Speak up for those
who have no voice,
for the justice of all
who are dispossessed.
Speak up, judge righteously,
and defend the cause of
the oppressed and needy.
—Proverbs 31:8-9

On Tuesday of Holy Week, Jesus warned that when we turn our back on prisoners, we turn our back on him (Mt. 25:43).

We used to all hold our breath hoping a shooter wasn’t a Muslim or a trans person.

Now we gotta worry if the air traffic controller was Black?!

Do you see how far they have moved the window?

Just here, hoping and praying that everyone who says they’re gonna return to Church because of Bishop Budde actually does it. Because gentle inclusive Christianity could use reinforcements, y’all.

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

Time to do some reading since women’s equality in this country hasn’t been in the news this much since I was 10. The ERA text here: www.congress.gov/116/meeting/...
