Ask yourself this question. Why are Christian Nationlist now interested in normalizing chattel slavery and it's so called benefits?

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called β€œkids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. A judge ordered Martinez and a co-defendant released pending trial.

It is abundantly clear (and has been for a while) that many people of faith do not know the difference between Christianity and white Christian nationalism.

They practice the latter but mistake it for the former.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

'No evidence' found yet of ties between Charlie Kirk's shooting and left-wing groups, officials say Three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News that investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups.

Let me get this right. You can lose your job for a joke Trump doesn't like, but keep your job for literally calling for the euthanasia of homeless folks.

Seeing so many white Christians defend Charlie Kirk while ignoring, minimizing, and dismissing the concerns of so many Black Christians is exactly what compromise and complicity look like today.

The second man found hanging from a tree in Mississippi is Corey Zukatis. He was, reportedly homeless. They are not yet saying these two "deaths" are related. I will say that finding 2 men hanging from trees in good ole Mississippi are a little sus

To borrow from Nina Simone, Mississippi, god damn! Two men found dead hanging from trees within 24 hours of each other. Law enforcement officials say no foul play is suspected at this time, but Mississippi has a history of strange fruit that is not easily forgotten.

After watching the VP and Stephen Miller on theCharlie Kirk Show today, it is clear they intend to use his murder to incite a government sanctioned Kristallnacht against their political enemies. 😑

Today, we honor and remember the souls lost on September 11, 2001. I intentionally chose this photo as a reminder of the brief moment when our nation stood united, regardless of our differences. An all too short moment! I pray for an enduring revival of that time when we were all Americans.

I never liked Charlie Kirk. He spewed hate and distorted the gospel of Christ. However, his death is not a cause for joy. Instead it is a time for somber reflection on the dark abyss that is now the United States. An abyss where we have become numb to violence and hatred.

Charlie Kirk in Utah and two students at Evergreen High School here in Colorado. Lord have mercy on us all!

Today, the majority of United States Supreme Court Justices have rendered the 4th amendment meaningless by ruling the ICE doesn’t need reasonable suspicion to round-up folks based solely on race, ethnicity, and language. This will not end with our Brown folks. We live in dark times!

If you’re reading this and you’re tempted to believe the now en vogue counter narrative about America chattel slavery, I suggest you pick up a copy of this book or any other slave narrative to read the firsthand accounts about the cruelty and evil of American chattel slavery.

Let us be clear the President and others attempts to minimize the cruelty of chattel slavery is not simply about rewriting history. It is an effort to return to a social order where Blacks β€œknew their place.” A place in American history where this nation forced an inferior status on Black folks.

60 years ago, the Voting Rights Act bent the arc of history toward justice.

It was a sacred victory won through blood, prayer, and persistence.

Today, that legacy is under threat.
But as people of faith, we know:
Protecting the vote is a moral calling.
