The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.
Last night, Capitol Police arrested roughly 60 veterans and their family members outside the U.S. Capitol. The group had gathered to hold a peaceful sit-in on the Capitol steps, but police intentionally set up a barrier of bike racks to prevent them from demonstrating.
I was proud to be present for this vets courage. Amazing.
I was honored to be able to stand with other veterans yesterday. ✊🏻Vets say military off our streets!

I’m not on the socials much, but I have been following the TNE situation…and I gotta say…what is the problem? The following has occurred:
1. Misconduct followed by attempts at reconciliation.
2. Third party investigation after failed reconciliation.
If you want a master class in the need for media literacy pay attention to the negative responses to Kendrick Lamar's performance last night. That man put on one of the greatest performances in Super Bowl history and it went right over many folks heads.

As the expected Christian Nationalism EO came in, I’m seeing a bunch of “this isn’t real Christianity” noise in my mentions.
Nope.

There certainly is inequality in humanity along race and gender lines, but the largest and most impactful that intersects everything is class inequality. It's a class "war." Democrats must be a proactive party for the working class or it will lose again and again.

It looks like things really ramped up here post election. Is this where we're planting our flag? It's either this or 🧵 and it seems like a matter of time before Z*ck pulls a M*sk?

I’m in Top Gun: Maverick
I just engaged with a person on the internet that said if God told folks to kill people for land, and kill children, that it’s 👌. And that it’s “basic Christian doctrine.” This is the kind of theology that justifies atrocities of all kinds. It’s why I’m in seminary.
