The Future of Truth and Justice is at Stake Every day, Sojourners works to amplify the biblical call to justice by publishing nonprofit journalism, equipping people of faith for advocacy, and speaking truth in the face of hate. But we cannot co...

For years, I've supported @sojo.net because they take my values into the political arena in a way that's true to my faithโ€”emphasizing not power and nationalism, but God's call to justice.

Starting today, I'll match every donation at www.sojo.net/ricksteves, dollar for dollar, up to $50,000 total.

Iโ€™ve been reading Jon Fosseโ€™s Septology this week on the beach and just now reached the first stopping point, finishing part one(of seven) on page 189. I donโ€™t fully know what Iโ€™m reading but I canโ€™t deny its beauty, profundity, and captivating language. #reading #literature

Politico: For the most part, leading Democrats are ducking what is fast becoming the first real litmus test of the 2028 campaign: former President Biden's mental acuity.

This is far-right propaganda masquerading as journalism. Biden is an 82-year-old retiree who has no formal role in the Democratic Party. Meanwhile, the current president's brain continues to glitch over the word "groceries."

A flower meme illustrates the double standards of how the press covers Biden vs Trump.

Maga criticises the first American pope as not 'America First' Pope Leo XIV has expressed support for immigrants and criticism of JD Vance. Donald Trump's supporters aren't happy.

I happen to think the College of Cardinals probably looked at other factors as of higher concern, such as being โ€œChrist Firstโ€

Today, too, there are many settings in which Jesus, although appreciated as a man, is reduced to a kind of charismatic leader or superman. This is true not only among non-believers but also among many baptized Christians, who thus end up living, at this level, in a state of practical atheism.

dunno man it's small but in his 1st homily, Leo XIV seems to be coming for American white evangelicals and American Catholics' cozying up to them

We do not worship a creature. Far be the thought. For such an error belongs to heathens and Arians. But we worship the Lord of Creation, Incarnate, the Word of God.

If Miller wants patriots, maybe he should expend energy to make the country something people can be proud of. Just a thought.

Iโ€™m unsurprised (and happy) that Trump didnโ€™t speak a word about Jesus โ€” whom he doesnโ€™t know. We need less presidential pretense towards Xianity. MAGA is an antichrist movement antithetical to the Christian gospel. But for him to fail to mention his family reveals the depth of misery in his soul.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

Andrew obviously already is attracted to men (choosing pat downs? Come on, Freud), he just cannot admit it to himself, hence his crusade against homosexuality, which is at root a crusade of self-hatred.
