Known as the “crying horse,” a glum Lunar New Year toy with a manufacturing error has become an unlikely emblem. Many young Chinese workers have embraced it as a symbol of their exhaustion and disillusion. nyti.ms/4k9cAdO

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I argue here that Trump already has key national security agencies--DOJ, FBI, CIA--involved in the plot to subvert free and fair elections in 2026 and 2028. Teed up behind them are DOD and, importantly, DHS. One reason today's fight against ICE is so crucial.

The fight over ICE isn’t just about civil rights. It’s about free and fair elections, too.

The VERY MEAN AND NASTY Jesus Christ flipped over a bunch of tables in the temple and assaulted our fine money changers with a whip! HE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH THIS. Jesus is a well-known leftist who has NO RESPECT for the businesses that make our houses of worship great!

This is really interesting. We all bring our preconceived ideas to Bible stories. I admit that I sometimes felt when acting as a school chaplain that I was being asked to use the Bible to just teach morality, when it's really about salvation
Young people have been culturally conditioned to read the Bible for moral lessons— “abstract ‘shoulds’ that strip stories of their theological depth and emotional power” — a new study reports.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

One of the storylines of the last year is how much the progressive and/or mainline Christian churches have been showing up. For those of you not aware, Christianity Today is not their magazine, it is an Evangelical one.
