If Jesus were born today, and fled as a refugee with his family to the United States to escape death as a child, Donald Trump and his ICE agents would separate him from Mary and Joseph- and deport him. The MAGA agenda is incompatible with God’s teachings. Remember that this Christmas.

Hope resists. It is in resisting evil that hope comes alive. Hope is soul food. It nourishes our spirit even during difficult times. Hope, however, is not passive- it is a call to build the Beloved Community.

Ruth is my (step) sister-in-law. Right now, she is facing the scary prospect of losing her life without a kidney transplant. We cannot allow that, friends. If you know of someone who might be a donor, please reach out. (Cont.)

Liz and I were excited to briefly say hello to Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner and advocate for girls and education. A real treat. Malala Yousafzai is on a book tour for her latest, Finding My Way. A true person of courage. May God continue to bless and keep her.

Donald Trump is terrified that Portland’s commitment to democracy, diversity and the common good will ultimately defeat the MAGA movement. He’s right.
#Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump.

The United States should recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Now.

Nineteen years ago this week, I was ordained as a minister in the United Church of Christ. I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve God in this way. For 38 years, I’ve been blessed to work as an activist, educator, and minister.

FOX News must fire Brian Kilmeade.
Last week, on-air, FOX News host Brian Kilmeade called for the mass extermination of people suffering from homelessness and addiction. “Just kill ‘em,” he said.

Why are Trump and other MAGA politicians so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee.

Our response to MAGA should be non-violent. The ballot box is our greatest weapon. We have to break the cycle of violence in the US. I am praying for Charlie Kirk, as Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies. My prayer is for his health, & that God use this moment to soften all our hearts.

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee. Today he said: “When we go there — if we go to Portland, we’re going to wipe them out.” Living in Portland, Trump said, is “like living in hell." (Cont.)

Dear Immigration And Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents: Many of you are good people. Some of strong faith. You are tasked now not with enforcing US law, but with abusing the #humanrights of others. Honor your love of country. Resign your positions. This is a hard ask, but a moral one. #ICERaids

Open Letter to #Portland leaders on #DonaldTrump:
I write with deep concern over the possibility that President Donald Trump may well send federal troops to Portland.
Portlanders and other Americans must do everything in our power to defend democracy.

Donald Trump’s faith advisor, Paula White, recently said that “to say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.”
Has a more idolatrous statement ever been made?
Too many worship Donald Trump, replacing Jesus, the Prince of Peace, with Trump…
Follow Jesus. Reject Trump.
