So it may not sound like something that is possible, but honestly, today I think I’m just too worked up to write. I’m still shocked and horrified by the militaristic action taken in Chicago against people who appear to be US citizens, not that anyone should be treated that way.

I have contacted my members of Congress, I have shared the information, but what more is there to say?

Republicans, who control all three branches of government, have shut down the government, though there is language plastered all over official government sites claiming Democrats, who hold no power, are responsible.

On government sites.

This is a descension we knew was coming but didn’t want to see. I had zero desire to be right about all the dire things I’ve been saying for almost a decade.

I would have loved to be wrong.

I was not wrong.

We were not wrong.

And here we are.

A nightmare that grows deeper and more terrifying day by day by day. And we’re not even a year in.

What gets to me but doesn’t surprise me are the Constitution-thumping republicans who suddenly have never heard of anything within the Constitution, aside from the Second Amendment.

The Bible-thumping republicans who claim to be “good Christians” who, instead of (from google’s AI summary):

Leviticus 19:33-34 (NIV): “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God'”. Exodus 22:21 (NIV): “Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt”. Deuteronomy 10:19 (NIV): “And he loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing”. Matthew 25:35 (NIV): Jesus teaches that welcoming a stranger is a way of welcoming Him. 

In the New Testament 

Believers are encouraged to see themselves as “strangers on earth” and to view all believers as fellow citizens and members of God’s household.

are happy to participate in atrocities against “foreigners” and citizens alike.

Are there none who actually “practice what they preach?” Are there none who can look at what is happening, what THEY are doing, what THEY are enabling, what THEY are supporting and funding and say “this is fundamentally wrong?”

Every ounce of “morality” is a show for republicans, every Bible quote a fraud. If donald wants to prosecute “anti-Christian” ideas, he should start with his own party and policies.

Anyway, that’s it for me for today and tomorrow, I won’t be posting, so I will probably see you Friday, and if not, I wish you great days for all of those days until we speak again.

Buy me a cup of coffee!
