Trump is trying hard to start a civil war.
We can’t give him that power.
We can’t feed into his narrative or his ego.
Let us rise up with the courage that this moment demands… fueled by love, rooted in nonviolence, steadfast in our faith.
Hate will not win.

I lament that the church has nothing to say in the face of white Christian nationalism. We backed Roman emperors, initiated the Crusades, imposed the Inquisition and the Witch Trials. We are silenced by our history. God have mercy.

Some claim "Christian nationalism" is just "loving Jesus" & "being patriotic."
Lots of social scientific evidence shows the "Christianity" of Christian nationalism is much more than that.
In fact, it brings with it 5 pieces of cultural baggage.

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations.
The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.
