Congress has passed President Trump Sweeping budget bill, Turning to the weakest people of our country. In these halls of power, where some people locate their roots on the ground under their feet, the descendants of immigrants now plot Exile The most recent generation of arrival.
The floor of the hypocrisy capital is thicker as a lining. To reduce the gaval against those walking against those who have trodled once by their ancestors, spitting on legends mentioned around family tables – stories of difficulty, crossing and hope. This is also a sin.
Do not make any mistake: This budget does not just “cut cost”. This is bad. Speaking clearly, there will be there Children who are hungry, men and women die For the desire of the Medicid. There will be elders whose last day is spent in unnecessary pain, Denied the dignity of the medicineThere will be immigrants, drawn by the same dream that woo the predispositions that disappear in the gear of a detention machine – some forever, as Deaths grow Profit and profitable immigrants in jails.
Congress members can grow every morning to rituals of American citizen religion – before the flag prayer, anthem, prayer – but condemn the core creed. The coven was never with billionaires or defense contractors, but with it “Tired, poor, sustained to breathe.” Our representatives have forgotten the sharp, difficult words of Jesus, which Matthew 25 Warned: “You have done at least of these, you have done to me.” Those who hungry, sick, ignore captivity, they called goats, fit for fire.
Our MPs have lost contact with both conscience and components. They write budgets for donors and dynasties, not neighbors. The promises of the campaign have become jokes by whispering on the corporate table, the oath of the office easily as yesterday’s headlines. A crop of elected officers now acts as courtiers, not as servants; They demand that we eat cakes and call it “shared sacrifice”.
This is not the always politics. It is also not a disintegration of ordinary politics. This is a collective betrayal – a sacrifice of weak on the altar of greed.
But the ladlers of history have not been closed yet. The fate of our country is not in the hands of politicians alone. The time of mourning should become a time of action.
We, people, are demanding more than empty speeches. We are interrupting the rituals of cruelty with religious leaders and people of faith by filling the streets. in Los Angeles And Newark, NJ, Dlani HallThrowing the city hall, around the offices of power with fierce compassion, as we did with hundreds of religious leaders Pentecost action in Capital HillLove for their neighboring ring compared to division drums. Feed the hungry, shelter the stranger, take care of the sick – not as charity, but as solidarity. We are unimaginable for injustice.
For every member of Congress: You are not helpless pawns. Your vote is not just a mark on paper – this is a remedy of your soul. Remember your own ancestors; Remember your discretion; Remember the eyes of history and at least of these gaze.
If you remain like this, do not say that you were not warned. Remember the nation: There is silence, complication, Karuna is a rebellion.
