Fundamentalist faiths make religion dangerous to others, but Christianity properly lived is dangerous to Christians. It’s dangerous to people who refuse to hate those they are told to hate, to people who refuse to oppress, to conquer, to exploit — even when they’re told to conquer in the name of God

“Even worse, parents and kids learned together to use their phones. We all experienced these new technologies at the same time, and we often behaved no better than our teenage sons and daughters. Our kids were taking notes as social media broke our brains and hardened our hearts.”

It was predicted that Ukraine would collapse in hours or days, but it has stood strong for years, inflicting devastating losses on Russia. It would be an intolerable and catastrophic failure if the Trump administration delivers Putin a victory through diplomacy that he could not achieve in war.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.
