A Christianity rooted in patriarchy will always define women first and foremost by their relationship to men.

A Christianity rooted in the gospel of Jesus will always see women first and foremost as fellow human beings created in God's image.

May we understand the difference.

Cruelty has become the dominant politics and religion of our time and Christianity has been hijacked to justify it all.

Jesus said, "love your neighbor as yourself."

Not control your neighbor.
Not mock your neighbor.
Not shame your neighbor.
Not dehumanize your neighbor.
Not demonize your neighbor.
Not defeat your neighbor.

Jesus said, “love your neighbor as yourself.”

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

If our Christianity causes us to get more angry at the idea of a poor person possibly “abusing the system” than we do about the most powerful and wealthy people in our country creating a system that crushes the poor and makes it impossible to get by, we need a grand reversal.

Can't tell you how much I hate having to wake up each day and find out what fresh hell Musk and Trump have gotten up to since I went to sleep.

Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea?

The central tactic of authoritarianism is to try to convince you that you have no power and that you should just live in despair.

You do have power.

You do have agency.

You can make a difference.

You don’t have to do it all by yourself.

Banding together is the way forward.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the elderly on social security they paid into to be called a “parasite,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

It’s a broken society that loves its guns so much that it refuses to alter its relationship with them even for the sake of its children.

It’s a broken Christianity that not only sees nothing wrong with our society’s unholy love of guns but supports it.

Morning Joe decided to normalize relations with Donald Trump.

ABC News decided to hand Trump a $15 million settlement payment.

"Legacy" media wants to normalize Trump. We can't let it.
