A united people can stand against empire but a divided people can be made to be suspicious, afraid and convinced of anything. A united people can build a just world for all but a divided people will try to keep whatever they have. A united people do not have to resort to violence but a divided people will see no other way.

RFK Jr wants to do away with #Dunkin. My only question is:
How are we gonna give directions in Massachusetts? 🤣
"When religion is practiced correctly, it doesn't divide people, it brings people together." - Sheikh Abdel-Hadi, Imam of the Islamic Society of Delaware, at tonight's interfaith Iftar dinner.
When salvation is individual, we disconnect ourselves from the suffering of our neighbor. When a relationship with Jesus is personal, we run the risk of worshipping our ego. When sin is private, predators move in plain sight & there is no collective repair of the harm done by one group to another.
"...to create cohesion among people, some of the most powerful are hate & fear. Telling people what to be afraid of & who’s to blame for it. It hurts so much to live in this world right now. Yet it is never an excuse for hate, violence, genocide, & war."

"Jesus did not just turn down an opportunity to test God. He turned down the sacrifice of his safety for unlimited freedom."

A Lenten Fast
Tell each other something good.
Look for the helpers.
Share the good stuff.
Get closer to people.
Let them get closer to you.
Check your self-interest at the door.
Be an angel & serve somebody.
You are dust and to dust you shall return.
You are loved and to Love you shall return.
With over a million mentions we should be calling them the #TrumpFiles.

“You are the salt of the earth. You are who you are, and there’s no turning back. Remember who you are and give thanks for all of it, or at least make peace with it, even the really horrible, terrible awful, because you’re a warrior, you’re still here."

@steveinskeep.bsky.social #BadBunnyHalftimeShow was definitely political: shouting God bless America and calling out every country in America. Totally appropriate to the moment when one of those Americas is oppressing and erasing people from all the rest.
Yesterday at church one of the 90+ elders said to me "I think I'm finally getting older" and then noticed my newest tattoo and asked me about it.
That's all it takes. Curiosity, not judgment.
Looks like the FBI is bought and paid for.
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:
- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown
This is unprecedented.
I also appreciated that the tall sugarcane fields were people dressed in costumes. Enslaved people died in the sugarcane trade. Last night they came to life. #BadBunnyHalftimeShow
TB and COVID-19 cases confirmed at ICE’s Camp East Montana jail in El Paso, just days after measles was detected at another Texas ICE facility, raising concerns over disease outbreaks in detention centers.
If you think the halftime show was a slap in the face to our country, think about why your face was out there to be slapped in the first place. The rest of us just fucking enjoyed ourselves. #badbunnysuperbowl
Bad bunny show has featured taco trucks, heterosexual weddings, and landscaping. I would think evangelicals would love this
The sin of Sodom right there.👇👇👇
"White supremacist is code for anti-White, and White supremacy is nothing short of an ongoing program of genocide against the White race. In fact, it's more than that: White supremacist is code for anti-human, a nuclear ideology that poses an existential threat to human existence." - Ibram Kendi
That’s what the gospel is all about: at our lowest, most despairing and hurting, Jesus says to us, “You are not alone. I am on your side.”

"Love your neighbor" makes America safer! Thank you @indivisiblenewark.bsky.social for inviting me to speak.

I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.
Wicked!
And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest.
To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.
It's fascism when the state gets violent with White people.
Otherwise it's sparkling White supremacy.
If you were in one of these camps and feared for your life, what would you call it?
I can see how this is getting us to own our own history but most American Japanese people survived internment. Let's skip to the end, call them concentration camps so we can prevent that horrible end from happening.
Now that they're killing White people with impunity, do you understand now why Black Lives Matter, why we need to defund the police, why us White people should've been showing up in numbers? Fascism has ALWAYS been here.
IT IS TIME TO ABOLISH OUR RACISM. BE AN ANTIRACIST.
