Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

No one is free until all of us are free.

We need to see more of this from our politicians.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

ICE is a branch of the American religion.

An Inquisition to fight against the heresy of diversity.

It is served & supported by religious fanatics for whom violence is a form of worship.

And it is evil to the core.

It’s not that white people are are against feeding kids, affordable healthcare and any of the other things being called woke or Marxist, it’s that white people are against it for people they view as inferior.

They are against it for immigrants, BIPOC and LGBTQ+.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Love the verses around it as well.

Proverbs 24:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength being small;
if you hold back from rescuing those taken away to death,
those who go staggering to the slaughter; if you say, "Look, we did not know this"-does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it?
And will he not repay all according to their deeds?

We have over 16 centuries worth of historical data on Christians building/aligning with empires and doing awful things to each other and others.

Stop insisting that bad actors are not “real” Christians.

Humbly sit with the fact that many real Christians do not follow Jesus. 1/6

This is trailing off while talking because you realize no one was listening and no one notices.

This is monologuing when you finally have someone to talk to so people say you talk too much.

This is waiting for a break in the conversation to add something but the break never comes.

The Autistic Coach | Matthew (he/they) @theautisticcoach.bsky.social · 4d

Being autistic often feels like standing in a room and slowly fading out.

You speak - and nothing lands.

People nod at others.

Never you.

They don’t hear you.

Literally.

It’s not misunderstanding.

It’s hierarchy.

They decided we weren’t important.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

END VIOLENCE.

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 5d

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data.

Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling.

Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force."

Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

Growing up Pentecostal (my bible college prof said we weren’t evangelical but, come on, is just evangelicalism w/ magic), I call Pentecostals to hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.

If God still heals and works through the supernatural, why would the gospel ONLY be spiritual fulfillment?

The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.

Trey Ferguson @pastortrey05.com · 5d

A disembodied gospel is no Good News at all.

The gospel is incarnational.

I believe that we will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

If we're all connected, why can't we seem to get along?
And why does every road I take to leave just bring me home?
And why does the journey feel so lonely
It's been so long
And will these questions matter when I'm gone?
