Do I know any journalists or news outlets who might be willing to write an article about the months I’ve spent begging GoFundMe to release the funds I’ve raised? I wish this were more common knowledge so no one else finds themselves in this position. (Please boost!)

I am typically not speechless. But Julie leaves me speechless as she talks about the story of her people, which is also her story. I do not often buy a book before I hear the author speak on @herberthistory.bsky.social’s pod, but

Land is not scenery.
Language is not metaphor.
History is not neutral.
And women are not on the periphery.
This conversation with @jreedmo.bsky.social wrestles with what Cherokee land and language reveal about power, memory, and who gets to define meaning in America.

Yes, a worship service is sacred.
So is the image of God in your immigrant neighbor.
So is the image of God being dragged from his home in his underwear on a snowy day.
So was the image of God that bled out for 8 minutes while being refused medical care.

🧵As I'm prepping my class meeting on Native American genocide (example: Sand Creek Massacre), it strikes me that the sheer moral heroism of US Army Captain Silas S. Soule is particularly relevant in our current times.

Our reporter spent four years investigating ICE shootings that occurred from 2015 to 2021. Some patterns emerged.

This is my favorite Reckoning pod of the last 6 months: open.spotify.com/episode/5Gt9...
As much as I loved the #NottingHill pod & discussion, this one takes the cake.
#Reckoning continues to make one think, laugh hard, ponder, and walk around the world in general delight.

Friends, I am watching a local county commissioner meeting in which the commissioners want to shut down/consolidate two local fire departments and woooooweeee!!! this makes school board meetings look like child’s play. One of those commissioners invoked the name of Donald Trump & I am done. 🤮
