Nic Olin, MDiv.

What I want is justice; rolling down like a mighty river.
Righteousness, like a never-failing stream.
Let your faith be more than a performance.
Let it be a force that heals, restores, and sets people free.”
Amos 5:21-24 for the American Church

they mean nothing to Me when justice is ignored.
Stop the noise of your praise bands and choirs.
I won’t listen to another worship song
while the poor are crushed, the marginalized silenced,
and the oppressed left waiting at your doors.

“I’m sick of your Sunday services.
I can’t stand your worship concerts, your polished sermons, your packed auditoriums.
Your prayer breakfasts and revival weekends
I want nothing to do with them.
Even your offerings, your tithes, your charitable campaigns

We can’t let this happen.

And any Republican who refuses to renew health care subsidies for hardworking American families, saying we can’t afford it, needs to explain how they found $1 trillion in tax cuts to give away to the wealthiest people in America.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

The Epstein Recess continues.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

We Paid Some Etsy Witches to Curse Charlie Kirk If the far-right misogynist with a bad haircut wants to villainize independent women, Jezebel is more than happy to be the hag of his nightmares.

This was published September 8th. She paid the $50 spell booster for the “Make Everyone Hate Him Spell”. I don’t condone violence. He was a bad man who deserved the “shit his pants hex” but not death.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Found the article. They had to put a disclaimer in today

Or the deaths of two children in Colorado after another school shooting

You all wanna bet this is a distraction from the Epstein files and Kirk drew the short straw?

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Yes, it is wild. And disappointing.

I am so, I don't know a word to describe it.... Today we had another school shooting. 2nd in 2 weeks. Yet MSM is only talking about CK. Reminds of man hunt for United CEO's shooter all over MSM and zilch about multiple people murdered not far from CEO shooting same day in New York.

Kirk’s shooter has conveniently gotten away. The guy FBI interrogated was let go. In a few days there will be some kind of “person of interest” released to the public and it will somehow be a leftist who will probably be labeled as trans.

Sounds like they needed another distraction from Epstein… and so they created one.

The quotes aren’t tributes. They are calls that political violence in America shouldn’t be happening and prayers for his family. They say nothing good about Charlie Kirk because he was scum.

in 2001 an article was published by Mimi Abramovitz called "Everyone is Still on Welfare: the Role of Redistribution in Social Policy". 24 years later the problem is even more exasperated by hoarding of wealth by the top 1%. The original article this is based on is even older from 1983.

Imagine being this hateful.

Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.

Most companies are not closed on Labor Day. The things closed are schools and banks and federal agencies. Everything else is still open. Most are having sales to increase their profits. The only day that is close to a fully shutdown day is Xmas
