[Democracy Now] speak[s] with activist, civil rights attorney and ordained minister Nekima Levy Armstrong about her role in a protest at a St. Paul church on Sunday, where one of the pastors, David Easterwood, also leads a local ICE field office in the Twin Cities area. “I believe that if someone professes to represent the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to preach it, that they should not be allowing ICE agents to drag people out of their homes,” Levy Armstrong tells Democracy Now! She spoke from an undisclosed location after Trump officials vowed to investigate and possibly arrest the demonstrators.
Anyway, my fellow compadres, the lord Jesus. Jesus, I need to talk to you after this…
Remember folks, you can conduct an ICE raid in a church, but you can’t protest about it in a church.
Remember folks, with about $60 in cash purchases at your local military surplus store, you can cover your face and cosplay as a federal agent with friends and do whatever you can get away with
Just don’t claim to be a federal agent. That’s very explicitly illegal. You can dress up however you want otherwise.
Get that lawsuit money after the fact.
Protest at his church. Protest at his damn dentist. Give them no peace. They deserve none.
Anyone still attending this church with this piece of shit at the top deserves to be ridiculed as well
church whose pastor is a top ICE official
I am SHOCKED.

AMY GOODMAN: And I just want to ask you in the 10 seconds we have: Do you fear being arrested at any moment? NEKIMA LEVY ARMSTRONG: It is very possible that I will be. But I’m still standing firm on behalf of our democracy, and I’m not afraid of the Trump administration and their shenanigans. AMY GOODMAN: Nekima Levy Armstrong, Minneapolis-based civil rights attorney, founder of the Racial Justice Network, also ordained reverend and preacher.
Every week someone posts a video of some crazy white woman ranting about LGBT going to hell or some other nonsense in churches and no one goes and picks them up. I’m not really sure what the charge even is here.
The charge is that conservatives are butthurt Karens being Karens, as per usual.
The way the world works, in their view is that they can and do nearly anything they want, including storming the Capitol to overturn a free and fair election, violently beat on cops in the process and threatening the lives of the VP and people in Congress. That’s just “peaceful protest”.
Barge into one of their churches and mildly inconvenience them? That’s terrorism.
