Indeed

The chosen Fascist Face of what was the Republican Party.

Pete Buttigieg: “Even the greatest country, if it loses the rule of law, will not have much left.” REPOST if you stand with Pete Buttigieg!

“In God’s kingdom, immigrants and refugees, transgender people, the poor and the marginalized are not at the edges fearful and alone. They are at the center of the Gospel story.” - Episcopal Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe. ⚓️ #episcopalchurch #jesus #christianity #lgbt

At some point I’ll have to write a series on what I consider perfect films. Chief among them is Raiders of the Lost Ark. It. Is. Flawless.

John Fetterman announces he will be voting NO on Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.

Despite anti-DEI campaigns, this Black History Month (and always) we will be celebrating the Black queer people who have made this world more equitable for ALL OF US.

Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers. They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.

Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour: “It has become ever more apparent that, to our president the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals, the rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain."

Trump presided over today's Nat'l Prayer Breakfast in the Capitol of the new Christian state of Gilead. He insulted Dems, immigrants & trans people, claimed God guides his every word and every step, & then announced a task force to combat "anti-Christian bias." As if... www.au.org/the-latest/p...

Trump will decide someone is a criminal (Elon will manufacture something from the data he's stealing), ship them off and they will disappear. No accountability in foreign prisons.

If things keep going like this, come Easter the only thing that will be dipped in pastel colored paints and hidden in the yard for kids to find are boiled potatoes. Hey Donald, you promised to lower grocery prices on day 1. What happened?

‘Endorsement of ethnic cleansing’ Donald Trump’s call for the US to “take over” and “own” Gaza during news conference with Israeli PM Netanyahu prompts condemnations and forceful rejections of the proposal aje.io/l57bot

@unitedwedream.org is mobilizing volunteers to hosting Know Your Rights trainings across the country. Learn more and get involved by joining their orientation call Thursday at 7pm. Join in. Throw a wrench in the deportation machine.

Trump doesn’t remotely have the legal or practical authority to seize Gaza, expel its Palestinian inhabitants, spend billions to develop a Club Med resort, and mug Hamas. He’s drunk with belief in his own unchecked power. Don’t treat this as an actual idea. The words of a dictator.

Pastor pushed out at liberal church in Charlotte, North Carolina after complaints about focus on racial justice. "Ben has been given every chance to change his words & actions to appeal to a broader audience," #Religion #NC www.wfae.org/united-state...

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

Best post of the day. You win sir.

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Honest strategic question: When do we hit the streets? When will non violent resistance to stop what is happening become an immediate need and our most potent weapon? Or do people believe that legal actions and maybe the dems might be able to stop Musk and the trump vance group? Thoughts?

There’s an outbreak of Ebola in Uganda. There’s an outbreak of Marburg’s disease in Tanzania. Thousand of American diplomats leaving their posts abruptly. We just look so weak and a bit nuts. Foreign policy is hard, but this is just a very big early blunder.

Around 40% of women will be diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. This World Cancer Day, we remember the mothers, sisters, and daughters who lost their lives to this deadly disease. We are committed to advocating for cancer prevention, research, and care.

Those computer minions of President fELON should be immediately arrested and sent to prison for the rest of their lives.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

How many soldiers who went to war for the Confederacy were too poor to even think of owning slaves, but still gave their lives for the cause, because rich people convinced them they should? Sound familiar?

Facts.

Are you against Kennedy's nomination? I absolutely am. Tell your Senators to oppose him too:

Yikes

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans. And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump. It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other. Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Convo with my friend from Hungary tonight who left after Orban’s election. She said “your head will spin with all the wild stuff they try to pull, new things every day, but don’t take your eyes off the money. It’s all about the money, and what they’re stealing, and for whom.”

Just saying.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love. I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”

I do not feel safe under a Trump presidency.

More of this please

From Week 4 of “Awakened.” Following Jesus isn’t about saying the right words, it’s about doing the right thing. Get your copy: a.co/d/jehvv4U (link in LinkTree)

I know mainline Christian institutions get a lot of grief, but when I graduated college, the Methodist chaplain personally handed each graduating senior a copy of the Bible, and if that's not evangelism, what is? Who knows what those copies have accomplished over these many years? Still have mine.
