Thank you to all the clergy who led and participated in tonight's Zoom Compline and vigil, and especially Rev. Isaiah Shaneequa Brokenleg for the Lakota mourning song. ⚓

"Of old, God the incorporeal and uncircumscribed was never depicted. Now, however, when God is seen clothed in flesh, and conversing with men, I make an image of the God whom I see. I do not worship matter, I worship the God of matter, who became matter for my sake,

idk, if it wasn’t having some amount of impact, they probably wouldn’t be whining about the whistles in fact, they’ve seemed to disburse the gang of sex abusers & murderers from @homelandcbp.bsky.social & @homelandgov.bsky.social more than once there’s more of us than there are of them

I am convinced that ICE is full of people possessed by demons tbh

Orientation this evening for my lay preaching cohort! Pray for us and all preachers and preachers-in-training in this time that particularly needs faithful preaching! 🕯

I am very sensitive to the struggles of women and nonbinary people and am very much an intersectional feminist. But I also think that the Church's response to gendered language of God should also include unabashed use of the masculine terms found in scripture, and emphasizing that God's pronouns

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

We saw the same thing in 2020. People get too bogged down in the trappings of security. You can't cosplay yourself to anonymity. If you are going out on the streets of Minneapolis, there is simply zero way to ensure your identity is safe from the feds.

I have to say, I'm a little frustrated, there are vast numbers of horrifying videos of ICE circulating privately right now, but a lot of paranoia about sharing them publicly on social media. Sharing is fairly low-risk and THE ONLY WAY the full scope of what's happening here will be understood.

If people hadn't been willing to share video, for instance, the official narrative on George Floyd would have stood, and his death would have been fully covered up. It is really vital that if you have video of ICE acting aggressively, you let the public see.

Run the gif.

that we, surely trusting in thy defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries;

everyone i know is "doin' ok."

Aaron Rodgers in the pocket

ICE just indiscriminately stopped a citizen at a bus stop in front of the co-op. If this is how they treat the President of the Minneapolis City Council who is legally observing, just think of what they’re doing to everyone else in our City.

Seriously—why are Dems so opposed to full-throatedly denouncing ICE/DHS? What’s the actual political downside?

Bishop Barron has said nothing about ICE terrorizing the state in which diocese is located, btw

if they deploy the guard again, it’s just gonna be this again lol

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face. If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

People on the ground in Minneapolis are begging people to not post unverified stuff because it’s causing confusion and making organizing harder and these posters really went with “that’s a you problem” JFC

shout out to the priest I once went to for confession who kindly responded to my confessing some issues w sloth by being like "this sounds a little bit like depression, which is not a sin & there is treatment" etc & I was like, I love that you're saying this, but also, I am just being slothful lol

Karl Barth undefeated

Also lol: religion reporting, 2026.

ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into. They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

Incredible @statuscoupnews.bsky.social interview with Skye, who says she’s a Marine Corps vet and appears to have just been released from Whipple. She says she was trapped by ICE, yanked out of her car and stomped on. 1/2

Theyre pissed off when women exist confidently without being the sexual and domestic laborers for men. Thats why they have been targetting queer women openly since they murdered Renee. They hate any one who challenges their sense of white male dominance in any way. They want to keep killing.

Separate from the obvious misogyny of the last few days, it’s been striking to watch the right wing media apparatus really confront the role of normie middle-aged women as a leading and increasingly radical force of opposition to trump

Democrats officially going all in on the mealy mouthed “ICE needs training” narrative. No. ABOLISH ICE.

the thing about “ICE needs training” is that Jonathan Ross was a ten year DHS vet and a firearms instructor he’s the kind of guy they get training from the whole institution is rotten, throw it out

it is 2016. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2020. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithfuls say they just need more training. it is 2026. the cops have murdered someone in minneapolis. the dem faithf

When he tells you who he is, believe him. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...

Abolish ICE and charge Jonathan Ross, Kristi Noem, Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, Kash Patel, and Marco Rubio with murder, war crimes, obstruction of justice.

Minneapolis right now— At 35th and Park, a crowd has gathered after a car crash involving the feds. Agents just launched tear gas and pepper balls at people.

if you put this in a script even erin brockovitch would be like “too on the nose, dial it back”

this is our boy's time to fuckin shine ✊

Evict ICE, not us. Allowing our neighbors to be evicted because ICE has made it impossible for them to pay rent is unacceptable. Minneapolis needs an immediate eviction moratorium to keep people in their homes.

I am not going to hold back on the message we need to hear: If you have no vulnerable people depending on you to live. Ask God for boldness. Trust he will give you the words to say when youre dragged before the powers of this world. And be ready to die for the sake of Christ and his beloved. ⚓️

Yes, BUT ALSO, I think it is still a good idea to report any illegal ICE activity that you see. Not because the cops are going to do anything (they won't) but because if you call it is documented. We have to take care of one another and keep each other safe NOW, but one day there will be a reckoning

Beyond praying for us, prepare. This is going to come to your community if it hasnt already. They will be going door to door with guns. They will be going to schools, hospitals and places of worship with guns. They will be beating, kidnapping and maybe even killing your neighbors. Get connected. 🕯

it’s not hyperbole either, it’s actually happening right now. a RN at another hospital was threatened by ICE over the weekend as well.

it's incredible how if you put this entire dialog into the Left Behind series, it would basically work, but instead it's just IRL MN

Why am I at work when my community is being occupied by murderous gestapo wannabes targetting anyone with melanin in their skin or any ounce of queerness in their presentation? when Im scared my indigenous sister in law may wind up disappeared or killed, leaving my nephews & niece motherless?

ICE targetted a white queer legal observer in the Twin Cities. They said "havent you learned? this is why we killed that lesbian bitch." they called this person "it" and smashed her face into the ground and tried breaking her ankles. They also broke the hand of a queer person earlier this week.

Yes, it is. Yet. It didn't start with death camps but with this kind of stuff. And the fact that the population of the US let this happen shows that all their talk about love of freedom was bullshit.

A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

feels excessive

I tried to make carnitas tacos for Finn and I this evening for the first time ever. Used a crockpot to slow cook well seasoned pork shoulder. Then of course shredded it and threw it on a hot pan for a couple minutes to get some crisly bits. Very good!

“‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat… I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick & in prison and you did not look after me.’”
