Ok here is the thing with action/praxis/protest/showing up: Sometimes you contribute by being a megaphone. Sometimes by being a wallet. Sometimes by being a physical body. Sometimes by being fuel or being relief. If you can’t be one thing at any given moment you can almost certainly be another.

One way you can do that? Wear a respirator. Whenever you’re in public, mask up. It may not seem radical but in the face of mask bans, ugly laws and unmitigated covid spread… it’s a strong show of resistance and solidarity.

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.

The amazing part isn’t just the wrong answer, but that the explanation it gives is accurate — and it simply doesn’t know that 27 is a smaller number than 32. Billions of dollars spent to make a black box machine that doesn’t know something elementary school kids know.

If you’re still masking - thank you. If you’re still trying to convince others to mask - thank you. If you understand the benefit of a well fitted respirator - you’re awesome. Masking isn’t just a way to safeguard one’s health. It’s an act of solidarity with disabled & marginalized communities.

This is disgusting. We are failing the most vulnerable. Those with the least agency. People who can’t protect themselves. No one deserves to get covid because they required emergency care. What’s worse they now have a confirmed covid case right beside pregnant & postpartum mothers (and babies) /1

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

“Jimmy Carter’s importance to faith and public life was reintroducing into the public square the principles that animated nineteenth-century evangelicals: concern for the poor, racial equality, peacemaking, human rights and equality for women.”

Rest in peace, Mr. President. Thank you, Jimmy Carter, for showing our nation and the entire world what compassion, service, and kindness can be.

This needs to stop. It needed to stop decades ago. Columbine, Sandy Hook, Parkland, Uvalde, Madison... generations of school shootings that should never have happened. This is our country's legacy. This is who we are, protecting guns instead of children. www.channel3000.com/news/five-de...
