Matthew 25 in the Time of Musk and Trump

When I was hungry, you let the food that was meant to save my life rot in warehouses rather than send it to me.

When I was thirsty you stopped all aid for programs for water security and sanitation.

When I was a stranger, you flew me in chains to a concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay.

When I needed clothing and shelter, you told me I would be displaced from my land to create a real estate development for others.

When I was sick, you blocked the distribution of the medicine that was saving my life.

When I was in prison, you wanted to disappear me to a concentration camp in El Salvador.
