Several years ago, the #PCAGA had the chance to declare that political violence was anti-Christ. A clear, well-written and -researched statement was presented to our national meeting for approval.

It is deeply to our shame that we weren’t willing to pass it.

We are not leaders, but captives.

Chris Murphy, a mainstream Democrat from Connecticut, is rebooting himself as an economic populist, Gilad Edelman reports. Can he get his party to do the same?

But [American Christianity], desiring to justify [itself], said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” #TheScandalOfTheEvangelicalMind
“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks.

“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.

“I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status.

“What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

DO NOT accept the resegregation of our nation. Know our history, share our history, talk about our history.
Medger Evers was a champion of the Civil Rights movement, murdered for his activism. Jackie Robinson was a hero who broke barriers on the baseball field. Both served our nation honorably during WWII, but their history of service is being erased. Who does this erasure serve?

UNREAL. ICE implies in a sworn declaration that MOST of the Venezuelans sentenced to hard labor in a brutal Central American prison without charge or trial or so much as a cursory hearing had never been convicted or even charged with ANY CRIME whatsoever, not even a trivial one, anywhere, ever!

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall.

I will never bow down.

"Vladamir Putin has never had a job outside of government. He is now worth $200 billion. He built a house for $1.2 billion. He wears a watch worth $500,000, despite his official modest salary. He got that money by stealing it from the Russian people."

I sometimes beat myself up that I didn't warn my conservative circles enough about the dangers of Tr*mp. But I just re-read an essay I wrote 18 mos. ago and dang if I didn't. If I can be faulted, it's that I put it in long form rather than bullet points.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this.

The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

The United States is not a serious country anymore. Would be happy for us to give up our nukes voluntarily, like South Africa, Libya and Ukraine did when they faced changing political circumstances. This is only partly tongue in cheek.
