I agree with Pastor Woolf: this is a “spiritual emergency”. The brutalization of protestors & dehumanizing treatment of migrants must stop. Every religious leader needs to stand up.

1,000 victims of sexual exploitation. Can you even imagine the pain these girls, now women, endured?
All because they were taken advantage of by self-centered, wealthy men who cared more about satisfying their own sick“desires” than the life of the girl in front of them. It’s time 4 accountability

Incredible shot of an incredible Baptist pastor, @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social. I reported last week about him getting shot with pepper ball by Illinois State Police outside ICE facility: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/baptist-pa...
Today they violently arrested him during vigil. What a photo.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov WTH is going on? Dragging faith leaders? Please explain why Illinois police are doing this.
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.

Thank you to the Catholic Church. No decent religious group or person can stopper the actions of this cruel administration who is disappearing people & terrorizing our communities
BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Of course he’s in the files. Of course he knew. Of course he was involved.
The victims deserve justice. To be so abused & then to have to fight to be heard is horrible.

I understand the anger at leaders not doing what we hoped for. However the blame & vitriol adds to the polarization that is so toxic today. I’m trying to be compassionate & also - none of us know how this story is going to end. It might surprise us. Spewing hate is not the answer. End of sermon.

I don’t know how to express clearly enough how disempowering it is for the 8 Dem senators to have caved after the incredible victories of last week
@senatedemocrats.bsky.social Do you even know how bad this is?
It’s like you kicked us in the gut. Sold us out. The GOP will not save our healthcare

First Argentina. Now Hungary.
No financial shield for SNAP or the ACA.
Only Trump's dictator buddies.
Hungary is collapsing under Orban, and this deal would ensure Hungary would face “no financing problems" and that the Hungarian economy won't continue to suffocate.
Only the US.

@democrats.senate.gov You sold us out. Shall we send the bills for our new health insurance premiums to your offices? People will end up using the ER for their health care. Some people will go bankrupt or even die. Deeply disappointed

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

I’m with her👇 I can’t even listen to their press conference right now. @democrats.senate.gov you disappoint us again. And again. Time for new leadership.
I've looked at all the details of this deal to end the shutdown reached by a small group of Senate Democrats. I've talked to a number of friends on the Hill to see if there's anything I'm missing. Sadly, I am not.
This is a shit deal. It's a betrayal. It's cowardice.

This, my friends, is what real (not fake) religious people do….
“We have rarely witnessed such brutality erupt into public view like it has in Chicago,” writes Michael Woolf, senior minister of Lake Street Church of Evanston. “For me, this is a spiritual emergency, and it means putting our bodies on the line in order to stop deportations.”
