Flyer - NO KINGS! Evansville Resistance Protest, Saturday, May 24th, 2-4 PM, Evansville Federal Building, 101 NW MLK BLVD - Speakers, sign waving and march.

Speaking at the NO KINGS! Evansville Resistance Protest this Saturday, 2-4 pm, Evansville Federal Building.

So many layers of corruption.

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

Sincerely,

A pastor who is deeply troubled that people who claim to follow Christ think this is consistent with actually following the way of Jesus.

Dear citizens,

Do not be fooled by Indiana House Resolution No. 53 of April 15, 2025. It is rooted, at best, in a misunderstanding of the Gospel and, at worst, in a false gospel.

Something has shifted. Not normally one to get emotional when consuming news and trying to discern the most faithful way forward in light of the rhetoric of the last 24 hours. All I’m sure of is that it involves leaning into WE and not relying on me. What will we do? Who will we be in this moment?

This is the congregation I serve in Evansville, Indiana.

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe

Stop underestimating them

God, Spirit, Advocate, keep revealing truths where we are blind; keep healing us where we are wounded; keep moving us forward when we are afraid. May we remain humble, open, vulnerable, as we keep seeing power more clearly together. Amen. A Lenten Journey with Kathy Escobar's Turning Over Tables WJK

It’s Ash Wednesday folks… remember we are dust and to dust we will return.

Whether Nazis or the KKK, we cannot learn from the past unless we talk about the past. Time to interrogate history and the role of religion (and more) in getting to today. Everything is political.

I still support Ukraine.

We must not despair.

We must not devolve into cynicism.

We must press EACH PERSON who is elected to lead, TO LEAD!

Support Ukraine.

There is no way to actually answer the questions - they are distortions and the first set (ranking agencies) can be interpreted any way they want. Plus the other questions are so leading — what I deem “correct” has extra inflammatory language added.

Let’s see some billionaires find a way to fund these for Dreamers or others whose just entry into citizenship hs been delayed.

Maddow: That has never happened at this scale in this way before when it comes to programing changes, presumably because it's not the right way to treat people and it kind of drops the bottom out of whether or not people feel like this is a good place to work

I will look for these journalists elsewhere and would watch Rachel Maddow anywhere.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

All the best people - some of my favorites.
