Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

If this ambush of President Zelensky was planned, it makes the behavior of Trump and Vance even more disgraceful. What democratic ally can ever trust a single word uttered by these despicable men who spit in the face of every American who fought and died to save our democratic nation?

Spineless Trump sycophant and Putin apologist Marco Rubio terminated U.S. support for restoring Ukraine's energy grid moments after President Zelenskyy was kicked out of the White House. Shameless. Despicable. Cowardly.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

“In the royal MAGA court, “Christian” isn’t a term that describes someone who is a follower of Jesus or a member of a church. It is a privileged, protected status awarded by the Great Leader to politically useful religious people…”

Because my #ministry is outside the walls of the church I don’t often get the chance to #preach. I did today at SMU Perkins on the topic of loving the #enemy and turning the other cheek in a sermon titled #RighteousAnger #Resistance and #Rest #Baptist #justice youtu.be/CwCleOSPNY4?...

NATIONAL ARCHIVES UNDER ASSAULT: They’re coming for our history. The US archivist & staff resigned after Trump officials pushed to replace them w/loyalists. Not just records you’d expect—slave records, immigration records, Native American treaties—all at risk. Will they rewrite or destroy history?

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

"Shadow cabinets" are well established in UK and elsewhere. Main challenge for Dems is figuring out who would be the shadow ministers/Cabinet Secretaries. But it's a necessary step.

Infant mortality increased along with births in most U.S. states with abortion bans in the first 18 months after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, according to new research. Babies who were Black, lived in Southern states or had fetal birth defects died at the highest rates.

A few doctrines I can't reconcile with the gospel of Jesus Christ: 1) Hell as eternal conscious torment. 2) Jesus' death as penal substitution. 3) Women as subordinate to men. 4) Nations as Christian, demanding our allegiance. 5) Any race as inferior, requiring segregation.

I've been writing about the Right's "Patriotic Education" for years. In 2020 & '21, I argued that even as Trump lost he was laying the foundation for its broader implementation. Now, today, here we are. Here's a brief history of the erasure of history. slowcivilwar.substack.com/p/patriotic-...

Preachers, the closer you are to the seat of government power, the more responsibility you have to call out sin and unrighteous government - especially among those who have given you that access and treat you as an ally. Follow Christ, not them.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.
