10 Awesome Women Pastors from History - CBE International During Women’s History Month, and especially on International Women’s Day, we have a unique opportunity to correct the marginalization of women’s accomplishments and influence. Those blindspots exist ...

International Women's Day, I want to honor a most neglected field, women in ministry. A patriarchy filled profession. Today women are forbidden to lead spiritually in many religions & denominations

Don’t let Fox get away with it this time. Spread the word.

Fox & Friends Weekend replaced footage of Trump attending yesterday’s dignified transfer with a clip from 2025.

They clearly didn’t want their audience to see him disrespecting fallen soldiers wearing a baseball cap.

Change the Formula of War It’s easier to kill with a clear conscience if you think you’re doing it for a deity willing to absolve you of your sins.

Mitch Randall: People watch war on their phones and televisions, captivated by the attacks and counterattacks.

It’s only when the casualties of war trickle in that we get a sense of loss. But as the casualties mount, names quickly become statistics.

Rifts on the Religious Right These rifts run deep and suggest that the coalition of Christian conservatives that has powered Donald Trump’s election campaigns cannot hold.

Just posted a new article @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social which discusses efforts by anti-abortion activist Matt Trewhella against GOP platforming of openly LGBTQ political figures, plus some NAR leaders differ from Christian Right xenophobes on immigration. goodfaithmedia.org/rifts-on-the...

In April 2017, then-Rep. Markwayne Mullin told constituents it was “bull crap” that taxpayers pay his salary.

He said 𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 “𝘢 𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦” that no one pays him for.

In 2021, while in office, he sold his business and reported $𝟯𝟭.𝟲𝗠–$𝟳𝟱.𝟲𝗠 𝗶𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘀.

The Great Replacement of Conservative Ideology The Great Replacement unites the factions of conservatism like "fusionism" never could.

It’s an article of faith for never-Trump conservatives that Trump is not a conservative. But history & tradition are against them. Conservatism has always had a hardline camp. Trump's embrace of The Great Replacement Theory has brought them to power. 1/x

State of the Swamp Destroys Trump’s Longest, Angriest State of the Union As Trump ranted through a record-breaking grievance fest, celebrities, activists, and everyday Americans turned ridicule into resistance—and stole the night.

Trump droned on in his State Of Dementia. Threatened, lied, sharted..neurons faded. At State of the Swamp, electricity lightning can’t provide. Joy. Portland frogs

When the US Supreme Court struck down US import tariffs & ruled that Trump had unlawfully imposed them last April, the hero of the day was Schwartz, the owner of a small New York wine import company. He decided to sue the President of the United States himself, regardless of the risk.

Love to see that avatar and post. The poster is a former Senior Stormfront moderator, 60+ years old, raised CI, resigned his position, and left the WN movement because he didn't want a white nationalist future for his granddaughters.

He even kept sending me Christmas cards when I left the movement.
