I am a Progressive UMC Elder living in East TN who loves my wife, Jesus, the Atlanta Braves, and all things University of Alabama Crimson Tide. College sports and political junkie. Louisville Seminary alum. Will talk religion for hours. He/Him.
I am still a little spun that my intelligent mother chooses to watch FoxNews and chooses to believe Trump and his press secretary and all the FoxNews spin. And chooses to not believe me.
After a decade of this, I know it. But somehow it still stuns me each time I run smack into it.
TODAY is #MaundyThursday - the name comes from the Latin for 'command', as Jesus gave a new commandment: 'Love one another as I have loved you'.
Jesus washed his friends' feet. Here Jesus washes a #Pride #Protest participant's feet.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.
Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

At some point I’ll have to write a series on what I consider perfect films. Chief among them is Raiders of the Lost Ark.
It. Is. Flawless.
When your understanding of salvation equals your soul going to heaven when you die, it's a lot easier to ignore the material needs of your neighbor!
John Fetterman announces he will be voting NO on Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.
The pan-African flag sits vertical as the background. "Black History Month" is in white bold letters. the word "queer" is in yellow in the middle of Black and History. In black and white at the bottoms, are portraits of Roxanne Gay, Bayard Rustin, Marsha P. Johnson, and Doechii.
Despite anti-DEI campaigns, this Black History Month (and always) we will be celebrating the Black queer people who have made this world more equitable for ALL OF US.
Yes, everyone is correct. They're not advocating for a "strict meritocracy." Affirmative action is over. They're now suing over the very presence of Black people and Latinos in elite education and white collar careers.
They're advocating for resegregation. Call it out every time.
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour: “It has become ever more apparent that, to our president the rule of law is but an impediment to his policy goals, the rule of law is, according to him, something to navigate around or simply ignore, whether that be for political or personal gain."
Lord in your mercy, save us from your "followers"
Trump presided over today's Nat'l Prayer Breakfast in the Capitol of the new Christian state of Gilead. He insulted Dems, immigrants & trans people, claimed God guides his every word and every step, & then announced a task force to combat "anti-Christian bias." As if... www.au.org/the-latest/p...
Trump will decide someone is a criminal (Elon will manufacture something from the data he's stealing), ship them off and they will disappear. No accountability in foreign prisons.
If things keep going like this, come Easter the only thing that will be dipped in pastel colored paints and hidden in the yard for kids to find are boiled potatoes.
Hey Donald, you promised to lower grocery prices on day 1. What happened?
I thought he was all about free speech. Shock. #resist
I am afraid this is weekly occurance here in the great USA. Praying for all those grieving.
‘Endorsement of ethnic cleansing’
Donald Trump’s call for the US to “take over” and “own” Gaza during news conference with Israeli PM Netanyahu prompts condemnations and forceful rejections of the proposal aje.io/l57bot

@unitedwedream.org is mobilizing volunteers to hosting Know Your Rights trainings across the country. Learn more and get involved by joining their orientation call Thursday at 7pm.
Join in. Throw a wrench in the deportation machine.
Trump doesn’t remotely have the legal or practical authority to seize Gaza, expel its Palestinian inhabitants, spend billions to develop a Club Med resort, and mug Hamas. He’s drunk with belief in his own unchecked power. Don’t treat this as an actual idea. The words of a dictator.
