Within Christianity there is a rich, prophetic tradition of civil disobedience and resistance to empire. For hundreds of years we’ve been refusing to bow down to narcissistic tyrants like Trump. He is not the first King to build a golden statue of himself and towers with his name branded on them.

The 1875 Civil Rights Act was declared unconstitutional in 1883 under the pretext that the 14th amendment applied to states not individuals. Then the SC moved to legalize segregation in 1896 in Plessy.

Good morning, beloved. It’s not what you do that makes you worthy of love. You’re worthy of love because of who you are. You’re worthy of love just because you are. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

How does a system that claims to be part of the kingdom of God and obedient to God become toxic? I am reposting an article written a few years ago that is still timely to this tragic reality in the church. www.dianelangberg.com/2020/12/when...

I owe the television part of my career to @joyannreid.bsky.social, as do so many other Black voices y'all never would have heard of if not for her. And that's why she's gone. They can treat black folks as interchangeable, but everybody Black knows that Joy was indispensable.

Human beings deserve human rights. All of them. Even ones whose governments and/or representative bodies commit atrocities. Even ones who--yes-- commit atrocities themselves. You don't lose your right to human rights, ever. That's why they're called inalienable human rights.

Check out this list with over 1300 names. ⬇️ Many of the names are ones I immediately recognize. Why? Because I've been following sexual abuse & coverup stories in the Southern Baptist Convention and white evangelicalism for so very long.

Black history is not separate history—it is the foundation of America’s story. We honor those who paved the way and those still fighting for justice.

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

Systemic abuse occurs when a system, such as a family, a government entity, a school, a church or religious organization, a political group, or a social service organization, enables the abuse of the people it purports to protect.

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Today is the Day of Remembrance. Eighty-three years ago today, FDR signed Executive Order 9066. It gave military authorities the power to create “military exclusion zones” from which any class of citizens could be removed.

All you gain when you thwart another’s flourishing is toxicity and control. But when you let people be who they are, they have space to blossom into beautiful beings who nurture endless possibilities in our world. Let our trans kin be and let us delight in their being.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

This is your reminder that people catfishing fundamentalists is a pasttime as old as fundamentalism. Fake tradwives. Fake Muslim jihadists. Fake former-Satanists. Fake Holocaust survivors. Sometimes they even become presidents of private Baptist universities after they’ve been outed as frauds.
