All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.

Jesus is my King & no other.
I’m no country’s patriot, because I belong to the Kingdom of God.
Patriots defend their county from its enemies.
The Kingdom of God needs no defense, but works on behalf of & for its enemies.
Just like the example of our King.

• not by our “rightness”
• not by how we debate
• not by how we convince others of their sinfulness
But they will know we are Christians

Jesus, help us to be peacemakers—being kind, gentle, patient, self-controlled, and loving to everyone made in the image of God."

I'm not by any means a full time moderator even of my own timeline. But I do try to keep an eye on things the best I can.
Sharp disagreement is welcomed and expected.
Accounts promoting political violence, conspiracy, and hateful language will be blocked when I see them. Peace.

When our Christianity makes the ultra wealthy and powerful feel safe and supported and the poor and powerless feel unsafe and unsupported, that is when we can be sure we are following someone other than Jesus.
