I believe history will one day scrutinize the church’s silence or complicity in the face of I.C.E.’s cruelty, racism, and state-sanctioned terror in the United States just as it has judged the church’s response to Nazism in 1930's Germany.

I feel like there's multiple headlines every day like "President Trump unveils scheme to sell stockpile of limb prosthetics for veterans to pay for gold-plated toilets on Air Force One and claims, without evidence, that immigrants are stealing the teeth from hard working white Americans"

I recently met @jonathan-foster.bsky.social at theology beer camp, and his gift for distilling deep theology into accessible insight left me eager to explore his work.

11 years ago today, 12 year old Tamir Rice was gunned down by police officers on Cleveland’s west side.
The officer shot him within seconds of arriving at the park he was playing in.
Tamir’s life mattered. It still does. My thoughts are with his family today.

Suggesting that science is or has “orthodoxy” is a fundamental misunderstanding.
Orthodoxy implies unquestionable dogma.
Science doesn't work like that: it’s a method designed to question, test, and revise if necessary.

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

When I was in highschool, I thought I came up with a knock-down argument for young Earth creationism 😂😬
Based on this:
"My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches"

Just a reminder, calling a woman “piggy” (though absolutely reprehensible) isn’t even close to the worst things Donald Trump has done to women, BY HIS OWN ADMISSION.
