Judge warns ICE’s use of “after-the-fact” arrest warrants risks turning the U.S. into a “police state,” calling the practice illegal and unconstitutional.
Within digital environments — structured to persuade — interaction is optimized to the point of rendering a real encounter superfluous; the otherness of persons in the flesh is neutralized, and relationships are reduced to functional responses. Dear friends, you, however, are real persons! Creation itself has a body, a breath, a life to be listened to and safeguarded.
When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE

The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday
This moment -- our declaration of war with Iran tonight to achieve regime change -- reminds me of the beginning of our invasion of Iraq in 2003, but with 4 big differences. THREAD 1/
Crazy ICE experiences yesterday! Four ICE vehicles boxed me in outside my own house after following me home and trying to have me arrested. Watch the video for details!
But one thing was clear: Despite the drawdown, ICE is still here. They’re stalking legal observers in our communities, at times doing so with no regard for traffic laws or safety. No arrests, no ‘criminals’ taken off the streets. Just taxpayer dollars endlessly wasted on masked individuals skulking around our communities. The Trump administration might as well be throwing your money into an incinerator. It’s time for ICE to go home and stop wasting taxpayer money.
