I’m just a ā€œlefty, commieā€ pastor at CPAC documenting the insanity for @baptistnews.com Sitting in the panel: Canceling Satan with alt-right darling Jack Posobiec peddling a conspiracy theory about the woman in Spain who chose to die by euthanasia saying she was killed for her organs 😫

I’m covering the CPAC event in Texas for @baptistnews.com. I was just mistaken for a ā€œvolunteer.ā€ I guess my attempts at going incognito are successful 😜

For right-wingers who want to preserve any sort of public career in a post-Trump reality without being constantly haunted by their past disgrace, "Renee Good's murder is a bridge too far for me" is one of the easiest off-ramps in the world. I think we should take note of who declines to use it.

I’m still having trouble finding words to adequately express what I’m feeling after watching the videos of a federal agent shooting a woman in the face and then driving away.

A visual guide to theĀ elected officials who fly Christian nationalist flags at the Capitol – Baptist News Global I walked by every single elected official’s office to document exactly which of them fly Christian nationalist flags.

Today being the 5th anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, let's look back a 2025 report by @marabim.bsky.social on the concerning amount of Christian nationalist flags hung outside offices at the U.S. Capitol.

Department of Homeland Security & Department of War keep posting videos with Bible verses to justify their imperial violence. But, sure, let's question if #ChristianNationalism is even a thing.

I spend lots of time in the ICE field office and immigration court. People are being kidnapped every day - people who are showing up for their immigration process ā€œdoing it the right way.ā€ This video was captured a few months ago by Vecinos Unidos - one of the groups I work with. Watch to the end.

Make no mistake though, things are escalating in Dallas and beyond. The illusion that U.S. citizens are safe from these gestapo tactics is just that: an illusion.

Later, I received word that two court observers were being ā€œtemporarily detainedā€ by US Marshals.

So I went back to the courthouse to stand with them until we figured out what was going on. They were released and were still unclear what the issue was. 🧵

I asked ā€œis that a threat?ā€ He said, ā€œno, I’m just letting you know.ā€

Are these men ICE? CPB? Gang members? Paid thugs? Who knows. But I do consider his action a threat. 🧵

On Tuesday, I was at Immigration Court in my clergy collar. The plainclothes agent on the left got in my face with his phone and snapped a photo I said, ā€œwould you like to know my name?ā€ He responded, ā€œno we’ve got facial recognition. We’ve got your name and address.ā€ 🧵
