It is currently 4 degrees Fahrenheit in Minneapolis and both the current and former ministers of my Unitarian Universalist Church in Massachusetts are there to answer a call to clergy.

But what I’m seeing now has pushed me right over the edge.
FUCK ICE
This is not the America our grandparents fought for.
