A repentant Christian nationalist who left too late. Repairing the damage and helping build a better world for my grandson. I voted for Jimmy Carter b/c he was the candidate most like Jesus, then gave my heart to the GOP, but I’m back to my First Love.

Jesus Christ: “Love your enemy.”
Donald Trump: “I hate my opponent.”
The two statements are diametric opposites.
The implications are innumerable and the consequences of each are enormous.

“The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church.” Tertullian, in his Apologeticus, c. AD 197.
I keep waiting for Donald Trump to claim that if he had been emperor, there wouldn’t have been any martyrs of the church. “That guy, Stephen, would’ve never been killed. Never!”

Re: SNAP, WIC, Head Start: To the GOP reps and Trump Admin personnel I used to pray and read scripture with, God says, “I command you to be openhanded toward your brothers and toward the poor and needy in your land." (Deuteronomy 15:11) The operative word being “command.” It’s non-negotiable.

Would reporters please be more accurate about what’s happening here? The Trump administration’s stylized “Department of War” is lethally attacking human beings, not “boats.” The objective is not to destroy boats, which could be done at docks, en masse. They are killing people. Unaccountable killing.

It’s agonizing to watch the scenes in Grand Blanc, Michigan, where an LDS congregation was attacked today. God be with the victims, their loved ones, and everyone in that ward and wider community.
Violence is a moral disease. The ultimate answer is not reciprocal state violence, but moral renewal.

So much for my MAGA conversation partners to process, these days. Not just that Trump orders an American business (not China) to “eat the tariffs,” but that he wants dirty coal-burning power plants for the US, but sleek state-of-the-art AI server plants for the Gulf States. Hmm . . .

In the time of #Trump, I’m asked what can we do to protest, resist, oppose? Every conscientious objector to this regime can: Write or call your congressional delegation to “petition for a redress of grievances.” Phone is most effective, followed by email, then paper mail. Next suggests how . . .
