Please continue to protest the mass deportations undertaken by the Trump administration. These deportations are cruel and rooted, not in law, but in xenophobia. We must remain nonviolent as Trump seeks to create a crisis in #Portland that would justify deploying more unneeded troops to our city.

A short time ago two Portlanders were shot by federal agents in the city as part of Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort. We don’t know their condition. But we do know that we need to forcefully respond to Donald Trump with protest and prayer.

Fueled by white Christian nationalism and a belief held by many right-wing Christians that God ordained Trump to be president, the #January6th attack was more insidious and dangerous than 9/11 because it was led by a defeated president and undertaken by American citizens.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The 2026 election will be another of the most consequential elections in American history. It will be our last chance to put the brakes on Donald Trump's presidency, one rooted in corruption, hatred, division, the pursuit of ill-gotten wealth, and a lust for power.

For Donald Trump, “radical left scum” looks a lot like this. ⬇️ There is nothing more frightening to the MAGA movement than faithful followers of Jesus who stand in opposition to the white Christian nationalism that movement embodies- a movement in direct opposition to the teachings of #Jesus.

A #ChristmasMessage from The Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie
At #Christmas, God breaks into the world through the birth of a child. It is a reminder that God takes side. Not on behalf of the rich and powerful, but on behalf of the least of these.
Christmas is political.

Guns need to be just as well regulated as automobiles, but they are not. Some have said that mass shootings at schools are the cost of freedom- that’s an argument Charlie Kirk made before he was shot and killed - but we must reject such thinking.

Big news from Pacific University and Willamette University. Change can be hard, even scary, but this is the kind of bold thinking needed today in higher education. ❤️🖤

Two of Oregon’s oldest colleges may join forces
If a merger is approved, Willamette University and Pacific University would become the University of the Northwest.

No War With #Venezuela
It’s a dumb, illegal, and unnecessary idea. If Donald Trump were truly concerned with drug trafficking, he would never have pardoned Honduran drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández. Congress must rein Trump in to stop this madness.

If Jesus were born today, and fled as a refugee with his family to the United States to escape death as a child, Donald Trump and his ICE agents would separate him from Mary and Joseph- and deport him. The MAGA agenda is incompatible with God’s teachings. Remember that this Christmas.

Hope resists. It is in resisting evil that hope comes alive. Hope is soul food. It nourishes our spirit even during difficult times. Hope, however, is not passive- it is a call to build the Beloved Community.

Liz and I were excited to briefly say hello to Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner and advocate for girls and education. A real treat. Malala Yousafzai is on a book tour for her latest, Finding My Way. A true person of courage. May God continue to bless and keep her.
