I just signed up for @kanopy.com with my library card! You can add multiple libraries which gives you tickets to stream movies, documentaries, etc. Just by adding two of my library cards, I now have 42 tickets for the month! It’s Libby for media! I love it!

Found this on my phone as I was cleaning old photos. These feel very appropriate in this moment.

“Questioning government, politicians, and the media are all signs of a healthy democracy, one that values free and critical thinking. Trump’s exhortations do the opposite… he is closing his followers’ minds to disconfirming evidence and arguments.” ~@cultexpert

Twenty Lessons, read by John Lithgow Key selections from On Tyranny, for viewing and sharing

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is the book I needed when I was in seminary 30 years ago! This book is precisely why studying history is so important!

Take care of your neighbors and friends, you're going to need community more than ever.

Opinion | The Donald Trump Leap of Faith Angels for sale. Only $1,000.

Paula White -- Trump's chief spiritual adviser -- is offering access to angels (and a Waterford Crystal Cross), for the low, low prices of $1,000.

When I watched March of the Penguins with my dad, we learned that they take turns being on the inside & outside of the huddle so everyone gets a chance to warm up. My dad said “sometimes, animals are better than humans.” #Penguins are exactly the mascot we need to remind us to care for one another.

Teslan-Americans have reached protected status faster than any minority in American history.

Something to think about

This has become my daily routine… while I hate that I have to reach out to my senators and representative so often, I’m thankful that @resist.bot has made it so easy to do so.

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

Dear @Doge

If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Bishop Mariann Budde gave us a masterclass in holding political leaders to account. In her sermon at the National Cathedral, she didn't prescribe policy, but proclaimed what Christians believe & called for those values to be upheld. More of this! Kaitlyn Schiess on 🎙️Holy Post 654

You bet I read Bishop Budde’s book over the weekend. I have so much respect and appreciation for her vulnerability, caring & humble heart, and taking her calling so seriously.

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”

James Baldwin

Inspectors General are key public servants tasked with holding our government accountable. They’re independent, nonpartisan whose work is identifying fraud, waste, & importantly, abuse. Trump just fired them all. Make no mistake: he's purging those who will protect the rule of law.

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

Jesus used His power to protect, to expose, and to restore dignity. He calls His people to be in the world using our power under His authority, displaying His character by speaking truth, shedding light, and tending and protecting the vulnerable.

When we hear justifications, excuses, blaming, or a focus on the sins of another, we can be sure we do not have true repentance.

INJUSTICE ANXWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE. WE ARE CAUGHT IN AN INESCAPABLE NETWORK OF MUTUALITY, TIED IN A SINGLE GARMENT OF DESTINY WHATEVER AFFECTS ONE DIRECTLY AFFECTS ALL INDIRECTEY AL ABAMA 1963

I HAVE THE AUDACITY TO BELIEVE THAT PEOPLES EVERYWHERE CAN HAVE THREE MEALS A DAY FOR THEIR BODIES, EDUCATION AND CULTURE FOR THEIR MINDS, AND DIGNITY, EQUALITY, AND FREEDOM FOR THEIR SPIRITS NORWAY 1964

TRUE PEACE IS NOT MERELY THE ABSENCE OF TENSION ITS THE PRESENCE OF JUSTICE
