Did y’all know that over 2/3rds of WIC and SNAP beneficiaries are children, elderly, or disabled?

I can’t wait to stay up late on No Kings Eve to eat bites of the Resistance Frog cookies, put pocket Constitutions in my grandchildren’s shoes, and then wake up the next morning for a dance party to all of our favorite Rage Against the Machine songs 💙
I hope someday we defeat fascism and in the far future, No Kings Day is celebrated as a federal holiday, and little children leave out dance mixtapes and cookies for the Resistance Frog, who leaves pocket Constitutions in their shoes.

If every time I condemn sexism, nationalism, white supremacy, and homophobia/transphobia you assume I’m condemning Christians, that tells me all I need to know about your version of Christianity.

Empathy isn’t sinful or weak, it is a core value of Christianity and a foundational pillar of democracy.
That’s why authoritarians are so intent on demonizing it.

Thanks so much for sharing all of this! So glad Better Ways To Read The Bible was helpful 😊
@zachwlambert.bsky.social, I don't think we've interacted directly before, but I've been following you (on socials, and watching some of your sermons on YouTube) for a couple of years now. My wife and I excitedly pre-ordered your book and have been reading a chapter of #bwtrtb each week.

Suppose someone's child is gunned down. If one of you says to them, "Here are my thoughts and prayers," but does nothing else, what good is it?
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.

Doug Wilson isn’t just a “provocative pastor.”
He’s a purveyor of patriarchy, white supremacy, and spiritual abuse dressed up as biblical fidelity.
If your theology looks like Jesus, it will never look like Doug Wilson.
