I have a specific playlist I've labeled "old faves" so that if I notice I'm getting tired of a song I retire it there for a bit.

Every time I see a video of someone standing up to ICE it has been women. Women are the ones stepping up to PROTECT those around them. And it makes me think about how evangelicals always claim it is men who do the Protecting. All that evangelical men protect is themselves and power.

a thin white woman in head to toe lululemon screaming at these thugs makes me think ICE has jumped the shark

This is just wild.

In my own personal life, I'm trying to make an effort to follow as many females as possible and only follow a male voice if they are actually connected to me and likely to hear my voice.

I really enjoyed this reading. I love that final thought: that non-facts lead us to truth. I also really found it interesting that she blamed capitalism for a lack of use of imagination. What did you like about this?

President Trump on Friday ordered that all foreign assistance to South Africa be halted and said his administration would prioritize the resettling of white, "Afrikaner refugees" into the U.S. because of what he called actions by the country’s government that "racially disfavored landowners."

The richest man in the world—who has now installed unqualified loyalists throughout the US government—is getting much of his information from far-right sources who present a world in which “Western Civilization” is in an existential struggle against Black and brown invaders.

It's Safer in the Front

Faced with intensifying repression and state violence, there is an understandable inclination to seek safety by avoiding confrontation. But this is not always the most effective strategy.

Chicago, 2/8—anti-deportation protesters braved wintry weather for a rally followed by a march down 26th St. in La Villita. Activists credit a widespread Know Your Rights campaign for decreasing the number of encounters with ICE agents across the city and suburbs.

Because this is getting downplayed in some of the coverage, the racist staffer DOGE rehired isn’t a case of “stupid things he wrote years ago as a teen.” He posted about how we should “normalize Indian hate” IN SEPTEMBER.

I'm working my way through Ecclesiastes this year. Today as I was reading I was thinking about the Spirit of Wisdom mentioned in Isaiah 11. I know there are plenty of things to be pressed and stressed about, but I feel the Lord calling his children to fix our eyes on something greater.

"He is guilty; he has been found guilty by a jury of his peers. He will not be subject to a penalty because he has been elected president of the United States"

That is something but it isn't justice.

Sentencing Trump to an unconditional discharge means that yes, he can basically shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and get away with it

It means that-if you’re rich and powerful enough-you can get away with anything

It means the American justice system has utterly failed us

THAT’S what it means

Walked out of the gym today into the icy sunrise, feeling a bit "Olympic" (Cool Runnings ref). But I was also feeling a little bit defeated because I've been having trouble sticking to my calories.
Went home and created this to encourage myself and you, too!

Ecclesiastes 1:1-8

Well, here we go with the beginning of the book of Ecclesiastes. To begin with, I always like to remind myself that I’m not coming to gain knowledge for trivia sake. While there might be some interesting facts, that’s not the goal. (It probably was mine for a long time.) I’m also not here to find tips for living. I think a lot of people treat bible reading like a self-help book, and I’ve been there before.
