I preach the gospel of God's radical love and social justice, comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable. In my spare time I'm a citizen scientist, genealogist, sci-fi nerd, wife, and stepmom.

This is an excellent real-time tracker of which specific Project 2025 objectives have been accomplished by this administration, and which are still on their "to-do" list. #Project2025

Today at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, PA. #WomensMarch #InternationalWomensDay #Resist

💙 Thanks to all who attended the National Call for Repentance & Truth Telling. We heard from leaders including Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia Thompson (UCC General Minister & President) and Rev. Amanda Hendler Voss (Minister at First UCC DC) who called upon our country to repent for ongoing injustices.

The President just stated that it is "illegal" to protest the war in Gaza, protestors will be arrested, and colleges allowing protests will have their funding cut. #FirstAmendment #FreePalestine #GazaWar

This is horrific. German citizen, Jessica Brösche, has been detained by ICE since January 25th (including in solitary confinement) when she LEGALLY entered the U.S. on a tourist visa while on vacation.

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

The Gospel isn't so much about personal salvation - making sure an individual goes to heaven, as it is about transforming society into God's kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven." Our faith is the hard work of upending oppressive systems in order to save our neighbors.

The US Army Chorus performed "Do You Hear the People Sing" from Les Misérables at the White House's Governors Ball! 🤣

El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

Yesterday the Justice Department has deleted a database tracking federal police misconduct.

In the first week of halted U.S. aid, 40 newborns in Uganda contracted H.I.V. *PER DAY* because there was no funding for treatments. But hey - Elon Musk says we saved a few dollars.

Philadelphia showed up yesterday (2/17/2025). But where was the media coverage? #ThePeopleDemandChange #NotMyPresidentsDay #BuildTheResistance

Welcome to the Bluesky account for Stand Up for Science 2025! Keep an eye on this space for updates, event information, and ways to get involved. We can't wait to see everyone #standupforscience2025 on March 7th, both in DC and locations nationwide! #scienceforall #sciencenotsilence

The only anti-Christian bias I'm seeing is House Resolution 59, DOGE's attack on Lutheran Community Services, and the President's executive order making churches no longer "sensitive locations" (now allows our congregations to be raided by the Department of Homeland Security and ICE).

If you feel horrified watching the American President casually pitch the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza, you're not crazy or overreacting. That should horrify anyone of conscience.
