It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.
He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.
Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.
Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

Memphis part 2! Today at noon I’ll be spilling the tea on lethal injection in TN and the US more broadly. Plus, how might studying executions for 7 years inform what a community of faith has to say about the death penalty? I’d love to see you at the First Congregational Church lunch & learn! ❤️🙏😉
