But I can’t imagine why the Dem establishment wouldn’t have jumped on the vision of passionate new voices who better rep the kinds of Americans they’ve been trying to understand for decades, except…welp, we also saw what happened when those brilliant Black & Brown women showed up & tried to save us

Today is the feast of St Andrew, one of the 12 disciples of Christ. According to his apocryphal legend, he was crucified on an X-shaped cross. As one of the disciples, Andrew was part of the catalogue of saints that missionaries brought to the Norse sphere from the 9th century onwards. (1/n)

The announcement of the Kingdom of God should be just as threatening to the imperial project of the United States as it was to the Roman Empire.

It’s 100% about gender. And since Christian Nationalists by and large have very patriarchal views of religion, family, and society theology is a man’s world to them.
and of course the whole thing smacks of gender

the state can abide by gutting part of the prison system after all, so long as it helps the state abduct and imprison even more people
NEW: Federal prison workers are jumping ship & heading to ICE for better pay + bonuses. Already BOP lost >1400 people this year, reversing all of 2024’s staffing gains. It’s an unintended consequence of Trump’s push for mass deportations

Many of the problems the agency is facing now are not new, but staff and prisoners fear an exodus of officers could make life behind bars even worse.

Without getting corporate money out of politics and enacting term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court I don’t anticipate the US political landscape getting much better.

I understand when people want a funeral to be hopeful and celebratory. They want to acknowledge the good in a person’s life. I believe a funeral should offer hope. It should express gratitude for the good in a person’s life. I also believe that it should offer space for grief and loss.

EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic.

Very tired of the mostly white perspective in this country that wants to put all things, particularly political things, on a binary. There are more than two sides. It’s not a line where center is best. And leftists are NOT the same at the Alt Right Christian Nationalists.

Given the way that various justice issues get affiliated with partisan politics in the US I understand why people get upset about politics in church, but here’s the thing, issues of human rights, social justice, and peacemaking are political and they of the upmost concern to Jesus.
