Is anyone else noticing much more conservative content on your #tiktok #algorithm or is it just me?

I've spent more time discerning if our #church should switch to oil candles, than #djt has discerned an ethnic cleansing.

I wish that was a joke.

I hate when I'm right lol

We need to practice #mercy as well, and help #deconstructing #maga voters.

Don’t expect a virtue signal from everyone.

Some people are doing quiet, behind the scenes work that requires them to shut the fuck up, and you are making that job harder.

If you want to be loud, that’s fine, there’s a place for it. But that’s not everyone’s place.

For real. We should all be working on things right now, that can't be posted on social media.

Y'all are going to hate me for this, but be sure you are providing off ramps for deconstructing Trump voters.

I'm not saying you have to be best friends with them, but we are going to need them in the midterms and beyond.

Not to mention, we are also called to mercy.

We are gathering to strategize, organize and mobilize.

God is still speaking.

Clergy friends, meetings are taking place. We are strategizing.

If you haven't been invited to these meetings and you definitely haven't heard of them... you need to ask yourself and your congregation why that is.

I really appreciate the pastoral visit I was just on, for grounding me during a time of chaos.

Black Women continue to lead with resilience, brilliance, and creativity. They're turning platforms like #TikTok into virtual #HBCUs, creating spaces for learning, growth, and empowerment—making a way out of no way, as they've always done.

Therefore, 59 violates the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion."

UCC, DoC, Episcopal, ELCA, Presbyterian, MCC, UUA, American Baptists, Alliance of Baptists, Quaker, UMC, Church of Brethren, Mennonite USA, Moravian.

The House is in direct violation of the US #constitution with HR.Res.59 attempting to suppress Rev. Budde.

Within 59 is the claim that Budde's sermon was a "distorted message." This claim cannot be made, unless they literally ESTABLISH a correct message she could distort.

Wish us luck!

Tomorrow is my congregation's first Sensory Sunday!

Excited to record a few new episodes of @overturningtables.bsky.social the #podcast today with @revderekterry.bsky.social

We could really use your help spreading the word! Our podcast deals with moving #progressivechristianity from concept to practice. So spread the word!

The beauty of mercy is its clarity. The same person who condemns the violence of an assassination attempt will feel no contradiction in urging the same president not to choose violence in leadership. Mercy is not an agenda; it is a way of life.

Dear Progressive Church,

This is our moment. Don't let it go. Rise up.

So, are we just not going to talk about the fact that Trump just destroyed the ability for many elderly people to afford their medication and that the US government just made a very shady investment in AI?

Check out our #podcast where we take #progressivechristianity from concept to practice!

My only concern with #bluesky is that we have so much autonomy, that we are creating echo chambers.

Are we just preaching to the choir when we control the full algorithm?

I've been posting on Meta still, cuz y'all already know!

#progressiveclergy #progressivechristian

And just to clarify, I am not saying that the salute wasn't a big deal. What I am saying is that it appears, on my algorithms, as if we care more about the solute than the policies and substance of what was enacted yesterday. Where should our attention really be?

The salute is a BigMac. It's real and it did happen. I'm sure it feels good to destroy it now, but you are going to wonder why you are hungry and don't feel good just a few hours after eating it.

We need to learn what distractions look like.

"Yes we can build a city, but do we have the will power to build a city where every child has a future, where every family has a home, and where every community flourishes."

"Yes, we can thrive economically, but can we do it without hurting our neighbors. Yes, we can build neo-coliseums to support our city and our small businesses, but do we have the courage to do it, without displacing poor folk."

"To be a city that feels the burden of shame and guilt when yet another poor citizen is forced to leave their home, because they cannot bear the weight of gentrification. Today is a chance to create a new, alternative vision, one that King would be proud of, and to do it together."
