After being raised in the Christian nationalist apocalyptic death cult, it drives me absolutely bonkers that the people perpetrating their version of Armageddon wouldn’t recognize Jesus if he strolled down the street in downtown Gaza today.
They would call in airstrikes.

Where are the pro lifers of my militant evangelical youth?
If any of it was real, not solely to subjugate the vulnerable to gain power, it’s time to stand.

There is a vigil in 45 minutes. I am still feeling sick from tear gas and not going.

But at 7pm CST, whoever you are and where ever you are. Go to your street corner. Light a candle. If you are someone who prays, pray.

Shine a light for Minnesota!πŸ•―

a Catholic priest leading a Eucharistic procession to the ICE detention facility and getting turned away... and very publicly calling that out... this, my brother in Christ, is exactly what the church should be doing. Well done.

I've said it before & I'll say it again: actually understanding what's happening is a survival skill in the 21st Century.

Also a survival skill: holding that knowledge without being defeated by it, such that you can still function and move forward, doing good things.
