Thank you so much from the depths of my heart. This fight is not for those that look different skin color or whatever this administration wants to shove down your throat. It’s not it’s about THEM. It’s about Trump what he wants to do to all of us and the name of Protecting you from criminals like me who are you? Is a United States citizen who has served our country and is proud to be a Roman Catholic.
Our voices cannot go silent, nor can the hope inside of her soul and in her heart
Look at my neighbors when I’m walking with my dogs in the morning some of them are to the point where they’re hiding and now they are behind closed doors locked with cameras . My neighborhood has changed in the last six years covering the second term of the Trump administration. It has gotten worse. He made so many promises even to those in the breadbasket which are predominantly Republicans. He’s stepping on them. They’re filing bankruptcy. These are farmers. These are agriculture. This was our once proud bread basket of this United States that provided food for us! AND THE WORLD
And what is this administration done destroy everything that we hold near and dare to our hearts IF YOU DON’T THINK I SPEAK THE TRUTH LOOK AT YOUR PRICE OF FOOD, GASOLINE, COME THE FIRST OF THE YEAR BBB BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL. Which is not
THE COST FOR MEDICAL CARE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY GO UP TO THE POINT WHERE WE CAN’T AFFORD IT
Meantime, he speaks of a ballroom destroyed the rose garden. Has destroyed everything.
MEANTIME, MY MAGA FRIENDS , STATED TO ME WHILE WE WERE WALKING THIS MORNING
‘ Well they said it was going to hurt a lot more’.
That’s when I turned around and looked at him, how much more does it have to hurt you can’t work anymore. You’re getting food stamps. You have no money to pay bills. You can’t even make the mortgage payment. SO HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU WANT IT TO HURT YOU’RE LOSING YOUR HOME?
He just looked at me didn’t say a word I TOLD MY FRIEND JUST LET THAT SINK IN WHAT YOU JUST TOLD ME
HOW MUCH MORE IS IT GOING TO HURT? BEFORE YOU SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
That I departed. It was the end of our walk. I wished him a good day. It would see him in the morning God willing. . .
WHEN DID PAIN BECOME THE NORM?
WHEN DID you Stop TRUSTING YOUR NEIGHBOR?
WHEN WILL YOU SAY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?
I ASK YOU TO PRAY.
PRAY THAT THIS EVIL PERSON GOES AWAY
THAT WE COME BACK TO REALITY .
TO THE COUNTRY THAT THE WHOLE WORLD LOOKED UP TO..
As a Protestant choirmaster and American historian, I stand firmly with Fr. Pfleger and Pope Leo. Trump is the problem. Clean up the White House (Parable of the speck in your brother's eye and the log in your own), Mr.Trump before even considering sending troops and your ICE thugs to cities where they have neither right nor reason to go !!!
Fr. Pfleger’s gang ministry in Chicago is akin to Fr. Boyle, SJ’s work in LA. Ministries that give hope and a way out of violence. Ministries much needed everywhere.
Fr. Pfleger chose to call out and name the violence coming from the White House that’s creating the very situation the White House uses to justify its illegal and escalating use of ICE and the military. The real problem, the real terrifying violence is the White House and its sick people carrying out this violence in the name of the American people.
Fr. Pfleger is a great leader. Helping the least of these as the church preaches which is the truth in the bible! Listening to those without a voice. Giving communities an apportunity to grow & thrive where other wise they've been suppressed & ignored. This is what we need more of all over the country! This is what America is supposed to be about. Neighbors Helping, loving, & seeing eachother!
We all need to stand up, speak up, March in protests, bridge brigades, etc. Don't give up on our freedoms. Over power the regime's lies with truth & facts. We can't surrender our country to this fascist, autocratic, Narcissistic, criminal, regime. When we get through this we can rebuild a more fair & just America for all people. Please remember to resist with your dollars. Don't feed corporations if any kind!
Thank you for sharing this. I pray that all faith leaders and faithful will be as courageous as Fr. Pfleger. And all will hear Pope Leo’s words. It is so painful to see the Trump Administration creating chaos, division and hate towards anyone that doesn’t agree with them.
I look forward to reading your substack. It gives me hope. 🙏
ICE Agents are doing their jobs. They were hired to remove and deport illegal aliens, i.e., foreign nationals who are in the USA in violation of our immigration laws. There is nothing inhumane about this. Why don't priests and bishops do their jobs and evangelize instead of engaging in left-wing, Liberation Theology political theater? Pope Leo has no political nor moral jurisdiction to encourage the destruction of US society through illegal immigration.
Enjoy it as 75 million U.S. citizens lose health care. Tens of millions losing food assistance. Prices out of control. Employment down, business closures rising. So much winning ....
You’re lying Yolanda a lot of these are United States citizens. .
You just choose not to open . . The day will come when they will knock on your door.
What will you say nothing again?
The only ones that are in violation is this current administration with the President of the United States? . Have you not been following what he’s been doing and how many times he’s gone against Supreme Court justice orders, and all the judges involved even in lower courts.
You're exaggerating. The vast majority are illegal aliens who have no business being here. Judges in lower courts do not have jurisdiction over the President. The SC has been siding with Trump on this issue. If you're getting your news from Legacy Media (ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, WAPO, NYT) you're misinformed.
I think you better go check your information. .. you’re following all owned by Media l moguls under this Trump administration. Matter of fact, your list of Media legacy is all owned by Trump’s own people. Yolanda, you’re definitely misinformed. And I will call it for what it is. Trumper
If anyone else was expecting this publication to be unbiased coverage of Pope Leo, the following is from Christopher Hale's profile on X: " ’20 Democratic nominee for US Congress. DNC Delegate. Obama-Biden White House & campaign alum. Former nonprofit exec. "

“I imagine that Pope Leo is incredibly proud of his brother priest for defending their shared hometown from President Trump.”
You know he is!
After all, Pope Leo is still Father Bob. He knows who we are, and he cares about us — deeply.
As a Protestant choirmaster and American historian, I stand firmly with Fr. Pfleger and Pope Leo. Trump is the problem. Clean up the White House (Parable of the speck in your brother's eye and the log in your own), Mr.Trump before even considering sending troops and your ICE thugs to cities where they have neither right nor reason to go !!!
God bless Pope Leo and Fr. Pfleger !!!

now we see a true christian in action…

I cant stand Pfegers hotdogging, but there is an aspiring dictator in the White House.

Could you stay on topic? I was discussing illegal immigration.
