And don't tell me they don't have the money. They always find billions to build new stadiums for wealthy team owners and give tax breaks to companies who never actually build the factories they promise. We could find money for food and medicine. Not doing so is a sin.

Those states are: Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Virginia. That's 37% of the US population right there. Dems could help 2 in 5 Americans survive, almost immediately.
but no, just posturing.

There are 16 states where #dems control the legislature and the governorship. If they actually wanted to help working families, they could fund #SNAP and #ACA subsidies for their residents. Instead just more feckless hand-wringing.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.

You mean the Discord? I joined a month or two back, right after I joined DSA. I thought it was pretty quiet! But the hiatus explains it! Any idea when things might get going again?

"There is a crack, a crack in everything / That's how the light gets in". Leonard Cohen wrote one of the most profound theological statements ever. 🇨🇦

I went to an HBCU. There are plenty of reasons to want to go to university with people who share your common heritage. Avoiding ideas that you find uncomfy is not one. University is about being challenged.

I'm not talking about people of the same ethnic background, and neither were you. You explicitly cited opposing political viewpoints as a reason not to attend a certain school. Don't conflate the two things. Also, there's nothing "progressive" about supporting a genocidal apartheid ethnostate.

Just got this beauty from David Zahl at Mockingbird. Can't wait to tuck into it. #TEC #Anglican #theology

"Which is shed for you and many" is the best one. <3

Boycott, Divest, and Sanction is a Christian imperative

So, throwing sandwiches is good, but BDS is bad? That seems to be the message from your feed.

Pope Leo XIV: “Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life”

Is going to university about shielding yourself from opposing viewpoints?

Praise God!
