I am a human made in the image of God, and so are you. Unless *you* are a bot. Jesus is King. Also, His Kingdom is not of this world.

Clergy sexual abuse is not an affair; pedophilia is not about struggling with difficult circumstances; molesting adolescents is not about a struggling marriage. Such things must be called by their right namesβ€”the abuser needs to be held responsible for his/her abusive behavior.

Huge slap in the face to democracy. Democratic Colorado governor, @colorado.gov, just publicly signaled clemency to Tina peters, convicted of election interference. If election crimes have no consequences, why would the next denier stop?

β€œI worry that the church that I call home [...] has repeatedly failed the test of charity as it relates to the treatment of its female clergy in particular.

Special Saturday Triad: What I Saw at the Battle of Minneapolis The national media has moved on. Minnesota is still under siege.

β€œCitizens are neither stopping nor impeding the government’s work. They are merely documenting it. And for this affront, the government treats them as adversaries to be controlled, intimidated, arrested, beaten, and occasionally killed.”

Stephen Colbert Roasted CBS Over James Talarico. Here’s Why It Matters. The FCC didn’t need a ban. It changed the risk, and the fight is now playing out on air.

CBS declined to broadcast the James Talarico interview.

Stephen Colbert took it to YouTube.

He aired it anyway.

That’s holding the line.

We’re All Minnesotans Now Let the North Star State give us direction.

"That’s why it’s important that Minnesota be not just a shining example of what can be done. It needs to be a harbinger of what’s going to be done. It needs to be a model not just admired but emulated. We should all be Minnesotans now."

This is a truly horrifying memo. It says that the policy of the US government will now be to proactively seek out and arrest likely tens of thousands of refugees who entered legally under Biden and subject them to detention, where they will be interrogated about their status.

The Disastrous First Year of RFK Jr. The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appallingβ€”and it could have been avoided.

"It is beyond comprehension that the Senate confirmed this man to oversee America’s health. The risks are so immediate and constant that it can be difficult to keep track of them all."

Christianity does not look like praying and singing and giving money while ignoring the screams, unspeakable suffering, filth, and death of others. Christianity is not calling others *them*β€” somehow unlike us, not human, deserving of their suffering.

A Theory of Cultural Life That Is Under Attack The closure of the Kennedy Center imperils a core American belief: that democracy and the arts are deeply intertwined.

This is the only article I've seen that highlights the disastrous impact on the National Symphony Orchestra musicians.

Oppression is literally a crushing of the image of God in humans. To say or do nothing when power is abused is to contribute to the defacing of God’s image in others. In other words, it is to join with the enemy of God, who sought to destroy that same image.

One thing that is really bothering me about the emphasis on Alex Pretti as an ICU nurse and an exemplary neighbor is that his death still would have been senseless, evil, unjustified if he were unemployed and surfing 4chan all day. "Model" citizens are not the only ones whose lives are sacred.
