make sense of the widespread illness and death during the '80s AIDS crisis, all while caught between a faith that rejected their sexual identity and a gay rights movement that rejected God.

Three church choir members singing in white and cream religious robes during a church service, with one person wearing glasses and another a cross necklace, standing beside a microphone in a softly lit sanctuary. Bold white text above reads “WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN” beside a gold Peabody Winner laurel emblem.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.

@ADL on X: We welcome @VP @JoeBiden’s admission he erred in describing those who take financial advantage of American servicemen & women as #shylocks.

Yuriana Julia Pelaez Calderon, an organizer with the Los Angeles-based Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment, was picked up by men in an unmarked car last Wednesday, and nobody knows where she is. She made a phone call late Friday and the information she gave is chilling:

Juli was able to make a phone call late Friday and told her family that:

She is in a warehouse, but she does not know the location

She believes that the people who picked her up are bounty hunters

There are many others being held where she is being held.
