One of the most successful pieces of far right propaganda was to convince so many Christians that helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, loving all our neighbors, and caring for our planet was “leftist” and wasn’t actually part of following Jesus.

Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024.
Now, Starbucks is lifting a cap on the CEO's use of a private jet to commute from California to Seattle.
It's been four years since Starbucks stores began unionizing and workers still don't have a contract.

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.
No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.
Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?
No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

One of the most blatant forms of hypocrisy in our time is Christians holding all ordinary people accountable to the most rigid moral standards while simultaneously holding their preferred politicians and celebrities accountable to no standards at all.

This was not an inevitability.
This is the result of decades of political choices that rig the system in favor of the wealthy and powerful while leaving workers behind.
It does not have to be this way.

It you'd asked me at age 7 what my favorite song was, it would have been this one. We sang it at the top of our lungs on the swings in the playground at Tomasita Elementary. I don't thing we really understood its gravitas.
