From YVR (Vancouver) this week. The entire airport (excepting USA departures) was busy.

Inhumanity is sick to see. Somehow it is celebrated as virtuous by Christian Nationalists. A reminder of how unlike Jesus the movement is - a contemporary idolatry.

I try to avoid using the word “evil” in reference to others as it can contribute to us/them thinking. Seeing this, however, occasions a kind of disgust and disbelief that this is today. Brutality and inhumanity are features, not bugs of Christian Nationalism.

The warfare framing, à la Old Testament, is quite revealing of how they view themselves and their enemies: “The Hegseth text then continued:… Godspeed to our Warriors.’ Shortly after, Vice President J. D. Vance texted the group, ‘I will say a prayer for victory.’” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

One thing that can get lost in all this is that Jeff Goldberg knows much, much more about national security than the principals who were on that text chain.

At YVR picking up our son after New Zealand trip. Almost all of the airport is very busy. Walked through USA departures. Almost. Photo below of American departures. “Nobody’s going to America.” #elbowsup #trumpdidthat #evangelmerica

We now know that ultra-processed foods are killing us. Not real food. Ultra-processed speech (X, etc.) is deadly as well. And not real speech. youtu.be/sNMdRzK9Nj0?...

Holy shit, R’ Abraham Joshua Heschel, z”l, does not mince words in this 1963 speech. Racism “is worse than idolatry” and is “a treacherous denial of the existence of God.” “Any god who is mine but not yours, any god concerned with me but not with you, is an idol.”

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

More from “German Christians” supporting Hitler. Sound familiar?

From a “German Christian” pastor in support of Hitler. How can Christians support Trump?! How could Christians (as many or most in Germany did) support Hitler? This pastors’ words sound like many American evangelicals today.

Reminds one so much of the love of Jesus. These are Christian’s against Christ. Have to think that at least some of them know it.

Rescue the weak and deliver the needy. Christian Nationalism is not Christian. Thank you to André Gagné and to Katherine Stewart for important writing and work. This Trumpianity is a parasite on any real faith or regard for others. @profgagne.bsky.social @katherinestewart.bsky.social

The ease at which Trump became the Dear Leader for evangelicals shows how an expression of faith so marked by Us/Them thinking was rife for exploitation. Sorry to hear about the conferences, but grateful that you decided what you did.

No judgment. Just glad that The Guardian is worth at proofing then me. Or doesn’t even bother.

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Elon Musk, “I’ve never done anything harmful. I’ve only done productive things.” Don’t trust those who talk like this. Reminds me of evangelical men in evangelical churches referring to one another as “Men of Integrity”. And I say that as someone who was a pastor for decades. Blind guides.

Clarissa Ward - CNN in Kherson, Ukraine. Real courage, reporter, team and civilians there. Reveals “strength” of Putin and Trump as a hilarity.
