Human beings deserve human rights. All of them. Even ones whose governments and/or representative bodies commit atrocities. Even ones who--yes-- commit atrocities themselves. You don't lose your right to human rights, ever. That's why they're called inalienable human rights.

God of blessing & woe, disturbing the deadly order of the world: give us faith tested in poverty, hunger for what truly satisfies, eyes softened by tears & hearts ready to laugh at what is false & pompous that we might protect the dignity of all people; thru Jesus, who turns the world upside down.

I also remind myself regularly that while I "care" about many things, I cannot do all of the things. It's a big reason I am anti yelling at people who become newly engaged in something that I care about. They are probably like me in caring about a lot but only being able to act on a few things.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Never forget who lived, thrived. We know their playbook. We can beat them. To honor the memory of everyone who deserved better then, to honor the future of everyone who deserves the best now. Solidarity is the only way home. Collective liberation or bust, friends.

We knew they would take every opportunity to establish fetal personhood, and this is the first. An executive order attacking trans and nonbinary people is also an attack against pregnant people.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

"If you believe that industry, on its own, will clean its toxic waste, and never poison the ground, water, and air—basic drivers of our health—you should eliminate the EPA of course. But most of us would agree that a more commonsense approach is to make improvements, not chaos." @busph.bsky.social

Me da una rabia más allá de las palabras tener que compartir esto. No quiero ver ni a una familia (más) separada, ninguna persona (más) maltratada ni deportada, ni forzada a vivir en miedo. Pero hay personas malvadas que van a llevar a cabo un pecado imperdonable contra la humanidad en los EEUU. 😩
