“The way a government treats refugees is very instructive because it shows you how they would treat the rest of us if they thought they could get away with it.”

Explain to me why or how Trump can negotiate the war between Russia and Ukraine? It’s not even his war. #stayinyourlane

You can flip tables in protest, God will honor that.
You can set up tables to feed your enemies. God likes that too.

Every church leader I've talked to across MD, VA, and DC has somewhere between 12 - 20 individuals and/or families with their paychecks and livelihoods suddenly ripped from them by Elon Musk.

This is a pastoral emergency in every way.

"The free speech crisis hiding in plain sight isn’t about whether individuals can ever criticize powerful figures — it’s about whether institutions can withstand the pressure to self-censor in the face of legal and political intimidation..."

“You don’t ask the prophet to apologize. No, you repent.” Rev. Sen. Raphael Warnock referring to Bp. Mariann Edgar Budde from the pulpit at Trinity UCC in Chicago.

From Robert Reich.
RFK Jr. says he wants to "make America healthy again." So he's doing that by buddying up with the president who cut environmental protections, gutted food safety laws, and rolled back regulations on dangerous chemicals? Do I have this right?

Real truth being told here.

How can Dems have a coherent strategy to take on these issues? They were trying to govern while the Right just held things up. Let the American people start to feel the pressure from what’s going on. Someone will get ticked off.

I hear people saying the Dems are rudderless and silent, but where do you start to respond to all the “stuff” coming out of the WH? I am impressed that Dems are taking on different parts and doing everything they can.

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

With the wind chill hovering at -13, Daisy is sitting out the inauguration with her tennis ball on the heat vent. I might join her.

Good morning everyone. I have a new book out and it may not be for everyone. However, for the librarian on your holiday list, it is an interesting read. Or, if you have ever tried to manage something, give my book a glance.

“Don’t make Santa cry” is my new phrase when shopping with family members who put things in the cart or point out online that I have just bought or ordered for them for Christmas. They can wait.

For the mundane, I was the first person through TSA precheck at the San Diego Airport for my terminal. Yes, it was that early and still dark outside, very dark.
