I'm no one special. But I see so many people seeming to give up already. NO! NO NO NO! It's not over. As long as one person keeps the flame of freedom and love for neighbor alive, the powers that be HAVE NOT WON! Nemik's Manifesto, from Andor, is worth reading, and remembering:
*bumps John Ahn's book up to top of reading list *

Looking forward to these!
Excited to share the sessions that the "Exile (Forced Migrations) in Biblical Literature" unit has for you all this upcoming #aarsbl25 @sblsite.bsky.social!
This is awful. So sorry to hear, @leximcmenamin.com . This is a true loss.
if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this.

can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

Read this thread from Talia. Especially if you used to be evangelical. Stop with the black and white thinking and learn to see nuance
The way Westerners discuss conservatism and oppressed people in non-Western cultures is so utterly, irreparably broken.

I did not say "white", by the way. I'd have said "white" if I meant "white".

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”
Very true, but we also need to get them to understand that they need to get involved. I know too many people even now who think it doesn't affect them, or that don't want to know, or just aren't interested.
I agree with Dex to a point. Ableism IS a problem. Stupid is the wrong word. However, I do think the majority of my fellow citizens are WILLFULLY ignorant. The information is out there, can be simply explained, but they CHOOSE not to engage with it.
The number of people who responded to this with basically “no, my fellow Americans are stupid” is deeply concerning. Ableism runs deep in the left.
I want to gently push back on this: not being able to read complex writing is not the same as being a low information citizen. Many people can comprehend the topics involved just fine if they are presented in an accessible and understandable manner.
This. Exactly.
Seeing a lot of discourse around trans meds again.

I don't want anything to do with them.

If anyone is trying to gatekeep transness, you aren't welcome in any community I am a part of.

There is no magical threshold of "trans enough".
That's because they think the majority of poor people are white, and so the poor aren't "our own." White supremacy in another guise.
Conservative individualism in a nutshell: the same people who said we need mass deportation so we can take care of “our own” are cheering on the suspension of SNAP because now they don’t want other people to receive “handouts.” They proudly hate other people. It’s a murderous, anti-society ideology.
Billie is 100% right. I've been saying trans people were the canary in the coal mine for three bloody years, including on the hellsite.
If, in 2025, you are even vaguely tempted to tell someone from one of these groups that we are "overreacting" or are being alarmist then I would invite you to take all of the seats.

Today is a good day to tell someone that they were right and you weren't alarmed enough.
"Who would have predicted this?"

- Black women did.
- Trans people did.
- The *entire* disability community did.
- The anarchists did.
- Post-Evangelicals did.

"Well why didn't I hear them."

You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

Pittsburgh FTW!
Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.
So proud of my city!!!
40,00 in Pittsburgh. Five times the crowd at the first No Kings. Crowd stretches over two blocks behind these photos!
Our country is being run by Romper Room.
So the president of the United States plans to meet with Putin in Hungary, and when a reporter asked where that plan came from, this was the reply of the United States government www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...
Yes! Hoping to make it to one of your SBL sessions in Boston this year!
This looks absolutely fascinating! I read @christycobb.bsky.social 's excellent book on it and I bet this one is good too!

I am currently reading Bonhoeffer's Black Jesus by Reggie Williams, and it is a lovely antidote to metaxas's Bohoeffer
With the Trump administration targeting antifascism, what does that mean for Metaxas's Bonhoeffer?
It's a burden, but we take one for the team . . .
This is awful. Gender care saves lives
In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.

224 YEARS.

This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.

We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91
This looks amazing! Will I see you in Boston in November?
