We are too. It’s going to be delightfully(trying to be positive) rough. Our timing is excellent.🤦🏻‍♀️

Reminder: “Family Values” isn’t really defined or expressed by ideologues hating gay people or beating a hollow drum about babies. “Family value” means actually recognizing that every man and woman are made Imago Dei and treating them accordingly, as part of Christ’s family, and acting accordingly.

That’s half the battle. Set strong boundaries, and it helps. Everyone know where they are and what’s expected, then importantly, follow through with consequences if they aren’t.

I also can’t help but notice all the people talking about how awesome manufacturing jobs are have never actually had one themselves.

Dehumanizing. And who the heck cares about due process unless it’s for themselves. I mean really. Truth is dead and there is no shame.

He certainly does not believe the gospel is transformative. The great commission is evidently passé.

This is Neri Alvarado, a baker from Dallas, pictured here with his 15-year-old brother.

Today, Neri is suffering in a prison camp in El Salvador—one of the most violent prisons in the world. A thread. 🧵

My friend has one and she loves it!

Today my 7yo’s Ukrainian classmate was deported back to a war zone. But you know, own the libs or whatever

Many Republicans seem to think that the Trump war on "DEI" is really only aimed at illegal race-based preference. Nope. Nope. Nope. Trump's also aiming at entirely legal and virtuous attempts to honor American civil rights heroes and to educate Americans about the Black experience in the U.S.

Arlington Cemetery Website Loses Pages on Black Soldiers, Women in Military and Civil War The cemetery, which is operated by the Army, said it was working to restore the content. Among the obscured pages was material about civil rights.

"Don't tread on me" is wholly incompatible with "Love your neighbor as yourself."

You can only choose one.

SOTU seats are not assigned. There are general seating areas for each body (House, Senate, SCOTUS,etc) but there are honored seats for each party’s leadership and they’re even trying to squat those.

If it doesn’t sort out, be aware you may see applause on both sides of the aisle but they may be GOP

Already hearing that Republican members have been showing up to the House floor trying to take up the Dem side seats for the joint address 💀

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

huh, turns out character DOES matter

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

This is one of the most shameful things I've seen in my life. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people are fighting for their lives, and MAGA is all up in its feelings because no one is allowed to disrespect Trump. He can be grotesque, but everyone else has to genuflect. Pathetic.

Every abuser, ever.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

Made this to drive home the point. This will not end well for him. Or us.
