#MoralBudget #PentecostWitness
This is a must read from @foxpack.bsky.social on hypernormalization.
"Witnessing large-scale systems slowly unravel in real time can be profoundly surreal and frightening. The hypernormalization framework offers a way to understand what we’re feeling and why."
Hundreds of faith leaders representing millions of American Christians and other religious traditions will gather near the U.S. Capitol next Tuesday, June 10, to urge Senators to reject cuts to programs like Medicaid and SNAP proposed in the GOP budget bill. @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social
Before Pentecost, the disciples hid in fear. After, they took to the streets. On June 10, people of faith will gather at the U.S. Capitol for a #PentecostWitness to defend a #MoralBudget. Join us to stand with the poor, sick, & hungry.

“These aren’t just budget numbers—this is a moral choice.” @revjimwallis.bsky.social & @brendanvduke.bsky.social of @centeronbudget.bsky.social break down how $1.1 trillion is being shifted from the poor to the rich, and why faith traditions call us to do better. Listen & share.
Thanks @hollybfletcher.bsky.social for try kind words! So glad you enjoyed today’s Do No Harm workshop.
"It can be argued, with Vance, that elected officials should care first for their own citizens. But from a Christian perspective leaders can and must respond to global as well as national and local moral horizons. Falling back on a narrowly nationalist “America First” agenda is bad theology."
“Tonight, we lift up our prayers — not just for the outcome of a lawsuit, but also for the families directly impacted by these injustices...Justice for us is not an ideal — it’s our sacred obligation.”
I'm so grateful for the prophetic witness of @booker.senate.gov and @coons.senate.gov on the Senate floor.
Authoritarianism is not only a political issue, it’s a theological one. The human capacity for evil is too great to allow individuals to have too much unchecked political power.
Join us for an interfaith prayer vigil on the eve of our historic lawsuit against DHS’s rescission of the sensitive locations memo. 📅 Thu., April 3 🕡 6:30pm 📍 National City Christian Church, DC. Stand with us in faith and solidarity. tinyurl.com/mr3xdv58

We joined with our Circle of Protection partners in opposing the appropriations bill that would cut assistance programs and give the President more authority to make spending decisions. Republicans are trying to leverage the appropriations process to give further power to the President. Page 2 ⬇️
Last week our student fellows together each shared a time when they made a difference. The group then named traits the sharer exhibited in their story. This builds on the work of Joanna Macy.
This list has become a reminder for us of how we show up and lead

"If people read this and think it's political and especially if they feel like it directly confronts their own politics — then they need to reexamine their politics."

Excellent reporting by @sahilkapur.bsky.social. The math has always been clear. To cut government spending as much as Trump, Musk, and the Republicans want will have huge impacts on the most vulnerable and marginalized in our country and around the world. It will be them that suffer most.
Listen this IS in fact how it’s done.
Georgetown Law Dean William Treanor responds to Acting U.S. Atty Ed Martin’s threat to refuse to hire Georgetown graduates who have taken “DEI” courses in their curriculum.
Treanor is a brilliant lawyer & constitutional scholar. Embarrassing for Martin.
“DOGE and its boss, Elon Musk, have instead focused their activity on the eradication of the federal civil service, along with its culture and values, and its replacement with something different. In other words: regime change.”
We’re live now! Come learn about good trouble.

Jesus was clear. Are we?
"The “Returning to Jesus” letter was a departure from recent faith leaders’ pleas in that it took on the Trump White House’s political decisions as well as economic and immigration issues."
