I would add, a lack of concern for their physical safety and well being. An America where vaccines are vilified but sexual assault is shrugged off.

None Don’t Know

Sounds like a blues song

My 20-year old uses electronics MUCH less than I do. Zero social media.

They see the addiction, and won’t go there.

Kids in ICE Detention Up 10x in Trump’s Second Term Advocates warn trauma from detentions will cause kids lifelong damage.

ICE has detained over 6,200 children during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to recently released numbers analyzed by the Marshall Project.

Advocates warn trauma from detentions will cause kids lifelong damage.

Donald Trump is exactly the sort of person the book of Revelation warned us against.

My first thought as I read was Hildegard Von Bingen, but yes, Levertov, of course ❤️

Just attended a funeral for a 20 year old man that committed suicide.

You are seen. You are loved. The world is a wild place right now, but ask for help. People want you around, and there are resources to help.

They did not go there in order to work. They went there is order to storm out in a huff.

The people who refuse to refer to a transgender woman as “she“

but happily refer to their non-human AI assistant as ”she”

have a very messed up definition of female

And one day these can go into antique store cabinet right next to the swastika pins, for the next generation of neo-Nazis to covet…
Revolting.

Trump once lamented that it was blasphemous to celebrate Transgender Visibility Day on Easter.

You know what is truly blasphemous? Threatening war crimes and genocide on Easter. Or any other day of the year.

Trump threatens a ‘whole civilization’ with genocide, then coyly washes his hands of responsibility - ‘I don’t want it to happen, but it probably will.’

Time for everyone in the chain of command to remember: war crimes have no statute of limitations.

Last Saturday there were 3500 No Kings protesters in Greenfield, MA.

That’s 5% of the county. We’re past the fabled tipping point here in western Mass.

Tomorrow there’ll be more of us.

Every time.

Satan said to Jesus, “All this power will be yours, if you bow down and worship me.”

(Spoiler alert, Jesus refuses)

We literally read this text EVERY YEAR on the first Sunday of Lent. Were all these supposed Christians were dozing in church that day.

O Canada!

All day Saturday I sat on my couch trying to work up the mental fortitude to start writing today’s sermon.

Maternal: men’s clothing sales / buyer for Akron OH department store.

Paternal: county judge in Zanesville OH

I wouldn’t choose ‘rugged’ to describe either of them.

I saw Gospel at Colonus in Brooklyn, 1981? I’ve not run into many who have even heard of it.

Proud but also humbled. Our kids shouldn’t have to clean up the mess we made.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Dear Pete,
Where is the verse where Jesus says ‘whoever loses his life for the sake of the empire shall gain eternal life?’
I can’t seem to find it in my Bible…

Friend once asked me, wasn’t my tiny GEO Metro dangerous?
I said, If my little car gets crushed by your big car, which one is dangerous?

I kinda like buckthorn. But don’t get me started on bittersweet….

‘You just can’t kill for Jesus’
— James Taylor, who is clearly a better theologian than Pete Hegseth

“When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always.”-Mohandas K.Gandhi

Renee Good’s last words: “That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you.”

Alex Pretti‘s last words, reportedly, to the woman ICE was attacking and he was trying to help: “Are you okay?”

They took away his gun. Then, they executed him. They murdered an unarmed man.

Make your voice heard.
