The endgame we all knew was coming, and will likely be coming to more blue states/cities as the year progresses.
“Don’t Tread On Me” always meant “We’ll Tread On You!”
The regime and those who support this are a disgraceful bunch.

This has been the plan all along.
- Foment violence and chaos in the streets of MN
- Implement the Insurrection Act
- Declare Martial Law
- Suspend elections

All the lies they're telling about Renee Good are in service of an even bigger lie: that individual human lives have no intrinsic worth and are therefore theirs to dispose of. publiccomment.blog/p/the-poison...

Renewal means we should look increasingly less like Empire … not more like it.
America is not "Christian" culture.
If our idea of becoming more like Christ makes us look more like Caesar or “normal” culture … we’ve chosen to become more like Barabbas, not Christ.

The Gazelle Miley saved that entire play, btw. What determination he’s been displaying! Beautiful nudge from Bruno, with a header from Joe that, after the first half, seemed inevitable. UNITED! #nufc

Remember when Gordon got walloped and the refs said “no penalty, just an aggressive play on the ball!” because I certainly do.
To call this a penalty is insane. #nufc

Spoke this morning about Psalms and Lamentations being my favorite books in the bible, all while sprinkling in some poetry (because of course). Afterward, a colleague asked for poetry to read and/or prompts to get them going. I am here for it all.

The puffed chest tactics of Stephen Miller and the whole of this regime is male fragility on display, a manospheric concoction of toxicity, small-mindedness, greed, and power.

Nearing the end of S1 - what a show. THE PITT is necessary in that it allows us to peer into the fictionalized version of men and women who do these jobs in the real world. We should be applauding, thanking, caring for, and lifting up those working to save lives every single day.
Finally checking out THE PITT - fantastic on all levels so far (S1 ep3).
