"But here’s the thing: the backlogs, delays and political confusion that were on display regarding Afghan immigrants is actually emblematic of how our immigration system works more broadly." https://t.co/hE354OMb7O

As deportation flights continue, we want to be clear: seeking asylum is legal — and a human right. To deport thousands of people back to unimaginable circumstances, from cataclysmic natural disaster and food insecurity to violence and persecution, is unconscionable.

Refugee resettlement has historically had bipartisan support. We need to invest in becoming a welcoming nation again.

Handcuffed and prone, held down by officers. A knee on the neck for six long minutes.

You know about George Floyd. But what of Angel Zapata Hernandez?

W/@D4VIDHernandez, why few knew that, long before Floyd, Angel died in an eerily similar way:

Recently I was asked why people don't respond the same way to riots and burning buildings as we do to shootings. I said, they are not equivalent and deserve different reactions. Is a human life not worth more than a burning building? Mourn and weep with those who mourn.

@kerrianne Whaaaaaaaaaaat.

Just because Christianity can be done poorly, doesn’t mean it can’t be done well.

Jesus had a simple instruction:

“Follow me.”

Not storm the castle, or make your country “great,” or secure your own rights. Just...

“Follow me.”

We can do that. 🙂

@annab_mft I am in the 75-100% side, anywhere in that range depending on the day. Rarely below 😅. It was an every year movie in our household.

There is no morally superior violence. Capital punishment abdicates its moral ground precisely because it mimics, however unconsciously, the very violence it’s sincerely trying to subdue.
