Hours before #Trump took the oath of office while refusing to touch a #Bible, #Pope #Francis called Trump's potential #immigration policies a "disgrace." The #USCCB issued guidelines and encouraged lawmakers to make immigration policy "targeted, proportional, and humane."
Soon, #faith leadership from all over denounced Trump's inhumane and disgraceful immigration policies. Bishop Budde even pleaded face-to-face with Trump to show mercy on immigrant families.
In response to these courageous, prophetic voices, Vice President J.D. #Vance disputed the very definition of #Christian love in order to serve his anti-immigrant, #Christofascist agenda. Speaking with CBS and Fox News, Vance attacked the #Catholic #Church for "not being a good partner" on immigration and even falsely implied that they were only providing aid to get government funding. Then he wrongly claimed that Christians should rank our love for others in a way that deprioritizes non-Americans:
"You love your family, and then you love your neighbor, and then you love your community, and then you love your fellow citizens... and then, after that, you can focus on and prioritize the rest of the world. A lot of the far left has completely inverted that."
Friend, this is a deliberate distortion of the Gospel and an attempt to discredit those of us who advocate for welcoming immigrants because of our Christian faith. We must all stand together and proclaim that Christ's love is for all people no matter where they come from.
[ADD YOUR NAME] J.D.Vance does not speak for us
Donald Trump is threatening to begin his second presidency with a new round of gratuitous violence targeting undocumented families.
In 2017-2018, people around the US blockaded airports, freeways, and ICE facilities. There were school walkouts, demonstrations, and barricades. By fighting back ambitiously, people limited the scope of what ICE could do.
There are things we can do to resist. Let's stand up for each other. 🏴
#NewYork’s high court tossed out #Trump’s #appeal of the #GagOrder in his #FalsifiedBusinessRecords / #ElectionInterference / #HushMoney #criminal case Thurs.
The gag order, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s #sentencing, bars him from making public remarks about prosecutors involved in the case or their families.
In a brief order, the court said “no substantial #constitutional question is directly involved” & that it would dismiss Trump’s appeal.

RTB undermines the privacy and data rights of billions of people, and it undermines trust into digital technology at large.
RTB is also a national security threat, because of course the data sharing doesn't stop for political leaders, sensitive personnel, military staff and their families.
In our report published today we call for the European Commission, ENISA and EEAS to take action:

Florida public schools were defunded $2.5 BILLION this year to finance the purchase of lavish perks and private school tuition for wealthy families.
In FL the real #RonDeSantis educ agenda is to force families into costly private and private charter schools and minimize public school education. #YeahWoke is a dragon whistle. #Florida #DeSantisdestroysFL
