Heading home with very little sleep! The early wake-up is hitting hard, but it was worth it to spend time with friends and make new ones at the Ember Gathering. Now, time for a travel day back home. #ProfsOnAPlane

Don’t usually do back-to-back trips, but I’m Oakland bound & headed to the Ember Gathering to speak, reconnect with good friends, and maybe make some new ones from across the country. Cut the winter beard too…trying to step into spring. #ProfsOnAPlane

Flying to Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary in Elkhart, IN to kick off Pastors & Leaders Week. This year the theme is Resistance, Resilience, and Rest, and I’ve been tapped to deliver 2 lectures on resistance. Looking forward to reconnecting with lots of good people✊🏾 #ProfsOnAPlane

How to melt the ICE in your neighborhood

"A cold front will maintain the freeze. It takes more than a one-time exposure to the heat to get rid of the freeze. It must be a sustained and prolonged exposure for the long haul."

We know that when white people stand up for the rights of Black & Brown people, their whiteness won't protect them. In the eyes of white supremacists, they are race traitors and deserve what happens to them. Ask Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, ​Viola Liuzzo, Jonathan Daniels, James Reeb, et al.

The fact that ICE has now murdered multiple white American citizens in #Minneapolis is unveiling that the same racialized state violence built to target Black & Brown people spills over to white people resisting the status quo. Black people have lived this our entire time in this land. #LinkArms

I was just supposed to follow clergy leaders as they did a pilgrimage from George Floyd Square to RenΓ©e Good’s memorial.

But then when we got back to the landing spot, we found out an observer had been attacked by ICE agents who had been tailing the religious leaders.

From me today in Minneapolis:

I am reading this now ☺️. Dr. Hart's voice, knowledge and experience in racial justice are so vital for this time.

Maxey had 34 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists. Put respect on his name. #Sixers

I enjoyed #StrangerThings all the way from Season 1 to the finale. Some of the final episodes felt a little preachy but I think it was an attempt to provide closure to so many character arcs.

I like how sixers are playing so far. Embiid is moving better each game. And his scoring is improving accordingly. #Sixers #PhilaUnite

Sometimes it's the simple gifts that make you feel seen and understood. This gift was just dropped off by my neighbors/friends. Christmas is your invitation to join God's nonviolent insurrection against empire and death-dealing systems.

Sixers injury report for tonight vs. Nets:

Embiid is probable after missing time from illness.

Barlow & Grimes are questionable with illness.

Unfortunately Oubre & Watford are still out.

And Tyrese Maxey is at 200% health.

Let’s go Sixers. πŸ€ #Sixers #PhilaUnite #nba

It’s almost time. I’ll be offering a virtual lecture and conversation hosted by Perkins School of Theology’s Black Church Studies program, digging into why Anabaptism and the Black Church have something important to offer in this moment.

Join December 4th at 7pm CT/ 8pm ET. Hope to see you on Zoom.
