Some worship music is transporting in the way anesthesia is transporting.
He soothes the status quo.
He blesses stability.
He spiritualizes suffering.
He can be gentle in song and bellicose in policy.

It is about recognition. About the Jesus our bodies know before our arguments catch up. The Jesus who stands in embodied solidarity with the poor, the incarcerated, the colonized, the publicly humiliated.

Side-by-side collage of two images. On the left, a man with a beard sits in a legislative chamber seat, leaning forward over a desk with papers. On the right, two men stand behind podiums during what appears to be a debate or TV segment; a pink circle highlights a block or platform under one of the men’s feet.
Trump wants this guy in charge of Homeland Security.
Oh, I almost forgot! Grok was asked to roast musky boy today and it's fucking good! 😅🤣😂
I don't & would never use it, but this is funny. Tomorrow Grok will be down for "adjustments." Lol.

Our “holiness” churches didn’t ask me to accept Jesus as my personal savior; they asked my whole body to step into a river that was already moving.

You're creating dots so you can connect them.
I find Stephen Colbert far more believable than Brendan Carr.
Robert Kraft, owner of the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots, is a prominent philanthropist and an outspoken supporter of Israel. He has made more than one hundred trips to the country.
None of it is treated as “too political” for sports.

If justice was never universal,
was it ever justice at all?
This is why so many who fight “for the people” fall silent here.
Because Palestine does not just ask for solidarity.
It demands the collapse of Western moral innocence.

In light of revelations about Steph Curry’s Zionism, I went online to find out how many players have appealed for mercy for Palestinians. There’s not a lot out there.
Pretty demoralizing.

I did not know it was 4, I was only aware of 2. Please share for awareness.
Consider the calculus of Trump’s cabal arresting Black journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort while releasing some of the Epstein Files.
Don’t take your eyes off of Gaza or Iran. Stay sharp and active, my friends.
Did they test Black people at all? Because all my Black
friends who died during the pandemic died before vaccines.
You could call this “first-world problems.”
But it doesn’t feel like the first world anymore.

You are refusing the script.
Refusing to rename murder.
Refusing empty patriotism.
You are building community—
not around a flag,
but around shared survival.
This is what hope looks like... people who refuse to kill in order to live.

I'm feeling some schadenfreude…
yes, for Machado, but even more for the Nobel Institute.
I wrote my observations last August, two months before the Nobel Committee shamelessly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to María Corina Machado.

When this is over, let's talk.
... there is the silence—or strategic ambiguity—within parts of Black America. While the global majority overwhelmingly stands with Palestinians, many of my own Black siblings remain quiet.

I blame the kicker. They make that PAT, and they can settle for a FG.

• Experience nature – let the earth remind you how to slow down
• Gather face-to-face – with your sangha, soul-tribe, or chosen family. It’s always worth the effort.
