Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act - Wikipedia

Reference for us Gen Jones and Gen Xers. “Ferris Beuhler’s Day Off.” Remember the Smoot–Hawley Tariff Act? Nuff said. Anyone? Anyone?

The other country that I hear tries to control haircuts is North Korea. Despotic behavior is never a good look.

Apparently he doesn’t want to be the next Dem president.

If the Iowa legislature is willing to take away rights from trans Iowans, none of us is safe because they will have proven that they only believe in rights for those who agree with them. Don’t think that you may not be next. “Our freedoms we prize, our rights we will maintain.” Or will we?

Given all the hate filled anti-trans bills and orders that are out there, it is import for me to say again that this pastor loves and supports the LGBTQ+ community. #BeUMC #Loveislove

This is totally unacceptable. If you don’t want people calling you or your party Nazis stop doing Nazi stuff.

Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment but the righteous into eternal life.”

DOGE is potentially coming for Social Security that we have all spent years of our lives paying for. The richest man in the world wants to steal our retirement. Is this what you voted for? Is this where America is going?

Americans like to think they are pragmatists. So when government officials aren’t following the rule of law some might think, “great, they are cutting through the red tape.” But when that law involves your rights or your loved one’s rights, your freedoms will be the red tape that gets cut.

“Trump to sign order to use Guantánamo Bay to house migrants - The Wall Street Journal”

This is unconscionable! The US doesn’t need internment camps. This is horrifying.

If empathy is only for yourself, it isn’t empathy. They also show no empathy for anyone with different views and ideas. I don’t think it’s vague. They totally lack empathy.

Get an ad blocker. The other denominations you mentioned didn’t recently go through a split and lose a lot of income.

I've reloaded the site multiple times. I don't get anything but UMC related ads.

Or her. In cases of the Bishop.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I stand with the Right Reverend Bishop Budde. She was simply teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. #BeUMC

This United Methodist pastor will continue to support my non-binary and trans siblings. God loves you just as you are. An executive order can’t change science or truth. #BeUMC

Tomorrow I will continue my sermon series from the Apostles' Creed. We will be sharing about Christ's death and resurrection. Join us in person and online at 8:30a or 10:30a "In essentials unity, in non-essentials freedom, and in all things charity." www.asbury-bett.org #BeUMC

Some strategies for caring for yourself in stressful times is to limit your time reading the news to a tolerable load. Stop doom scrolling for your own health. Then return to take stands on what is important to you. #BeUMC #SelfCare
