Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

I just heard it was pancreatic cancer. That is how my mother died. At the end, the morphine wasn't helping and she had lost so much weight she looked like she had been in a concentration camp and I did pray for her to pass and be out of her pain. I'm going to need a minute.

Merciful God. I was fasting from TV this past 10 days. How awful. And at the same time, cancer is so hard on a body that I am sure it was a measure of peace.

While I was away I was not consciously but fully fasting from TV and media. I had not seen any for almost 2 weeks. I am grateful that the first media I saw was the release of Israeli hostages and the Palestinian deities who had so often then captured Without warrants or legal status.

“It is the will of God that liberation comes to all held in captivity.

…that those unjustly or justly incarcerated be set free.

…that all who mourn, be they children, women, men, non-binary persons, trans folk, be comforted.

Liberation is the will of God.
Restoration is the will of God.”

The biggest mistake people make is confusing trek and star wars, star trek is about peoples of various species getting their shit together striving for a better tomorrow, star wars is much darker IMHO. There is a criminal underworld in trek, but it's much less emphasized.

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Having a lovely time at Saint Augustine 🕯️Episcopal, Phoenix. It's a very catholic, heavily Benedictine culture which I love. Join us for the 1030 service which I will be preaching a necessarily political sermon about poverty, prison and oppression. www.staugustinetempe.org

We have over 16 centuries worth of historical data on Christians building/aligning with empires and doing awful things to each other and others.

Stop insisting that bad actors are not “real” Christians.

Humbly sit with the fact that many real Christians do not follow Jesus. 1/6

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
