I am lamenting that within the ELCA, our disabled siblings seem to be left out of conversations regarding historically underrepresented groups.
Racism is absolutely baked into the system, but all it takes is a picture of a church sanctuary to see that ableism is, too

From Heather Cox Richardson today:
"Do not doubt, don’t second guess, and don't challenge the President of the US Donald Trump,” House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) warned GOP lawmakers. “He's the leader of the party."
That's MAGA. That's Christian nationalism in a nutshell.

The speaker also refuses to acknowledge that the term "judeo-christian," and Christian Nationalism, as a whole, are, in fact, anti-semetic.

Have you ever noticed the administration says it's our patriotic duty to be healthier but has yet to announce plans to reduce poverty and increase access to affordable fresh foods?
In fact, their policies seem to be doing the opposite.

The most recent episodes of my favorite podcast, @thehistorychicks.bsky.social tells the story of Miep Gies, one of the individuals who risked their lives to hide Anne Frank's family.
I highly recommend this episode, as well as their episode on Anne Frank.
I promise you it's relevant

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism.
But what the autistic people in your life hear when you spread that widely debunked misinformation is that you would prefer to have a child die a painful death from eradicated communicable disease than to be like them.
Oh, and that’s bullshit.
Hope this helps!

You cannot say, in one breath, "I follow Christ," and, in the next, vote to cut health care access and food assistance to the most vulnerable in our country.

Pay attention. Israel just evicted 40,000 Palestinians from the West Bank. From refugee camps. Tanks have rolled in and they say they will be there at least a year. Palestinians are under attack and under siege in every place in the tiny bits of land that they have been able to hold onto.
