Donald Trump is trying to gut the Department of Education — the agency that makes sure that students with special needs are supported in our public schools.
So I asked: How has the Department of Education supported a student with special needs in your life?
Have you heard? I’m cool now.

One study projects that the bill would make it “virtually impossible” for 24 million eligible Americans to vote. This is voter suppression — plain and simple.
Leaders in the #UMC offer words of warning, encouragement and some practical advice on what to do when ICE agents knock on church doors looking for people to deport.

“I see your color and I honor you. I value your input. I will be educated about your lived experiences. I will work against the racism that harms you. You are beautiful. Tell me how to do better.”
... That’s the goal.
Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Jesus called them to defend the poor, the oppressed, and the hurting.
Stop manipulating Jesus for the benefit of a few. Get to feeding, healing, and peacemaking.
Tell me you’re a clergy parent without telling me…

The United Methodist Council of Bishops has released a Pastoral Letter in response to the United States elections earlier this week.
"Our baptismal vows call us “to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves.” We therefore reject rhetoric, policies, and actions that demean or discriminate against any of God's children...” #UMC
