Christian Nationalism has a body count.

Trump is gutting Christian ministries that serve the poor . . . while MAGA Christians cheer. And if you object to the human suffering they cause, then they accuse you of displaying "toxic empathy." No, really: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

I've been hungry for a clear story that comprehensively lays out the risks to government systems from DOGE. Here, @ibogost.bsky.social and @cwarzel.bsky.social speak to people with the right knowledge and provide a great, sense-making piece. Unfortunately, the sense that is made is... scary sense:

Very proud of Paralyzed Veterans of America for their strong stand on Trump’s disgusting comments today. pva.org/news-and-med...

Deadly serious point from Sen. Peters: You complain about the lowering of standards, but how do we defend if we're lowering the standard for SECDEF? You'd never be hired as a CEO at even a medium sized company.

I need a grant writer for a proposal. Do you know one?

Can we all agree that the NFL needs more holding and alignment penalties?

*NERD RAGE!!!* I inadvertently forgot to go the #wordle yesterday, breaking what had become a nice streak. Prayers needed.

Received this Ecard from a brother behind bars. He has been locked up nearly half of his life, and does not expect to ever leave, but he has peace with God and with his circumstances. I hope you experience the power of thankfulness this #Thanksgiving Day.

Introducing the newest member of the Jones Family. We still haven’t come up with the right name. Suggestions being taken. #dogs

All my life I heard that Jesus came to give us rest and take away our guilt. Then I saw churches using guilt to wear people out. My prayer was that we would be a church like Jesus. riveroakstulsa.com/media/series...

Has there been a serious blue sky discussion about why Democrats lost voters in every major demographic? One that I just missed? Or are we just going to keep complaining about how awful Donald Trump is?
