“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters…
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

When the Arimathæan took Thee dead from the Tree
who art the Life of all,
He wrapped Thee, O Christ,
with myrrh and linen;
and he longed to embrace Thee
and to press Thine undefiled Body to his heart and lips.
But, being restrained by fear,
with rejoicing he cried out to Thee:
“Glory to Thy condescension, O Lover of humankind!”

I wouldn’t say that most federally recognized Natives are white-passing but many are. Also, it’s far too derivative to say that most of these Natives are white supremacists. There are plenty of NDNs that are darker-skinned, myself included, along with the majority of my tribe. Mullin, for all his MAGA faults, has also worked with and for tribal issues alongside democrats. Regardless, many Natives in governmental positions fight for the gov instead of tribal nations, sadly.

I don’t know if this is supposed to be reassuring or not, lol. Is this going to be retroactive? 😳

“‘Your test is the domicile of the parents, and that is the test you’d have us apply today, right?’ [Gorsuch] said. ‘Are tribal members born today birthright citizens?’”

“Sauer hesitated: ‘Uh, I think so on our test, yeah, if they’re lawfully domiciled. I’d have to think that through.’”

The sale is the second time in months that a large Oklahoma warehouse pursued by ICE for detention use has instead gone to another buyer.
