"What Bishop Budde did, in this particular moment in time, was nothing short of extraordinary. Her sermon wasn’t just brave—it was an act of rebellion that exposed the fragility of tyrants."

"It was the reaction of Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), though, that was most indicative of the current moment: He publicly called for the bishop [i.e., Bishop Mariann Budde] to be deported."

"ICE is here in parts of Detroit and some suburbs with many immigrants (Arabs and Latins), including Dearborn & Hamtramck.
They applauded & voted for Trump last fall.

Because: 'Gaza.' …

We tried to tell them.

They wouldn’t listen. That’s why swing state Michigan went to Trump, and last November, those people were happy and proud of how they made that happen."

"The reason this moment today popped out for me at least is that there are very few moments where culturally or religiously, I guess, we see people stand up and say, 'Actually, no, this is wrong, no, you shouldn't do this,' because we're in this very defensive crouch for anyone who's an opponent of what Trumpism is. So I think this is why this has got some resonance. ... And maybe that sparks other people to say something."

"And that you help those that are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were all once strangers in this land."

The man's response? He has called Bishop Budde "nasty," a word he reserves for uppity women, and he demands that she apologize.

"they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation. But the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurudwaras, and temples.

I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away."

The man in the White House announced Monday that God had placed him there, though he avoided placing his hand on the bible as he swore an oath.

He went to church Tuesday, something he almost never does, and heard Episcopal bishop Mariann Budde preach — to him.

He did not like what the bishop said to him in the name of the God he claims he represents. To wit:

Donald and JD , together with their spouses, this morning attended the , another custom.

During the service, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, Mariann Edgar Budde, appealed directly to the president to rethink some of his hardline policies, particularly towards and people.

Here’s what she said:

“Let me make one final plea, Mr president. Millions have put their trust in you, and as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God.

In the name of our God, I ask you to have upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are , and children in Democratic, Republican and independent families, some who fear for their lives.

And the people, the people, who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals, they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of are not criminals.

They pay taxes and are good neighbors.
“I ask you to have mercy, Mr President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here,” Budde said.

Neither Trump nor Vance showed much obvious reaction to her words.


@Alpha1Nine This is what makes the Episcopal faith so special. That radical love and compassion is what is needed in this world right now

"What that's going to do is it's going to take your tax dollars and distribute them to people of color, to black Americans, to women who want to work outside the home, people who want a handout, want something for nothing. And we, the good Americans who want to work for what we get, are being cheated."

The obscenely rich know just how to play us Americans. And to our shame, many of us are pliable players.

"Today, the guardrails have become so flimsy that blatant corruption barely makes the news. On Friday night, Trump launched a meme coin—a digital token with no real-world value whatsoever—and abruptly increased his net worth by tens of billions of dollars."

~ Brian Klaas

The level of corruption we're about to see as super-rich handlers control government will be astonishing and unprecedented.

"Every time the government, the federal government especially, is used to expand rights and opportunities for people who are not previously included, there's a backlash. ...

There's a backlash in which people who are trying to garner wealth and power simply say to voters, now, wait a minute here."

"...patient advocacy is integral to health care. Medical professionals constantly battle insurance companies and pharmacy benefit managers to get our patients’ medical treatments covered.
