The greater the pain, the greater the destruction, the more ravaged a life is by disease or trauma—the greater the care and nurture that should result from the body of Christ.

We forget that anything done in the name of God that does not bear His character through and through is not of Him at all. In our forgetting, we are more loyal to the words of humans than to the commandments of God.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

@crimeanalyst.bsky.social Great interview-- thank you so much! youtu.be/DtX-kah5phQ?...

Trauma stories do not first come out with a beginning, middle, and end. They come out in broken pieces, disordered and perhaps unclear.

Trump’s lack of empathy — glaringly obvious in his 1st comments re the DC plane crash — should have disqualified him long ago for a serious position of l’ship in a healthy society.What do men who voted for him bc he’s “strong” have to say about this? We need a more expansive definition of strength!

So Russia will take Ukraine's land, and U.S. will take their mineral wealth. If only we had some historians, or, even, like a whole cable "history" channel to tell us whether there's ever been any other situations of two megalomaniac-led empires dividing up an Eastern European nation...

When God’s people worship separate and untouched by suffering, they are not worshiping the God of the Scriptures. There is nothing in the Scriptures to suggest that being complicit, neutral, or uncaring and deaf to the cries of humans is godly.

Jesus pursued the vulnerable, protected the little ones, and poured out compassion on the ‘least of these.’ Any dismissal of abuse, any baptizing of evil, any cover-up, or denial is nothing like Him.

To evade those who are suffering is to evade Him. To sit with those who are suffering is to sit with Him.

To be a predator is to be a deceiver. That means there are some in our midst who do not look like what they are, and just because we are unaware of any known cases does not mean we are safe. Protecting our children and ALL vulnerable ones should be part of the DNA of the church. @bozlaw.bsky.social

Never undermine the fact that a grown man or woman can be terrified and abused by someone with power.

When a body is so broken that it is entirely dependent on the care of others or a mind is basically gone, we are called to give dignity to what remains, for it still houses one created in the image of God.

We emphasize Christian ministry, numbers, gifting, and fame, easily confusing externals as a measure of success with God. We forget that holiness and integrity are the paths to God’s work.

The system of the church becomes a substitute for God Himself when our love and obedience to Jesus Christ are sacrificed to the work. We know this is true of any Christian system when they are ignoring, silencing, and discarding the trampled and traumatized.

When we use the word spiritual to describe abuse, we are talking about using that which is sacred—including God’s Word—to control, misuse, deceive, or damage a person created in His image. The pairing of those two words is diabolical.

Dear Leaders of the Free World, Fight him at every turn. Make his life miserable. Expose his ignorance and sociopathy. Oppose and condemn and marginalize him. The decent people of this nation are not with him. We stand with you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-world...

There is only one reason Trump pulled the security off Pompeo and Bolton…to put them in danger for “crossing him.” To send a message to anyone else who would oppose. Both have active death threats from Iran. All to intimidate. This is the opposite of a real man of God. This is evil

Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump’s release of thugs who beat up cops and smeared feces in the Capitol is a “redemption” story. Johnson’s use of religious language to justify fascism is disgusting.

When we hear justifications, excuses, blaming, or a focus on the sins of another, we can be sure we do not have true repentance.

All grievers do not grieve the same. As a comforter, understanding the different faces of grief is never a script that must be followed but a way of interpreting what you are seeing when someone grieves. It is important to remember there is not a set, right way to grieve.

If you’re upset by a woman prophetically speaking truth to power, allow me to introduce you to Jesus’ mom: “God has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. God has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Luke 1:52-53

When Christianity wraps itself in a flag, touting patriotism as a “return to greatness,” be assured, it is NOT the way of Christ.

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact- checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany. That was a Nazi salute.

Biden preemptively pardoned J6 police officers who were beaten and injured, to protect them against retribution from the insurrection leader because they dared to testify truthfully before Congress. Trump pardoned the thugs who beat them.

Helpful!

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

It all feels like a family with a genuinely abusive family member choosing to just carry on with the holiday traditions, hoping to create normalcy through sheer will and denial.

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

AOC: “We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration.” 🇺🇸

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Oops! Trump Took Credit for TikTok Ban Effort in 2023 Trump claimed he was "right" about banning the popular social media platform

We are flooded by words daily. We hear good words on social media and assume they are backed up by good character. The danger of good words without good deeds must be continually discerned.

Tonight, Joe Biden will give a speech touting his successes, and in many ways he did an admirable job. But he never left the alternate reality of the establishment, and protected “norms and institutions” instead of us. I wrote about it. Please subscribe. www.mind-war.com/p/bidens-alt...

It’s not difficult for anyone with a fourth grade education to see, simply by watching the video of his speech, and by reading the transcript of his words, that Trump incited the violence on #January6. www.amyhawk.com/post/the-pow... www.amyhawk.com/post/the-pow...

I can’t stop thinking about the officers that were at the capital 4 years ago. What they went through. The terror, the pain, the shock. The lasting effects mentally and physically of a violent riot incited by a liar. God be with them today and every day.

So let me get this straight. If you apply for a job at a grocery store, you have to undergo a background check. But, if you apply to be Director of National Intelligence, you don't? Got it.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

So true. 💯

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me. I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc
