A lovely reminder this testing/writing season… the years 14-25 don’t have to define your life. I was a C student in high school. I attended 7 different community colleges, and at one point had a 1.7 GPA. (1/2)

Today is Palm Sunday.
What does it mean this Sunday? Under the tentacles of authoritarianism?
It means the same thing as when it started. Because for Jesus this day was a protest, not a parade.

This is why they have systematically dismantled public education. And now they’re going after higher education institutions. Because an uneducated population is easier to control.

Colleges and universities do not tell students *what* to think. They teach students *how* to think. But this administration does not want citizens to be able to think for themselves.

What this administration is doing to higher education is a hostage situation. Withholding funding is abusive. Especially federal financial aid.

I wonder if we will see more of these types of cases…
A Texas man charged with murder in the death of his fiancé searched online what the legal consequences were of killing an "illegal immigrant" by a "legal citizen," according a court document.
Man charged with murder after searching online about 'legal citizen' killing 'illegal immigrant'
Police in Baytown, Texas, say the man had called 911 in January to report the death of his fiancé but provided "inconsistent testimony" about what happened.

Let’s be clear. “We” need to stop saying, “you’re making everything political!” Everything *is* political. Politics are “the activities associated with the governance of a country or other area.” It’s how we do life together. How we relate to one another. It’s part of what it means to be human. 1/2

It would be a shame to encourage folks to use banned book lists to do strange things like
-check them out regularly at the library
-request the library order them if they don’t have them
-buy them
-start or support banned book clubs
-organize a banned book kids story time
A real shame

No, Christians, God is Not in Control
Whenever the subject turns to our current national dumpster fire and the resulting unrest here, There's a similar refrain I hear from the lips of many Christians these days:
