But I can’t imagine why the Dem establishment wouldn’t have jumped on the vision of passionate new voices who better rep the kinds of Americans they’ve been trying to understand for decades, except…welp, we also saw what happened when those brilliant Black & Brown women showed up & tried to save us

Today is the feast of St Andrew, one of the 12 disciples of Christ. According to his apocryphal legend, he was crucified on an X-shaped cross. As one of the disciples, Andrew was part of the catalogue of saints that missionaries brought to the Norse sphere from the 9th century onwards. (1/n)

May we learn from the life and witness of Dorothy Day, who died 45 years ago today.

The announcement of the Kingdom of God should be just as threatening to the imperial project of the United States as it was to the Roman Empire.

It’s 100% about gender. And since Christian Nationalists by and large have very patriarchal views of religion, family, and society theology is a man’s world to them.

The other immediate need in the US is the abolition of White Christian Nationalism. The emergence of White Christian Nationalism has been a slow build for decades. Trump has merely allowed it to take off its mask.

Without getting corporate money out of politics and enacting term limits for Congress and the Supreme Court I don’t anticipate the US political landscape getting much better.

This is wild. And unless climate change is dealt with I imagine more cities around the world will have to take similar measures.

A well constructed funeral service can hold these emotions and experiences that might seem to be at odds. We need not push grief and loss out the door in order to allow hope in.

This speaks to our cultures in ability to hold disparate multitudes at once.

I understand when people want a funeral to be hopeful and celebratory. They want to acknowledge the good in a person’s life. I believe a funeral should offer hope. It should express gratitude for the good in a person’s life. I also believe that it should offer space for grief and loss.

Kennedy Center ticket sales have plummeted since Trump takeover Nearly nine months into Trump’s oversight, sales for the three largest performance venues are the worst they’ve been since the pandemic, according to a Washington Post analysis.

EXCLUSIVE: After Trump took over the Kennedy Center in Feb, he vowed to make it "hot" again. So, how's it doing? @jeremybmerrill.com and I used data from the center's ticketing website to find out. Ticket sales are lowest they've been since the pandemic.

Just another example of how anti-trans rhetoric and policy not only harms trans and nonbinary folks, but also cisgender people too.
