The powerful are only as powerful as the horizon of your imagination. Needed this reminder today:
"Put no more trust in a mere human,
who has only the breath in his nostrils.
What is he really worth?"
(Isaiah 2:22 CSB)

Note: The pastor being thrown to the ground and arrested here while protesting outside an ICE facility here — who police single out — appears to be Rev. Michael Woolf, a Baptist pastor (he’s ordained by both American Baptist Churches USA and Alliance of Baptists).
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.
he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.
situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

The current administration *depends* on the public having goldfish-like attention spans. That’s part of the strategy, I’m pretty sure.

The young people here are the Very Online RCN bros who have been harping about this for months.

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

"Trump’s message to the American people this week:
-You’re too dumb to build things, we need 500,000 jeets a year to fill the jobs
-You’re too dumb for college, we need 600,000 Chinese to fill the school slot... (source)

I’ve been very comforted by the prophets in recent months.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking God hasn’t been seeing all this and won’t do anything about it. The OT prophets emphatically state that He sees and does not ignore it.

Also, this one seems relevant.

by grinding the face of the poor?'
declares the Lord GOD of hosts."

Reflecting on the fact that childish people in power was a sign of judgment for Israel...

Tbh, the dead-eyed cynicism that’s going to set in over the next few years is what really concerns me.

I mean, yeah. But Trump was convicted of sexual assault, bragged about sexual assault, was convicted of fraud, etc, etc and ppl still elected him to be the president of these United States so maybe we’re dealing with a more systemic problem is all I’m saying
"Convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein" is a phrase that first appeared in newspapers in March 2011 and appeared regularly from that point onward. it is INCONCEIVABLE to me that this many people were still associating with him!!

still crickets over on X re: the emails.
what *is* happening is that they're big mad at Trump over H1B and 50 year mortgages.
it's not going to be the pervy stuff that starts the uprising—it's going to be the price of houses and the fact that there are still people with accents here.

Increasingly convinced that the RCNs are just terrible at reading the Bible. If we're going to challenge the ideology, I think it really needs to be at the level of exegesis.
