God is good. To anyone who has wondered if prayer, calling your elected officials, showing up to rallies, and speaking out is effective, let this be confirmation that yes, the people have power.

Within a day or two, the Republicans were going to have to choose between (a) conceding the ACA subsidies, (b) nuking the filibuster, or (c) allowing air travel to descend into total chaos.
The Dems, fresh off big election victories, let the GOP off the hook.
This is beyond betrayal.

If you measure your success and faithfulness as a Christian by your ability/power to force cultural change ... your faith is based on Caesar, not Christ.
Christ commands us to point to what is better and will be in Christ's kingdom via sacrificial example, not cultural control.

I’ve been called “intense” my whole life, so being labeled this right now is not new.
Something I think about often is that one day, when this nightmare—which will get worse before it gets better—is over, I’ll rest knowing my “intensity” was well spent in the moments that mattered the most.

That’s why authoritarians are so intent on demonizing it.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.
