I am a Queer Progressive Christian minister. I serve a God who reflects that queerness. I serve Jesus Christ, the crucified God who suffers and dies alongside us the sufferers.

Hegseth’s god is the imperial eagle. In its power it is nothing. In its dominance it is dust

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Federal prosecutors in Minnesota were preparing to start a civil rights investigation into Renee Good’s shooting.

Then top administration officials intervened and ordered them to stop, triggering a wave of resignations in the process.

What is the regime trying to hide from us?

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

Something important to understand about ICE thugs in the Twin Cities is that they're harassing innocent kids and parents at bus stops and schools every single day. Even after the Pretti shooting. It's terrorism.

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

This is the pink jacket lady’s angle. (From Drop Site News)

Horrific. Bovino is a stone cold liar.

Pretti wasn’t attacking officers, he had just helped a lady they assaulted and had gotten pepper sprayed.

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

“We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn’t mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy… The powerful have their power. But we have something, too: the capacity to stop pretending.”

“They're going to lose their immunity. They're not going to be able to drive. I will take your driver's license. Good luck walking to work, assholes.”

It is during this Epiphany that the world was made witness to a brutal murder of an American citizen by an ICE agent. It is impossible to deny that the United States is totalitarian. It is impossible to deny that we have chosen to invade other countries in order to grab their resources.

Epiphany is about Jesus’ coming out. It is Christ revealing Himself to the world as He truly is. It can be recognized as a celebration of the moment wherein God blurs boundaries and categories and becomes a human being or revealed godself as having always been one with humanity.

I know when I "peacefully" protest at the Capitol, I always smear my poop on the walls. 🙄

Stephen Miller, who wants the U.S. to steal Greenland and shake down Latin America, says: ”We live in a world … that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”
That‘s a criminal pretending that a civilized world is impossible.

As a Queer Progressive Christian, I oppose the tyrannical regimes that undermine human flourishing in order to bolster the egos of fragile men. May justice flow like a river against Empire.

…concentration camps, and extrajudicial murder of the Trump regime - the egotism of empires and despots stands as a stark contrast to the cosuffering love of God
