Didn’t expect to be back online two weeks postpartum (excuse the snoring baby sounds), but I need to respond to Rick Scott’s insane claim that DHS or ICE are “underfunded.” Don’t let his no vote today pacify you. He voted no because he doesn’t think ICE has enough.

“At one point, a group of clergy stepped off the curb, knelt on the pavement and began to pray. ‘Everybody’s got a right to live and before this campaign fails, we’ll all go down to jail, they sang. Protesters cheered as police arrested a few dozen of the clergy and loaded them onto buses.”

Amid ICE clashes, New Hampshire bishop urges clergy to prepare their wills The Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire told priests protesting ICE to get their wills and affairs in order. Some praise the bishop, while other priests say they never signed up to be martyrs.

"I've asked them to get their affairs in order to make sure they have their wills written... because it may be that now is no longer the time for statements, but for us with our bodies to stand between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable..."
