I understand when people want a funeral to be hopeful and celebratory. They want to acknowledge the good in a person’s life. I believe a funeral should offer hope. It should express gratitude for the good in a person’s life. I also believe that it should offer space for grief and loss.

Just one more sign of the hypocritical and unethical nature of the Trump Administration.
Trump administration sues California over its redistricting plan, months after a similar GOP-led effort in Texas met no resistance from the DOJ

EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic.

Just another example of how anti-trans rhetoric and policy not only harms trans and nonbinary folks, but also cisgender people too.
Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Very tired of the mostly white perspective in this country that wants to put all things, particularly political things, on a binary. There are more than two sides. It’s not a line where center is best. And leftists are NOT the same at the Alt Right Christian Nationalists.

Given the way that various justice issues get affiliated with partisan politics in the US I understand why people get upset about politics in church, but here’s the thing, issues of human rights, social justice, and peacemaking are political and they of the upmost concern to Jesus.

I understand people being upset about the ballroom & the demolition of the east wing of the White House, but it does no good to see Democrats taking the Press Secretary’s words about Trumps priorities out of context.
They are playing on our frustration & anger, but in a way that isn’t truthful.

IF there is a group of people to blame for the struggles and injustices in our country at this point it’s the wealthy.
That being said I don’t think the wealthy alone are to blame. Too often many middle and working class people buy into the lies the wealthy sell.

Honestly I’m disheartened by the number of progressive Christians I see that seem to be engaging AI with little to no prior engagement with the ethics of AI use. This includes but is not limited to the environmental impact of the data centers that support AI.

Our ability to survive, let alone thrive, as individuals let alone as a species is based on the quality of our relationships. When we place more trust in power and wealth than in relationships and networks of connection we doom ourselves to death, even before the grave.

The constant masking of ICE officers is the sign that it’s a shameful job.
How do we support employees of DHS in feeling empowered to no longer do the work of terrorizing immigrants and others? This could be through quitting or internal noncompliance.

Trump says he wants to make America great again. Regardless of what his unspoken/not public goals for his presidency are, I truly believe he is tearing this country apart and in so doing he is causing immense harm to so many people.
