Hi, all. A few things about me:
1. My Christian faith is the most important thing to me, but I’m completely disenchanted with white American Evangelicalism. I love talking about the Bible, Jesus, theology, church dynamics, etc, but I’m tired of predictable, condescending Evangelical takes. 1/

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.
ZELENSKYY: Putin broke the ceasefire. What kind of diplomacy, JD, are you speaking about?
VANCE: I think it's disrespectful to come into the Oval Office and try to litigate this in front of the American media

I have just finished reading Danielle Sassoon’s memorandum in its entirety.
It is a tour de force.
Its correctness is obvious.
She’s an American hero.
Emil Bove ought to be investigated by his state’s bar association for discipline and possible disbarment, at least.

Incredibly moving Justin Trudeau remarks:
"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people....Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us."

After white American evangelicals corrupted an ancient, liberative Christian faith, it was a female bishop from a sacramental tradition who finally had the courage to speak truth to his face.

If we weren't at such a weird moment in history, the collapse of Assad's regime would be widely understood as a huge success for the Biden administration, which pursued sanctions on Russia and Iran as well as Syria, armed Ukraine and thus weakened Russia, and supported Syrian democrats and activists
