The US president just attacked a female bishop for saying Christian things in a Christian sermon, calling her a "so-called bishop", not "smart", and "not very good at her job."

And no one will blink an eye. It won't be a controversy or a big story. All normalized.

Welcome to the next 4 years.

Advocating for peace starts with not turning a blind eye on what's happening around. And turning a blind eye is exactly your idea of peace. What a grotesque, shameful misrepresentation of peace. Very unChristlike

Jan Kashmir Tan @jankashmirtan.bsky.social · Jan 13

Your idea of peace is that of complacency and subservience, and the prevalence of the status quo. Your idea of peace perpetuates societal injustice.

You turn a blind eye on the corruption of public coffers, on the grave abuse of human rights, on the systemic & social injustice which perpetuates social inequalities and inequities. Then you are not really for peace, which isn't, it was said, the absence of violence, but the presence of justice.

National rally for peace. For whom? For those in power. When you decide to hold that kind of rally amid growing calls for accountability over the reprehensible massive misuse of public funds, you are indeed calling for peace---the peace of mind of abusive n corrupt politicians like Sara Duterte.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.

Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

Liberation is not a request that you submit to your oppressor, it is a demand to be treated as a human being.

A Principal Skinner meme: above the image says "when people still haven't had enough of bourgeois electoral politics." Below that is Principal Skinner looking down and leaning to the left in his purple suit and orange tie against a background that shows the top of a building and the sky above it including some clouds. Below Skinner is captioned "Pathetic."
