A Lenten Fast
Tell each other something good.
Look for the helpers.
Share the good stuff.
Get closer to people.
Let them get closer to you.
Check your self-interest at the door.
Be an angel & serve somebody.
You are dust and to dust you shall return.
You are loved and to Love you shall return.

“You are the salt of the earth. You are who you are, and there’s no turning back. Remember who you are and give thanks for all of it, or at least make peace with it, even the really horrible, terrible awful, because you’re a warrior, you’re still here."

@steveinskeep.bsky.social #BadBunnyHalftimeShow was definitely political: shouting God bless America and calling out every country in America. Totally appropriate to the moment when one of those Americas is oppressing and erasing people from all the rest.

Yesterday at church one of the 90+ elders said to me "I think I'm finally getting older" and then noticed my newest tattoo and asked me about it.

That's all it takes. Curiosity, not judgment.

Looks like the FBI is bought and paid for.

In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

I also appreciated that the tall sugarcane fields were people dressed in costumes. Enslaved people died in the sugarcane trade. Last night they came to life. #BadBunnyHalftimeShow

TB and COVID-19 cases confirmed at ICE’s Camp East Montana jail in El Paso, just days after measles was detected at another Texas ICE facility, raising concerns over disease outbreaks in detention centers.

If you think the halftime show was a slap in the face to our country, think about why your face was out there to be slapped in the first place. The rest of us just fucking enjoyed ourselves. #badbunnysuperbowl

Bad bunny show has featured taco trucks, heterosexual weddings, and landscaping. I would think evangelicals would love this

The sin of Sodom right there.👇👇👇

"White supremacist is code for anti-White, and White supremacy is nothing short of an ongoing program of genocide against the White race. In fact, it's more than that: White supremacist is code for anti-human, a nuclear ideology that poses an existential threat to human existence." - Ibram Kendi

That’s what the gospel is all about: at our lowest, most despairing and hurting, Jesus says to us, “You are not alone. I am on your side.”

"Love your neighbor" makes America safer! Thank you @indivisiblenewark.bsky.social for inviting me to speak.

I may have a stroke.

Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”

A PROTESTant.

I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

Wicked!

And today the Treasury Department told me it wouldn't expedite processing of a FOIA for the agreement allowing Qatar to hold the money because it couldn't identify an immediate public interest.

To help out Treasury: It rhymes with corruption. It's also spelled the same as corruption.

It's fascism when the state gets violent with White people.

Otherwise it's sparkling White supremacy.

If you were in one of these camps and feared for your life, what would you call it?

I can see how this is getting us to own our own history but most American Japanese people survived internment. Let's skip to the end, call them concentration camps so we can prevent that horrible end from happening.

Now that they're killing White people with impunity, do you understand now why Black Lives Matter, why we need to defund the police, why us White people should've been showing up in numbers? Fascism has ALWAYS been here.

IT IS TIME TO ABOLISH OUR RACISM. BE AN ANTIRACIST.

"Jesus and his disciples would not be fishing for converts but for those the world has left behind. They would be doing God’s work of gathering those still in exile: the poor, the marginalized, those considered apart from God."

I came up with a chant for marches and protests. I put some universal good news in it.

"Love your neighbor"
Makes America safer!

"Why do we do this thing called religion? Religion isn’t necessary to know right from wrong; empathy is. We don’t need religion to teach us empathy or morals. So why do we persist with it?"

The reason why white evangelicals lose their minds over a non-violent interruption of their worship service and don't even blink an eye at a violent invasion of their neighborhoods is that they don't consider their neighbors as sacred.

Believing evil will lose is irrational. Because it means we have claimed a future yet to be born and it liberates our imagination right now. That's what faith is all about. And that's why evil has already lost. Because we keep on dreaming of a brighter day.
