@PabloReports People are going to be at risk of taking their own lives in these situations - I have purposely not read anything on ICE in the last while, and this is why...i can't.
@PabloReports anyone think it's okay to send immigrants to a repressive country in South Africa, reading an article about that practically ripped my heart out; potentially a year in solitary confinement b/c the country is known to be corrupt and who knows what deal has been made??
@tklaroidata@thekidlaroi 'lies' sounds malicious, i think everything he says is with good intentions, you can hear how apologetic he is ALL the time about this stuff.
@cwebbonline interesting how she struggled to put words to whom the prison can hold ('can hold anything')....and what relevancy is there in pairing 'middle class" and "violent prisoners"...and everything else about this is just so low bar
@LongTimeHistory Someone explain why it's okay to send people to 'third countries' instead of them staying in the U.S.? How is that even allowed to go forward - no previous connections in that country; setting family up for further trauma and without support to navigate their new normal. why??
@Partisan_12 I can't anymore, i can't wrap my head around the mentality you have to have to think your fellow/neighboring human beings are worthless...this hate is a new breed, and more generations are raised to think the same...and than cling to 'victim' mentality while they starve others
@cwebbonline does anyone find it incredibly heart-breaking that the people (pet owners) are going to live in conditions worse than their pets for an indefinite amount of time...?
@907PhilSr@James_West_PhD@JesterJum Doing good things without a 'christian/church-driven' agenda comes across lot more authentic to people you are 'serving'. I used to think very diff, but something always felt a bit off about handing out slips of paper telling ppl God loves them. I didn't need that to find God
@James_West_PhD@JesterJum the 'mission' of Christianity has become so tainted by Christian Nationalism I can't even look at my past church in same light. Used to feel like a safe space, but i see social media posts of 'church goers' and church is currently not for me b/c I like authenticity and integrity
@James_West_PhD@JesterJum I have found reading the bible w/o being told what lens to read it through is important. Don't think it's wrong to do 'church' in ways that don't involve 'superficial Sunday talk'. I find some of the most superficial convos happen within a church, depending on the church.
@James_West_PhD@JesterJum "You have neither community nor the ability to engage in good works without a church." - false (community and doing good for a community is not only w/i church walls); a 'well done' sermon is super subjective and there are plenty of ways to be inspired, including personal study.
