I don’t like using religion to make political arguments, but this particular litmus test was brought on by REPUBLICANS. So I’m just using their logic. Good grief, somebody please shut these people down!

I loved this band! Still do!
The odd one out among Bristol band The Sundays’ trilogy of albums, 'Blind' is a stalwart alt-pop record that refuses to fall through the cracks. www.pastemagazine.com/music/the-su...

I love this album! Congratulations to Beyoncé for this historic win! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beyoncé won the Grammy for best country album, becoming the first Black artist to achieve the feat. “I think sometimes ‘genre’ is a code word to keep us in our place as artists,” she said, “and I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about.” nyti.ms/3PZvgOW

Excellent by @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

Got the coolest thing yesterday from a donation pile! Jesus art (1962) made up smaller ones from His life. On the back: list of the drawing refs. It was too cool to leave in the pile! Let’s not discard the Love of Christ as we watch our current leader take His name in vain as he burns shit down.❤️

Ring them bells, Bishop Budde! ❤️👏🏼
The bishop at President Trump’s inaugural prayer service implored him to “have mercy” on gay, lesbian and transgender children, as well as undocumented immigrants.
“I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” asked Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Bishop Tells Trump to ‘Have Mercy’ on Immigrants and Gay Children
The direct appeal to President Trump at the start of the first full day of his presidency was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that has not historically been political.
