The experience of Virginia, The Episcopal Church's largest domestic diocese, shows that the practical challenges of reparations work require more than a commitment to righting the wrongs of the past.

Virginia Episcopalians promised reparations. Progress has lagged.

(RNS) — 'I felt like we were kind of misled as a task force in terms of level (of) engagement', said one member of a reparations task force, of the diocese's efforts.

Yet, there will be grandkids who wake up today without a grandparent.

“Let not the needy, O LORD be forgotten, nor the hope of the poor be taken away.”

“That there be justice and peace on the earth, we pray to you, O LORD”

“Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

Over one hundred thousand dead Iraqi civilians. Hundreds of detained persons without a trial, innocent torture victims who will receive no justice. A trail of death and destruction. No obituary will be written about any of them.

When Jesus Christ prayed for the Romans who crucified Him on the cross, He said

“Father forgive them, for they know not what they do”.

Power has a strange and terrible way of distorting us in such a way that we internally justify every bit of humanity it peels off.

Can’t be a looks problem cuz you got that down and can’t be an intelligence problem cuz you’re a whiz. Maybe it’s just a “we’re not ready for someone as awesome as Sky” problem?

Newsom: They did not expect California. They did not expect all of you. They thought we were going to write an op-ed, have a candlelight vigil, maybe do a rally. They poked the bear and the bear is poking back

The key to shattering one’s pretentious myth that Obama is unpopular is to visit literally any household of a older Black woman.

There will be a picture of Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr. and Barack Obama

President Obama called Zohran Mamdani on Saturday — praising his campaign and offering to be a "sounding board" into the future.

Obama said he was invested in Mamdani's success beyond the election on Tuesday.

"Your campaign has been impressive to watch," Obama told Mamdani.

If by some miracle Cuomo won or makes it close, I don’t see any intelligent argument for how Zohran could have run a better campaign. His discipline, messaging and organizational leadership has been outstanding.

Talique R. Taylor @taliquertaylor.bsky.social · 22h

Given that he crapped the bed in the primary and his campaign has not changed at all, I don’t see why or how Cuomo even comes remotely close to winning. Republicans hate him for Covid and most Democrats hate him. Combine that with the general shift against Dem Party leadership and he’s toast

It's stewardship season, and I do budget stuff at church.

I need to say, this is simply not possible.
If you want government level service (and we do) you need professionalized systems and MONEY to fund them.

Charity is a supplement to taxes, not a replacement.

Indiana's Christian nationalist Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith says "it's not the government's job to feed people" and so tens of millions of people losing SNAP benefits because of the government shutdown represents "a great opportunity for the local church to step up."

The poll that came closest to predicting the primary had Zohran with a double digit 16 point lead

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 1d

Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

And I don't even believe that the Democrats should run as DSA'ers or Zohran Mamdani's or Bernie or AOC in all places. I'm in favor of a liberal/left coalition (historically its the only one that's advanced American liberalism and widened the social safety net) but running back the 1990s is foolhardy

On no planet do the Democrats simply do the Keir Starmer approach (meaningless victory with rapid right-wing lurches designed to appeal to the mythical "swing voter" and somehow make it work here when it's been a disaster for Labour in the UK!

This argument from Klein is total nonsense.

The swift destruction of the country by Trump and co. that we are witnessing right now is the result of NOT "growing the tent" in all places, of being highly selective and methodical in places you need to win while also centering your base support. They have done the opposite of what Klein wants! /2

It is even more insane and infuriating to suggest that the Democratic Party do this when the GOP ran on an explicitly far-right, nativist, and Christo-fascist campaign, fully embracing its most extreme elements, and managed to achieve a trifecta in the federal government. /1
