Give me just one thing that Trump has done to better the lives of anyone not white, cis, male and in his inner circle. Just one.
So we really want to be this? A place where fear, anxiety, and threat is the model of governance?

Until Israel suffers some consequence it will continue to violate the human rights of Palestinians, enforce an unending occupation with violence, and murder Palestinians with impunity.
They have never been held accountable. Never.

Israel is continuing an offensive on the West Bank city of Jenin that analysts say is meant to appease the settler movement as it pushes the government to exert more control over the occupied territory in preparation for annexation.

We who have been in the pulpit (especially since Trump) have been charged with being too political when preaching the gospel. The gospel is political: feeding the hungry, caring for the alien in the land, showing mercy is political.
If the gospel makes you uncomfortable, that is on you.

GOP lawmaker files resolution to condemn Bishop Budde for her sermon. Ridiculous assault on religious liberty. Gov.'t shouldn't decide which sermons are acceptable or not. This sadly fits with how Trumpian politicians & preachers are responding to Budde (publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/brave-serm...)

It appears that the condition of the hostages released by Hamas are in good condition.
On the other hand, the Palestinians released by Israel are not.
This matters. 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤️❤️❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

This is what many of us do. But the apparent majority of Americans voted for only themselves and were deceived. Bigly.

True disciples of Christ are not afraid of curiosity, diversity of thought and person, and function from a place of love that places our neighbors in our scope of concern.

To resisting an unending, violent, illegal occupation is not terrorism. The enforcement of that unending, illegal occupation with violence is terrorism.

Ok, so I am new to this platform. There are many posts that I agree with here but "hearting" it feels completely inappropriate.
So, how do I express support for a post without "loving" it?
