The President of the United States has criticized an ally for not surrendering to an invading army sent by an enemy dictator.
He literally blamed them for the war because they didn’t just surrender.
The U.S. should absolutely stand with Ukraine. This is embarrassing.

Trump is gutting Christian ministries that serve the poor . . . while MAGA Christians cheer.
And if you object to the human suffering they cause, then they accuse you of displaying "toxic empathy."

2,000 years after it was first asked, the question, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29) is one of the simplest ways to assess the degree to which we take the teachings of Jesus seriously.

These are the people who would be dramatically harmed by Medicaid cuts.
—Pregnant woman (and unborn babies)
—-People with disabilities
—-Poor senior citizens
—-Vulnerable children
Balance the budget but not by cutting basics for the most vulnerable.
Ample opportunity elsewhere.

In any situation, look for those with the least power, those least able to influence the outcome of the situation. These are "the least" and "the last" Jesus especially calls us to love as ourselves, to prioritize their needs as if their needs were our own.

In Matthew 25, Jesus describes true converts as being marked by a peculiar empathy toward the poor, marginalized, and incarcerated.
But he describes false coverts as being outwardly religious but marked by a peculiar callousness toward the poor, marginalized, & incarcerated.

The glib dismissal of "echo chambers" really misses that a group of smart, thoughtful experts with different approaches to broadly aligned goals will almost invariably produce more interesting and useful conversations than crush-your-enemy debate-bro sniping between outright enemies.

For Christian conservatives rightly (imo) concerned @ the lives of the preborn, we need you to speak up against cuts in Medicaid, which saves the lives of our already born children w/special needs & other vulnerable people.

Ok, who else is working on how to disconnect some from the T train continual madness for sake of their own soul while balancing the need to speak up for those being harmed-even when it seems utterly useless to do so?
