@ericasmithsexed.bsky.social @tialevingswriter.bsky.social seeing CK lifted up as some sort of Christian martyr and that Christians should be prepared to die so soon after I learned the martyrdom at Columbine was a lie (via Shiny Happy People) is jarring. A peer posted this on the facespace.

The community isn't quite as tight on here as the other site yet, but please please don't forget about #STL in these coming days and weeks. Thousands of people are and will be displaced hopefully not permanently, and more weather is coming. Folks need help now. Find a place to help and kick in.

I was raised Evangelical, have a ministry degree, and Easter memes are my favorite. This one is less funny than what I usually share, but it's a good one. And it got a 👩🏻🍳😘 angry reaction from a random follower on FB so I feel like I've done my part this year.

Highly recommend the EPA AirNow app. And fully funding the EPA and NWS/NOAA.

I am furious we are here again & yes ICE was/is conducting operations in the STL region, but we've got to do the best we can to not spread fear & try to be really specific so people can keep trying to live their lives. Nonspecific info feeds their terror machine & doesn't help anyone respond better.

Y'all read that as public comment allowed on the resolutions too? We're being prevented from giving testimony. Will post our coalition letter shortly - this is a sham. The resolution text doesn't match anymore, posting is a mess and some aren't posted, just so much wrong. #stl #stlboa

Even after editing that line, nothing about this SLMPD technology page connects these plans to the ordinance or #stlBOA at all. The Public Safety Committee is required by the ordinance to make this information accessible. It's not.

But until the #stlboa tells you these hearings are happening and actually match the docs to the plans at all, how are you supposed to know??
Here's where SLMPD thought to post plans (that don't match the resolutions) not to satisfy the authorizing ordinance, but the lesser Exec Order.

Found this ordinance while looking for the one saying we're required to clear our sidewalks and I just wish we could do better according to our own rules. But yes also naming them and tracking would alleviate the "are they even out there" feelings.

From the @constitutionctr.bsky.social on the other apps. If only Christians seeking power had recognized the value of service someone like President Carter understood and rejected racial segregationist power-seeking, we'd be in such a better place as a country. RIP Jimmy Carter.
![Dark text on white background with the American flag resembling logo of the National Constitution Center reads:
"Americans should ask themselves what are the deeper meanings of these simple words: liberty and equality-on which our ideals are based... [they include]... freedom from deprivation and hopelessness... equal opportunity to a job, to health care, and decent housing. By sharing these values-freedom, democracy, and the alleviation of human suffering-with those who still do not know them, we exalt ourselves and we honor those early Americans from whom we inherited our country's greatness. I pray that we will enhance the greatness of our free and noble country."
Jimmy Carter

Loved the shade from STLPR on this notification. Hate that these folks still have zero issues with brown face cosplaying.
