Imagine taking the few Bible verses on human sexuality and women being silent in church as literal divine commands from God for all society, but minimizing the +2,000 verses calling for a generous economy and redistribution of wealth for the sake of the poor to a personal choice.

Rubio Today: It’s false to say I said the U.S. had to attack because Israel was going to attack. That’s not what I said. Rubio Yesterday: We knew Israel was going to strike Iran, and that would trigger attacks on U.S. forces. If we didn’t act first, Americans would suffer higher casualties.

The irony of ICE detaining and disappearing the original Americans should stop everyone cold. As a Lakota proverb says, when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount. This system isn’t broken. It’s dead.

i don't think this protest is helpful or effective. first and most importantly, this church has the right to worship freely and that appears to be interrupted. also this is the kind of protest that will energize right-wing christians and support their belief that they are the ones being persecuted.

Although DHS has been co-opting Bible verses in several videos (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/the-bible-...), this is 1st time they used words of Jesus or any New Testament verse. That, of course, makes this video even more theological problematic! Here's what they've used over last several months:

On this idea of a rogue, private police force, it's worth stressing that these ICE officers and their commanders are supposed to be public servants but are in no sense operating as if they are serving the public or bound to the law. They are serving Trump first.

The use of "police" by DHS/ICE agents is a fabrication; an attempt to deceive; demonstrates contempt for the communities they descend on. For they aren't from there, aren't trained as police, aren't working w/local police. They are literally a foreign occupying force - the opposite of "police." 2/
