Cruelty and hatred and coagulating in, over, and around Washington D.C. today. We already see institutions and purported leaders folding, compromising and collaborating. I want to remind us that there is a virtue beyond hope for resisting despair. open.substack.com/pub/billieis...

One meaningful thing you can do right now is support Indigenous artists and remember that Indigenous peoples everywhere have experienced several apocalypses. And then remind yourself that we owe it to them, as well as to ourselves and our children, to keep going, keep fighting, keep creating.

What does the Bible say to people living under tyranny and oppression? Peacemaking, love, and faithfulness are anything but passive. Hebrews 10-12 offers the needed encouragement to maintain that faithfulness. #litbible www.litbible.net/articles/fai...

Lamentations 1:1 CEB #wordsforthispresentage Oh, no! She sits alone, the city that was once full of people. Once great among nations, she has become like a widow. Once a queen over provinces, she has become a slave.
