I see the stock market still cares about *some* things (yikes).

Too bad the markets don’t care about, you know, fascism.

It was definitely explicit in their constituents, but yeah. Not part of the platform.

Bob Stevenson @bobstevenson.bsky.social · 21h

Nope.

Foreign born.

Not dangerous threats to society.

Foreign born.

This is about killing immigration period.

Please listen carefully. Not illegal immigrants. Foreign born.

This is about nativity. Not rule of law.

You’re welcome to your own beliefs as well, obvs. I’m convinced that it ain’t make believe, for a bunch of reasons.

And. An all powerful + perfectly good being doesn’t = no evil.

Well, only if you believe that it means a creator necessitates we’re robots. But that’s not Christianity.

Look. If you want to dunk on Jesus, I can’t stop you. If you’re willing to actually talk, I’ve got responses. Up to you bro.

What does Jesus have to do with that?

Evil people are the problem here

Hey guys, Jesus is amazing.

And his church is a gift.

And we’re not worthy of any of it.

But still he lavishes his grace on us.

Hallelujah.

I sometimes wonder if one of the far right CN trolls I've been studying for the past year is working the DHS twitter account. Because let me tell you, the overlap...

“If they don’t give you credit, you gotta take it yourself“ is the perfect summation of this administration’s internal logic.

Trump: "Please remember I wrote Osama bin Laden exactly one year ago, one year before he blew up the World Trade Center. And I said, 'You gotta watch Osama bin Laden!' ... I gotta take a little credit."

Came to church with a heavy heart, re: everything going on.

Still heavy. But seeing the saints and worshiping Jesus together is deeply grounding.

Yes grief, but in hope.

I suppose not all is lost. Despite all that’s going on in the world, Ben Marsh continues on his relentless—if quixotic—crusade against the beach.

I do think we need to have space/categories of anemic moral imaginations. There’s some folks who are just simple, and I mean that in the sense that proverbs uses it. Not that it excuses it… But it’s different than choosing evil because it’s evil.

Bob Stevenson @bobstevenson.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah. It breaks my heart.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America
