I was very happy to read that Chief Justice John Roberts made it very clear to Trump that he cannot fire a District Court Judge. I plan on sending Chief Justice a Thank you and encourage him to stand up more to Trump when he is out of line.

The date is wrong, but the information is correct for the assassination. I’m giving up on communicating on this thread! Thanks, Diane! This IS joyful news for sure!

Sorry. I always send before finishing. Trump said it was “DEI”. Medgar Evers was assassinated by the KKK on this date in 1968 for helping blacks register to vote.

This is fantastic! And, it’s what the religious community must be doing. The southern churches, for the most part, shied away from segregation and racial justice. The church should have been stepping up first. Received a message from the great investigative news source , “Mississippi Today,” that Trump had ordered the grave marker in the Veteran’s National be removed because it was DIE

God can not call our representatives and tell them what they need to do. WE are the one to do that. Even our representatives realize they can not stay in office without votes. The rich will buy publicity. The president will make threats. But WE are the only ones who vote. OUR representatives will listen to us. 202 224 3121 is the switchboard for our representatives. Call them daily! YOU tell them what to do. Christ speaks trough YOU.

Powerful examples of faith in action. Thank you for sharing this, for amplifying the message and connecting us to the filing documents.

The USCCB must call forth and NAME the dangerous messages and behaviors of the Trump Administration! Cardinal Dolan and others must be grounded in integrity and faith and able to step up with integrity and faith.

I grew up in the Church of the Brethren, one of the three Historical Peach Churches with the Mennonites and Quakers. Though small denomination, they've had some important influence in the world over their long history. I'm so proud to have been a participant in their focus which has been more on service to those in need, rather than a lot of evangelizing. So pleased that they, along with other churches, are pooling their resources and increasing their strength through cooperation.

Thank you, Diana, for keeping us informed! You are very brave. Thank you for being so very brave. I am thankful for this suit against armed military raids in our churches. I have seen some Facebook clips of these heavily armed troops entering apartment buildings searching for immigrants. So horrible . I can’t believe this is happening in the United States of America.
