May God grant us ears to hear, and the courage to respond in ways that are bold and faithful to Jesus.

He is being thrown to the ground, wrongfully detained, deported, and tortured. He is crying out for His mother and father who are being ripped from Him as He's being picked up from school. He is having slurs and derogatory jokes made about Him as He's rounded up with other Black and Brown people.

Excellent thread here, especially for parents or anyone who cares about youth development in these troubling times.

The fruit of this teaching is not peace-keeping or peace-making.

Forced obedience is a short-sighted enterprise that leaves families picking up the pieces long past the days when adults secure their own personal peace through “reigns of terror” over small children. 22/

who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice;

who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action";

But just as quickly as they started, they stopped.Back to business as usual.

We talk a lot about corporations backtracking on their DEI commitments.

We should also talk about church leaders backsliding on racial justice.

Thank you.

"Conservative" is not the word. It's "extremism"--and a host of other words.

But there is nothing conservative about what this regime is doing.

Their project is not conservative, it's regressive.

They don't want to conserve, they want to destroy.

We do not deploy American forces against Americans in our own cities.

Our military is not trained for domestic law enforcement.

It’s illegal and un-American.

The rogue shenanigans ICE folks are doing right now are just pure evil.

All eyes on Broadview, Illinois tonight.

Broadview is a suburb about 12 miles west of Chicago.

Our friends are reporting on the scene ⬇️

Christian nationalism is never about the faithful practice of Christianity. Thanks to @andrew-whitehead.bsky.social and @profsamperry.bsky.social for the reminder.

So disturbing. Can't wait to hear what they think of gleaning laws and that caring for the sick is caring for Jesus.

They're bulldozing through the Hatch Act. But they're doing that with a lot of laws. Because they know that no one will hold them accountable.

Accursedtudes. That'd a new one for me.
Your idea of from elsewhere?

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

So being against racism and fascism and standing with one’s community for self-defense is now considered a crime? Shame on UNC.

This is Dwayne Dixon. I know Dwayne and the students testifying to how great of a professor he is in the comments on Instagram are as shocked as I am.

NEW: Des Moines schools superintendent Ian Roberts was told by his immigration attorney in March that his immigration case had "reached a successful resolution" and been closed.

On Friday he was arrested by ICE.

I represented vets as an attorney and 100% agree. The way Hegseth talks about war explains why he spent his post-service years working to weasel known war criminals hated by their fellow soldiers back into polite society. Everything Pete does is about Pete—none of it has anything to do with America.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane
