Every child deserves access to healthy, nutritious meals—but extreme anti-public education politicians are threatening to cut vital programs like Head Start and universal school meals. These cuts would hurt our most vulnerable students. 📢 Text ACTION to 48744 and tell Congress to do what’s right.

Through snow and cold, we stood strong—because when our union comes together in solidarity, we win for working people. Our union is fighting and winning for Montana educators, public employees, and the communities we serve!

A really good episode. The Conservative White Evangelical purity culture has done so much damage to women, girls, and men in the church. And it isn't based on sound biblical interpretation, it takes verses out of context, over simplifies, and is all about money. open.spotify.com/episode/4iHl...

So infuriating. Welcome to the Second Gilded Age. A time when robber barons rule, corruption spreads, the poor get poorer, safety declines, workers suffer, anti immigration politics rises, the law protects defacto segregation in the New Jim Crow,l. utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/02/14/d...

Despite overwhelming public opposition, the senate committee passed the anti-union anti-working class public workers bill. Now it is down to the senate committee in Utah and that is the last chance for it to be stopped. If you're in Utah, please call, text or email your Senator. No, on HB 267.

Please contact Utah senators to encourage a no vote on hb267. It is intensely anti-teacher anti-firefighter anti-bus driver, anti-janitor, anti-cop and anti any other public service Union member

Loved this episode of TBFNP with rapper Propaganda (Prop). His insights into the "Christian" music INDUSTRY (emphasis purposefully placed) felt so validating from my own experience while also being very educational. open.spotify.com/episode/0Iy2...

A really interesting breakdown in how protestantisms theology differs from Orthodox theology when it comes to the ideas of penal substitution and an angry wrathful God, as well as a perspective on tradition community + the Bible open.spotify.com/episode/4NeV...

I felt seen and well represented through Pete's discussion of a progressive or creative Christianity contrasted with a fundamentalist or preservationist critique of folks like me. It brings complexity to the discussion and rejects oversimplifications. open.spotify.com/episode/1x5f...

Oops, missed this one and also found it very interesting. This looks at different ways to understand the gospels, how they were written, and how they can be understood from an academic perspective that goes beyond a conservative strict/total history lens: open.spotify.com/episode/1SfT...

Continuing from where I left off... Pete Enns on the topic of divine violence and how to understand it from the perspective of academics and not just denominational propaganda or a limited lens. Hope it helps. open.spotify.com/episode/72Mn...
