@megbasham under previous admins, Sey would have been allowed to remain with his family in the US while he obtained lawful status. this policy is unjust, and he will likely be blocked from returning to for up to 10 years. i'm tired of the "law and order" people forgetting grace. Mt. 23:23
@megbasham so is it good or bad that DHS unilaterally cancelled protections for ethiopians living in the US? and that many will be deported to countries that return them back to this danger? https://t.co/AaR4smwDvJ
@LauraRbnsn@RealKeriSmith@reputationfan13 If he is released back to his family, I suspect it will be done as a way to assuage the "right people"'s fears that ICE is cruel above all and not actually concerned with following the law or justice. so that they can continue to walk in blindness while ICE's cruelty abounds
@ViktorAttorney@David_J_Bier just... don't then? who's forcing people to hang out with noncitizens? or if you mean general, daily interaction with noncitizens, it should not be government policy to protect only the rights of a racist few when in the public sphere. segregation is from the stone age.
I testified yesterday at a hearing, again about immigrants and crime. Nothing makes the Republicans more infuriated than pointing out that immigrants lower the crime rate.
@SeamusOfMI@justinamash he self-describes as capitalist and is not part of the dsa. i dunno, seems to me he just wants our tax dollars spent in michigan. his message everywhere is consistent.
@LauraRbnsn students were paired up and had to do some kind of presentation on a book. HS. fellow student and i chose animal farm and we did a two-person play! i remember being surprised at how fun it was
@TheTalent96 @actingliketommy@megbasham@allenanalysis Friend... that's Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, commander of the 20th Maine, who famously held the flank against the rebs at the Battle of Gettysburg with bayonets "at all hazards". A union man and an american hero.
@Aflame4Truth@megbasham "For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.”
"For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake.”
“I consider my life worth nothing to me..."
@Aflame4Truth@megbasham is, there your heart will be also
–Sell your possessions and give to the poor… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also
–Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
And Paul, too:
“Offer your bodies as a living sacrifice..."
@megbasham and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. ...If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? ...And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same?'
@megbasham How then should Christians be?
'If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also; if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well; and if someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you...
