Good words.
Please read.
Please share.

„Peace isn’t what you ask for when the boot is already on someone’s neck.
Peace is what the powerful ask for when they don’t want to be interrupted.

Unity isn’t neutral.
Unity that refuses to name violence is just loyalty to the ones holding the weapons.“
Statement from Matt Moberg, Chaplain of the Minnesota Timberwolves If you’re a church posting prayers for peace and unity today while my city bleeds in the street, miss me with that softness you only wear when it costs you nothing. Don’t dress avoidance up as holiness. Don’t call silence “Peacemaking”. Don’t light a candle and think it substituted for showing up. Tonight an ICE agent took a photo of me next to my car. Looked me in the eye and told me, “We’ll be seeing you soon.” Not metaphor. Not hyperbole. A threat dressed up in a badge and a paycheck. Peace isn’t what you ask for when the boot is already on someone’s neck. Peace is what the powerful ask for when they don’t want to be interrupted. Unity isn’t neutral. Unity that refuses to name violence is just loyalty to the ones holding the weapons. Stop using scripture like chloroform. Stop calling your fear “wisdom”. Stop pretending Jesus was crucified because he preached good vibes and personal growth. You don’t get to quote scripture like a lullaby, while injustice stays wide awake. You don’t get to ask God to “Heal the land”, if you won’t even look at the wound. There is a kind of peace that only exists because it refuses to tell the truth. That peace is a lie. And lies don’t grow anything worth saving. The scriptures you love weren’t written to keep things calm. They were written to set things right. And sometimes the most faithful thing you can do is stop praying around the pain and start standing inside it. If that makes you uncomfortable… Good. Growth always is.

In my deeply medicated state, I feel this.

Wait. I feel like this is something that has been widely know for decades? I grew up around horses and have always understood horses smell fear in humans and react to it.
