Happy National Coming Out Day!

With you, God is well pleased. Being gay is not a sin- but bigotry and hatred are.

Donald Trump is terrified that Portland’s commitment to democracy, diversity and the common good will ultimately defeat the MAGA movement. He’s right.

#Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump.

I agree with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley.

The United States should recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Now.

Here’s what is happening: the government is trying to silence opponents of the white Christian nationalism that #CharlieKirk embodied. There has never been a time more important to be outspoken against white Christian nationalism, a false Gospel rooted in white supremacy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJMgSCL/

Hey y’all. This is Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie. On various platforms, a short video I posted responding to Charlie Kirk’s murder has been viewed over 5 million times. As you might expect, there’s been…feedb...

FOX News must fire Brian Kilmeade.

Last week, on-air, FOX News host Brian Kilmeade called for the mass extermination of people suffering from homelessness and addiction. “Just kill ‘em,” he said.

Jesus said that whatever we do to the least of these, we do to him. Kilmeade wants “involuntarily lethal injections” for those on our streets, including veterans, and his co-host, Lawrence Jones, wants people experiencing homelessness to be locked away in prison camps.

No apology will do. Kilmeade (and Jones) should be fired, and FOX News should condemn their Nazi-like solutions to the problem of homelessness.

Why are Trump and other MAGA politicians so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee.

Reminder: Sen. Mike Lee’s Twitter posts following the murder of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were so offensive it set off debate at the global headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Lee’s tradition) and he eventually took them down. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Update: I am saddened that gun violence in the United States has taken another life. My prayers are with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with all those working to end gun violence.

Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie @revchuckcurrie.bsky.social · Sep 10

Our response to MAGA should be non-violent. The ballot box is our greatest weapon. We have to break the cycle of violence in the US. I am praying for Charlie Kirk, as Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies. My prayer is for his health, & that God use this moment to soften all our hearts.

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee. Today he said: “When we go there — if we go to Portland, we’re going to wipe them out.” Living in Portland, Trump said, is “like living in hell." (Cont.)

Dear Immigration And Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents: Many of you are good people. Some of strong faith. You are tasked now not with enforcing US law, but with abusing the #humanrights of others. Honor your love of country. Resign your positions. This is a hard ask, but a moral one. #ICERaids
