I urge my clergy colleagues this - stop using “brothers and sisters” as an address to a group of people.
This phrase leaves out anyone who is struggling with gender or identifies with a non-binary gender.
Try “siblings”, “beloveds” or “brethren” instead.
Be like Jesus and welcome EVERYONE!

"Democrats will be under pressure to fight for their LGBTQ+—and especially their transgender—constituents. With a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, they have the power to block the funding bills until the riders are stripped, though doing so would trigger a shutdown. "
1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people.
His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority.

A story designed to break my heart specifically: "The Phelans ran the only bookstore in Vermillion, South Dakota. They sold it and moved after a new law would have required their daughter to use a boy’s bathroom."
A family opened a town’s first bookstore. A bathroom bill is driving them away.

Pretend to explain this to your children. Try and write that quote and feel the pain. Ask your representatives to see this and for them to write it down. #Momsky

The point of Senator Booker's filibuster is to be INSPIRED by this man to go find YOUR ROLE, not to wait for them to go save us now.
That is not this assignment.

Senator Cory Booker -- nearly 23 hrs into this -- is more coherent than your average elected official speaking (while seated) at an average legislative hearing.
Even if you haven't been watching all along, dip in for a moment -- he is making considerable sense:

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

If you’re tired of @schumer.senate.gov constantly falling for the okey-doke and you want bold winning leadership that is willing to go on offense, then #TheReformers is for you. We are calling for Sen Schumer (D-NY) to step down from his leadership role and let someone else take over the reigns.
