“We know much too little in the church today about the peculiar blessing of bearing. Bearing, not shaking off; bearing, but not collapsing either; bearing as Christ bore the cross, remaining underneath, and there beneath it — to find Christ.”- we are not persecuted here in America

“We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.” - we must grind injustice to a halt. Call your reps and senators and tell them you will primary them if they continue funding ICE.

So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes.” -the church cannot hide in its buildings it needs to protect people. Cruciform arms open to embrace the hurting people.

“Jesus Christ lived in the midst of his enemies. At the end all his disciples deserted him. On the cross he was utterly alone, surrounded by evildoers and mockers. For this cause he had come, to bring peace to the enemies of God…

“There is no way to peace along the way to safety. For peace must be dared. It is the great venture.” -it is not going to be safe. It is going to be dangerous and bloody to resist evil and injustice to restore peace.

I will have no right to participate in the reconstruction of Christian life in Germany after the war if I do not share the trials of this time with my people.” - We can’t leave our country like this. Flee if you must, but I’m staying.

from Dietrich Bonhoeffer to today’s clergy regarding the current administration “I have come to the conclusion that I made a mistake in coming to America. I must live through this difficult period in our national history with the people of Germany…

Jack Smith: "The people who assaulted police officers and were convicted after trial in my view and I think in the view of the judges who sentenced them to prison are dangerous to their community. Some of these people have already committed crimes against their communities again."

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

Time to buy an AR-15

The party of law and order literally just wrote themselves a memo that says they don't have to follow the 4th Amendment.

That's right, ICE intends to perform illegal search and seizures without a warrant.

Add that to the list with "we had to beat up the police on Jan 6 to defend our democracy".

They Used a Five-Year-Old as Bait The Trump regime is traumatizing our kids

Trauma doesn’t need a villain—it only needs a moment where safety collapses and a child has to grow up inside it.

We are ALL residents of Minnesota.

We ALL want #ICE_OutForGOOD 🚫 🧊

Federal judge appears skeptical of DOJ's argument for White House ballroom While U.S. District Judge Richard Leon did not rule from the bench, promising a decision next month, his comments left little doubt about what way he's leaning.

A federal judge appears to be leaning toward hitting the pause button on the White House ballroom's construction.

I got around to Wake Up Dead Man: a Knives Out Mystery. This film may be the best theological films of the decade. Father Jud, the main character other than Blanc, is an excellent example of what every pastor should be. The world is not our enemy; Jesus came to save the world, not condemn it #film

Walz: "If they have emails showing that I have committed fraud, you should get those! Why aren't they putting them out there? Why aren't they turning them over to prosecutors? Right now they're hiding behind a veil of innuendo. They're protecting the biggest fraudster in the White House."

Reformed January 6th participant (who refused a pardon): “You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent.”

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

The right wants to talk about fraud? Somali fraud? Okay, give me 60 seconds.

COMMENTARY: It seems an increasing number of Americans, including elected leaders and journalists, are afraid to tell the truth about what happened on January 6. That's dangerous.

call your reps snd tell them to support this

Who agrees? ✋

Trump is causing mass confusion right now amid an active shooter situation at Brown University. Trump posted that the suspect was in custody, but Brown University and media reports say that is not true and that the situation remains active.

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣
