Chuck Schumer seems ready to cave to Donald Trump on the government shutdown. I just made a contribution to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. My hope is that she will be the next U.S. senator from New York State. Democratic leaders who fail this test need to step aside.

I was a hungry child, and you went to court for permission to cut food benefits.

Jesus had harsh words for those in power who allowed hunger and poverty to thrive. To those who allow such suffering, Jesus said: “Depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25:40-41 NRSV)

How are you reacting to the rise of Fascism? This, from @revchuckcurrie.bsky.social ⬇️
If you’ve ever wondered how you might have responded to the rise of fascism in 1930s Germany, our times will provide your answer. This is a Red Alert moment- and our response to rising authoritarianism must include all of us. If you have never been politically active before, know this: neutrality or inaction in the face of authoritarianism is, in fact, an endorsement. Be bold. Be brave. Be courageous.

Happy National Coming Out Day!

With you, God is well pleased. Being gay is not a sin- but bigotry and hatred are.

Donald Trump is terrified that Portland’s commitment to democracy, diversity and the common good will ultimately defeat the MAGA movement. He’s right.

#Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump.

I agree with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley.

The United States should recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Now.

Nineteen years ago this week, I was ordained as a minister in the United Church of Christ. I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve God in this way. For 38 years, I’ve been blessed to work as an activist, educator, and minister.

Here’s what is happening: the government is trying to silence opponents of the white Christian nationalism that #CharlieKirk embodied. There has never been a time more important to be outspoken against white Christian nationalism, a false Gospel rooted in white supremacy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJMgSCL/

FOX News must fire Brian Kilmeade.

Last week, on-air, FOX News host Brian Kilmeade called for the mass extermination of people suffering from homelessness and addiction. “Just kill ‘em,” he said.
Jesus said that whatever we do to the least of these, we do to him. Kilmeade wants “involuntarily lethal injections” for those on our streets, including veterans, and his co-host, Lawrence Jones, wants people experiencing homelessness to be locked away in prison camps. No apology will do. Kilmeade (and Jones) should be fired, and FOX News should condemn their Nazi-like solutions to the problem of homelessness.

Why are Trump and other MAGA politicians so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee.

Reminder: Sen. Mike Lee’s Twitter posts following the murder of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were so offensive it set off debate at the global headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Lee’s tradition) and he eventually took them down. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Update: I am saddened that gun violence in the United States has taken another life. My prayers are with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with all those working to end gun violence.

Our response to MAGA should be non-violent. The ballot box is our greatest weapon. We have to break the cycle of violence in the US. I am praying for Charlie Kirk, as Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies. My prayer is for his health, & that God use this moment to soften all our hearts.

Dear Immigration And Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents: Many of you are good people. Some of strong faith. You are tasked now not with enforcing US law, but with abusing the #humanrights of others. Honor your love of country. Resign your positions. This is a hard ask, but a moral one. #ICERaids
