“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Central East Mission Area represents at Stark Pride. ❤️

This is good of him to say. However, it implies that homosexuality was just one of his sins as opposed to his orientation. I suppose I shouldn’t expect anything different. But imagine how many closeted Christians he could have helped if he chose to be brave.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

i've eaten a lot of dinners in my life but i'm not sure i've ever had supper. i think i'm too young to have ever eaten supper

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Trump is deploying the National Guard to LA on the day of the Pride parade. The soldiers must smack those naughty men and boys with their billy clubs. by Pete Hegseth, Mike Johnson, Mike Pence, Matt Schlapp, Tim Scott, Josh Hawley, Jack Posobeic, and Lindsey Graham

Without all those workers who stand outside Home Depot, their sales in CA will plummet. You’d think a guy who gives trump so much money would have some sway. 🤷🏻

Love that people are standing up to ICE (i.e. Proud Boys, etc). But how long before he uses it to justify martial law?

Seriously. Had I known it was Bruce’s last Wednesday, I definitely would have come out to wish him safe travels. He has taught me a lot about how to minister to those who differ from me. So safe travels little buddy. And good luck Ft. Wayne Lutherans. 🙏

It’s a serious inside-baseball post, but back when we MCed the Christian music festivals, The Newsboys were the absolute worst people to work with. And I am not the least bit surprised by their coverup. ALWAYS speak up to power! ✊

I have moments when I swear Paul Reubens faked his death and is doing a long bit.

Nostalgia in politics can work for more than one thing, it doesn't only have to be a guy saying "Don't you miss being racist" it could be a different guy saying "Remember when people had pensions"

Apropos of nothing, I’ll just say a leader who wants attention above all else yet changes their mind every five minutes ends up being ignored. Think it through, buddy. 🫡

[buried in my grave] finally, i’m a landowner

I wish that during a conversation when you ask a question you don’t really care about you could withdraw the question.

Providing helpful feedback to Home Depot.

They seem to have confused “despite” with “because.”

I’m going to start ending my sermons with “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

If this bill passes in the Senate, we’re going to need a MUCH bigger food pantry.

If I ever make another album, I think I’ll call it, “Alito and Thomas Dissent.”

Some of you are confusing 86 with “deep 6.”

We went and saw “Sinners” last night. You should go and do likewise.

This is like watching the Bills in a Super Bowl game. #LetEmKnow we were good in the regular season. 🤷‍♂️

Does Church Publishing have proofreaders anymore?

I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job

Apparently having words on your chest allows you to do anything.

i think it's good that we don't have free insulin because if we did then we wouldn't be able to afford to keep throwing fighter jets into the ocean

Today’s headlines make more sense if you take out “administration” and replace it with “regime.”

Was looking for something in the parish archives and had forgotten how awesome this resignation letter is. 💅🏻

There is an Overton Window problem in celebrating innocent people being released from unlawful detention.

This is the correct framing.

Here are two photos from church standing in the same spot. First from the 1970s, before the men’s group decided they needed to cut it down to add four more parking spaces. And then the view from the same spot today.

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

Huge bonus is that the Pope news stomps all over trump’s big trade deal announcement. He’s gonna be so pissed. 😂
