Can't wait to see Christian nationalists wearing chainsaws around their necks instead of crosses. Because this is their God now.

(In other words, if you don't immediately recognize MAGA as blasphemy, you are so far down the theological rabbit hole that I don't even know if Jesus can help.)

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, ProPublica’s analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

You should print out your Social Security Statement. Elon and who knows how many countless others now have access to your private information, so it'd be wise to have a record of it.

A tremendous post from Diana Butler Bass in light of everything going on in our country...
This Sunday’s gospel raises urgent questions for now:

What do you do when the mob turns ugly? When widows & lepers, LGBTQ people & immigrants, are afraid & treated cruelly-and when a brave prophet calls out self-righteous brutality?

Can you say no to the crowd? open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

What about those who don't go along with the mob?
