BREAKING: Over 100 priests arrested in Minneapolis for protesting ICE in Minnesota where today it's -21 degrees outside MSP Airport.

The clergy gathered in prayerful solidarity to demand airlines — especially @Delta
and Signature Aviation — cease contracting deportation flights to DHS.

So far, over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP, per organizers.

1. Appalling

[Ocelot II]

7. Old-fashioned civil disobedience, satyagraha in the tradition of MLK and Gandhi.

Nonviolent direct action: Doing something peaceful but disruptive and illegal that you know will get you arrested - sometimes the most effective way to draw attention to an issue.

8. Good trouble!

[Dave Bowman]

2. Nobody's safe from them apparently. 😡

[Wicked Blue]

3. They'd arrest Jesus if he opposed their crime spree

[Ocelot II]

5. They'd *especially* arrest Jesus.

Loudmouthed brown-skinned guy from the Middle East, trying to talk people into feeding the hungry and welcoming the stranger and all that other commie stuff.

[Buckeyeblue]

12. No arrest. They would shoot him in the face.

[Ocelot II]

13. Or crucify him again.

No wonder the Second Coming hasn't happened; he doesn't want to go through that shit again.

[IronLionZion]

18. Jesus, the longhaired Jewish peacenik from the Middle East, won't stand a chance with MAGA

[bdamomma]

29. Why would

the second coming of Christ even want to come???? to this evil fascist country. Nope, this on us.

[Kid Berwyn]

4. Very proud to say I lived during the time Paul Wellstone lived.

"I'm from the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party," as well.

ETA: And I am so proud of the religious who risked their safety and comfort to resist tyranny.

[purr-rat beauty]

6. WWJD?

If Jesus was dying in your hands
What would you say?
It's ok, I didn't care anyway
Is this the best you have?
Is this your only sway?
Or better yet
You than me
As you can see
We need a scapegoat
For all eternity.
Why did you let them do it?
Now they know
They can do it to me
You are supposed to be
The key to set us all free!
And
I'm sorry this happened to you
I had no choice
Trust me
The silencing of your words
Has also stolen my voice

[Mysterian]

9. The resistance to fascism in the USA began in Minnesota

We will build statues to the heroes of the resistance.

[bdamomma]

30. I heard

so many discussions online today, fascists usually eat their own, but that's after they do so much damage to others. But those thugs will throw everyone under the bus. We have the numbers, remember that.

[Doodley]

10. This makes me cry.

[Amaryllis]

22. me too

11. As someone raised Catholic

I know I am not supposed to judge but I hope the chances of the Ice thug squads and those that give them orders, or enable them in anyway(like voting to keep them funded), getting into heaven, decreases exponentially with each unjust act they commit. Unless they repent, and do pennance for the harm they perpetrate on others.

I don't attend mass anymore, but the Catholic Church has my gratitude for their speaking out and peacefully protesting tsf and his minions. Bless all of them who are, especially Pope Leo for giving his blessings in a sense.

[Fozzledick]

14. So we're now at the point where "They came for the Catholic Priests"

That was fast!

[Wicked Blue]

21. And the Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Jewish and Unitarian-Universalist clergy who were there

[bdamomma]

31. WE need

a General strike, Minneapolis is going to have scheduled.

[Wicked Blue]

15. Not just priests - clergy from many faiths

And many of them were women - obviously not priests.

Migrant Insider:

Friday’s mass arrests followed Thursday’s deployment of 200 clergy from across the United States who fanned out across Minneapolis neighborhoods wearing clerical stoles and blowing whistles to alert communities to ICE presence. That group included Baptist, Lutheran, Catholic, Jewish, and Unitarian Universalist leaders who directly intervened in at least one ICE stop, documenting what they described as attempted unlawful detention.

19. All the thuggish actions happening in Minnesota

validate Governor Walz campaign opinion of Trump (and now his administration): He's weird. [They're weird . . . as well as cruel and ignorant and criminal.]

[Amaryllis]

24. Weird is too tame.They call us in Portland weird because of the Portland Frog and the inflatible animal costumes

at protests.

[Solly Mack]

23. K&R

[mucifer]

25. I bet the press will ignore it

[bdamomma]

28. don't they

usually????

[OrlandoDem2]

26. Keep pressuring the airlines! Tell them to stop helping break laws that violate human rights!

[bdamomma]

27. Where

is Senator Klobuchar on all this?????

[Initech]

32. It's way past time to tell Fox News to go fuck themselves.

This was never about churches. It's all about asserting their dominance. Fuck this whole administration.

[Hassler]

33. Apparently Gnome and ICE are all for

Christianity, except when they pray in public against Chumpco.

[B.See]

34. They aren't for Christianity. They just

pimp the term to cover for their twisted cross, sick-fuck mentality and ideology.

Just like they pimp terms like law and order, freedom, patriotism, and any other higher ideal concept they choose to pervert and corrupt in service to their VILE-minded motives.

These fkrs best HOPE hell is a myth.
