Want to know the REAL reason for the ICE RAID on that particular food processing plant in Mississippi? And why it was carried out for maximum cruelty effect?
The plant owner was abusing the workers & not paying them. The workers sued & won.

Allegations of labor abuses dogged Mississippi plant years before immigration raids, w/company threatening deportation for those who complained.
Workers sued & after 8-year court battle, company settled last year, agreeing to pay $3.75M, etc. /2
If there's any good that came out of the appalling incident with #CovingtonCatholic teens, it's that more of us know this man's name, Nathan Phillips, and his life-long positive impact.
He is deserving of our thanks & respect... not taunts & ridicule.
With the additional videos circulating, showing how the incident started, it appears that Nathan Phillips stepped in and diffused what could have been a MUCH worse situation. This could have ended badly had he not.

#Trump admin, #GOP: Please stop lying. We have the receipts.
Trump cult: Please stop citing Christian values as you support this cruelty. You make a mockery of the religion you claim to fervently follow. You know dang well this isn't how Jesus wanted us to treat each other.
As one who attended Catholic grade school all 6 years, I had the Bible and Jesus' words drilled into my brain. What the zealot "Christians" are espousing as religious values on people who are "different" than you - immigrants, LGBTQ, etc. - is a far departure from The Word.

An uncomfortable topic in need of discussion: #olderdrivers (U.S., too) - for their safety as well as ours.
The concern for loss of personal freedom is important, but what about the potential for loss of life - theirs as well as others? /1 #PrincePhilip nia.nih.gov/health/older-d…
As one who was in a bad car accident last year caused by a 90+ year old man who suddenly made a left turn into oncoming traffic, I know firsthand of the potential consequences.
With the transportation options available (Uber, Lyft, etc), is it worth the risk? /2 #olderdrivers

Breathe it, receive it.
Believe,
and never leave it
Feel the breath of light
in love’s embrace.
Open up your soul
and Breathe the Grace.
