My parents grew up in fundamentalism, went to Wheaton College, grew us up in evangelicalism. And they’ve always been on a journey with their faith. Next month my boomer mom leads 36 people to learn about Wilmington’s coup. My dad is a member of the ACLU. Our older people can and do change.

My son Elijah died from pediatric brain cancer in 2017, right after I met Obama at the WH and he pledged to support the cancer moonshot. These evil, soulless people are ok with kids dying from cancer, and they deserve to be haunted until the end of their days. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

That's not organizing. It's not building anything. Those people aren't offering you anything.

Unbelievably excited that @shaneburley.bsky.social and @benlorber8.bsky.social will be on our next mass call for Mennonite Action. Safety through Solidarity is an essential read in confronting antisemitism through community and organizing. You should read it, too! bookshop.org/p/books/safe...
