Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦🗽<p>Friends: <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Refugees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Refugees</span></a> have been quite literally left out in the cold by the administration's cruel 1/24 order stopping any work on their behalf. These are people who were forced to leave their home country, then wait in another country while the US fully vetted them and processed their application, a process that could take two years or more. </p><p>Suddenly (in many cases, only days after their arrival) leaving families without food, shelter, language assistance, job counseling, or other support is an abomination and a betrayal of the highest order. </p><p>But you can help. Please consider a donation to the Refugee Program of the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Jewish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Jewish</span></a> Family &amp; Children Service, or to the refugee <a href="https://babka.social/tags/resettlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resettlement</span></a> agency of your choice (such as <a href="https://babka.social/tags/HIAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HIAS</span></a>). Thank you!</p><p>Please boost this message so that others are given the opportunity to show our new neighbors that Americans <em>can</em> be welcoming and generous.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/homeless" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeless</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/WelcomeTheStranger" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WelcomeTheStranger</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/asylum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>asylum</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hope</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/sanctuary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sanctuary</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://secure.qgiv.com/for/refugeeassistanceprogram?blm_aid=11944435" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">secure.qgiv.com/for/refugeeass</span><span class="invisible">istanceprogram?blm_aid=11944435</span></a></p>
Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦🗽<p>That's all without even mentioning the devastating effects on the dedicated resettlement professionals all over the country—working long hours for low pay—whose source of income is now in jeopardy. But worse, they are now required to sit and watch as the families (many with small children and elderly adults) they've been caring for are put in imminent danger of <a href="https://babka.social/tags/homelessness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homelessness</span></a> and <a href="https://babka.social/tags/foodInsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foodInsecurity</span></a>. </p><p>HOW TO HELP: call your representative in Congress and the Senate. Right now. Tell them that you cannot tolerate this cruelty. Then call your state's refugee coordinator's office and ask them to do what they can to support refugees in your state.</p><p>And again, please consider supporting <a href="https://babka.social/tags/HIAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HIAS</span></a> and your local <a href="https://babka.social/tags/refugee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>refugee</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/resettlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resettlement</span></a> agencies directly. <a href="https://hias.org/donate" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">hias.org/donate</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦🗽<p>OK well <a href="https://babka.social/tags/CNN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CNN</span></a> has the story, so I can talk about this now.</p><p>The administration has ordered all <a href="https://babka.social/tags/refugee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>refugee</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/resettlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resettlement</span></a> work in the country to stop immediately. A refugee family that arrived on Thursday and was placed into a hotel until longer term housing could be identified would today, Saturday, be homeless.</p><p>I remind everyone that refugees are <em>not</em> here "illegally". They've gone through a years-long process of application and vetting that resulted in their admittance to this country. As part of that process, the US agrees to provide support and assistance when they first arrive—help that has now been prematurely terminated, in violation of our commitments.</p><p>Expect this cruel and illegal action to be challenged in court as early as Monday. Please support <a href="https://babka.social/tags/HIAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HIAS</span></a> or your local resettlement agency so they can continue their critically important work.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/CBP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CBP</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/StateDept" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StateDept</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Afghanistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Afghanistan</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://babka.social/tags/foreignaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>foreignaid</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/24/politics/refugee-benefits-afghans-halt-trump-administration" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/01/24/pol</span><span class="invisible">itics/refugee-benefits-afghans-halt-trump-administration</span></a></p>

Greg Johnson<p>Theodore Dwight Weld helped start Lane Seminary. In this work, he tries to make the case that slavery had so corrupted a culture that it spilled out into hate and violence in all directions. Thus, in an antislavery tract, he commiserates with the Mormon victims of harassment and murder in Missouri. </p><p>How can you re-evaluate or tweak your primary causes based on the character of the people associated with it? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/christian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>christian</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rootedinchrist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rootedinchrist</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/racialcapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racialcapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nicequotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nicequotes</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/resettlement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>resettlement</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/deathpenalty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deathpenalty</span></a></p>
