staringatclouds@Infrogmation Evidently Walmart didn't have boots the right size for the wannabe soldier pepper spraying the priest
StarravenGuess the Presbyterians aren't following the playbook for official Christianity. I mean, that subversive Reverend Fred (Mister) Rogers was one of them.

Protesters arrested at Broadview anti-ICE demonstration have been released
Ten people arrested during a clash Friday with federal immigration agents have been freed, a spokesperson for the National Lawyers Guild said. But there was no word on whether any of them had been charged. One protester successfully helped get a detainee freed.

EpiscoBishop Budde at the National Cathedral fearlessly faced down the Orange Turd with truth
Congregationalist Bishop Wm Barber III has been arrested repeatedly leading the ##PoorPeoplesCampaign
The people who play KKKristians on TV (& the folks they're fooling) haven't reckoned on the depth of Christian resistance yet

SearingTruth31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.”
34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’”
37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’”
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’”
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’”
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’”
Matthew 25:31-45

Indyzign 🏳️⚧️ 🏴@Infrogmation imagine the convo with his wife when he gets home:

Wife: You’re an asshole

Rupert V/@Infrogmation I think "mooks" is a better term than goons.
Faceless minions of evil who may be beaten and killed without moral qualm.

Hm, interesting link.
I used the phrase "jackbooted thugs" as that used to be a meme of the US far right - what supposedly "big government" "Commie" Bill Clinton was going to send out to oppress America.

@Infrogmation Ah, so you did. Must have been something else I read that called them goons and triggered that thought.
