Today (Yesterday) I spoke at the Arlington Heights Village Board Meeting calling on them to protect immigrants and to draft an ordinance prohibiting ICE on Village-owned properties. 30 people spoke in favor and none opposed. The ordinance passed unanimously 8-0. That was just to draft it

It is very good, I think, that we have found a way to remain a truly international denomination.
Not national Methodist churches in a loose communion, but one worldwide United Methodist Church, despite schism rending us asunder and the occasional heresy oppressing.

I celebrate that the United Methodist Church approved language to no longer allow discrimination against people with disabilities in the church. It is a good first step, but laws do not change hearts. We need honest efforts of listening and giving leadership voice to people with disabilities.

A momentous moment in the history of Methodism!!!! United Methodists vote to decolonize and regionalize the #UMC, vote for nondiscrimination to gender and ability, a full throated condemnation of white supremacy and colonialism and a 4th question on education requirements #UMCGC
BREAKING: The United Methodist Church overwhelmingly voted to ratify regionalization, a plan to restructure the denomination giving regions across the globe more autonomy. The UMC Council of Bishops just announced the results, story coming soon. #UMC www.unitedmethodistbishops.org/newsdetail/u...

The Voting Rights Act of 1965 is literally America’s first legitimate attempt at representative democracy.
That’s within living memory.
The SCOTUS dealt it a major blow in 2013 (Shelby v. Holder).
If Louisiana v. Callais deals the VRA another blow, we’ve stopped pretending.

That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other.

Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace.
