If the United States commits war crimes, those who gave the orders and those who carried them out should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Let justice roll.

If Jesus were born today, and fled as a refugee with his family to the United States to escape death as a child, Donald Trump and his ICE agents would separate him from Mary and Joseph- and deport him. The MAGA agenda is incompatible with God’s teachings. Remember that this Christmas.

Hope resists. It is in resisting evil that hope comes alive. Hope is soul food. It nourishes our spirit even during difficult times. Hope, however, is not passive- it is a call to build the Beloved Community.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day has been blessed with family, friends, and good food! Peace be with you!

Be like Jesus.
Love radically.

Ruth is my (step) sister-in-law. Right now, she is facing the scary prospect of losing her life without a kidney transplant. We cannot allow that, friends. If you know of someone who might be a donor, please reach out. (Cont.)

Liz and I were excited to briefly say hello to Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner and advocate for girls and education. A real treat. Malala Yousafzai is on a book tour for her latest, Finding My Way. A true person of courage. May God continue to bless and keep her.

It isn't being gay that is a sin. It's the bigotry and hate directed at the LGBTQ+ community that is truly sinful. It's a sin to oppose marriage equality, it's a sin to oppose anti-discrimination law... TikTok video by Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie

It isn't being gay that is a sin. It's the bigotry and hate directed at the LGBTQ+ community that is truly sinful. It's a sin to oppose marriage equality, it's a sin to oppose anti-discrimination laws, it's a sin to oppose employment protections, because it is a sin to oppress another.

You know who would make an excellent replacement for Chuck Schumer as Democratic leader in the U.S. Senate?

Jeff Merkley.

Chuck Schumer seems ready to cave to Donald Trump on the government shutdown. I just made a contribution to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. My hope is that she will be the next U.S. senator from New York State. Democratic leaders who fail this test need to step aside.

I was a hungry child, and you went to court for permission to cut food benefits.

Jesus had harsh words for those in power who allowed hunger and poverty to thrive. To those who allow such suffering, Jesus said: “Depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25:40-41 NRSV)

If you’ve ever wondered how you might have responded to the rise of fascism in 1930s Germany, our times will provide your answer. This is a Red Alert moment- and our response to rising authoritarianism must include all of us. If you have never been politically active before, know this: neutrality or inaction in the face of authoritarianism is, in fact, an endorsement. Be bold. Be brave. Be courageous.

How are you reacting to the rise of Fascism? This, from @revchuckcurrie.bsky.social ⬇️

Donald Trump is terrified that Portland’s commitment to democracy, diversity and the common good will ultimately defeat the MAGA movement. He’s right.

#Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump.

Oregon senator leads call for U.S. to recognize Palestine as a state Nearly 150 members of the 193 that make up the United Nations have already recognized Palestinian statehood.

3. Oregon senator leads call for U.S. to recognize Palestine as a state www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

Congress: Recognize Palestinian Statehood None

2. J Street States: “US recognition is the only way to slam the door on annexationist fantasies and refocus diplomacy on the path to peace.” Tell Congress to support recognition of Palestine at act.jstreet.org/sign/congres....

I agree with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley.

The United States should recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Now.

Here’s what is happening: the government is trying to silence opponents of the white Christian nationalism that #CharlieKirk embodied.

Jesus said that whatever we do to the least of these, we do to him. Kilmeade wants “involuntarily lethal injections” for those on our streets, including veterans, and his co-host, Lawrence Jones, wants people experiencing homelessness to be locked away in prison camps. No apology will do. Kilmeade (and Jones) should be fired, and FOX News should condemn their Nazi-like solutions to the problem of homelessness.

FOX News must fire Brian Kilmeade.

Last week, on-air, FOX News host Brian Kilmeade called for the mass extermination of people suffering from homelessness and addiction. “Just kill ‘em,” he said.
