The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth.

Jesus was poor. He constantly condemned the rich. The Gospel is for the poor and oppressed. Judgment is for the rich and powerful. Any “preacher” who tells you otherwise is a charlatan and an antichrist.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Americans not being allowed to use TikTok while other nations still can feels very similar to when I wasn't allowed to see Harry Potter in highschool when all my friends could. Embarrassing.
