Just posted an essay on the role of innocence in the defamation & defense of victims of state violence—only to be immediately greeted by another ICE killing. It's been mere hours, and already #Pretti's life is being scoured for fodder to defame him with... medium.com/@blessedaret...

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

I ended the night as the guest of queer, observant Jews who have been organizing nonstop against ICE. Observant Muslims fed us and everyone else at protests. An indigenous organizer spoke to us of the creator. Every church we saw had messages of inclusion and antifascism on their marquees.

But 100 clergy members were arrested protesting ICE yesterday. The vast majority of the people arrested during the general strike were there in the name of their god or gods.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I've talked to people on the ground about the strike here tomorrow, and the single thing everyone brings up is just how shockingly wide the support for the strike is. Businesses that no one would have expected to support it are doing so.

This #Advent, check out Tyler Mayfield's book on resisting #anti-Judaism when pairing #Isaiah with Mark/Matthew. This article summarizes part 1's exploration of how to simultaneously honor Advent traditions, draw from Isaiah’s wisdom, AND respect Jews' vibrant, living faith. #progressivechristianity

If you dared to resist the Roman Empire, you knew what end awaited you: You'd be stripped bare before a crowd and suffocated on a cross, your naked, battered flesh twisted into a warning to others to comply — or die. This is how modern Empire functions as well. #crucifixion #godoftheoppressed

Painting of Jesus being stripped by two roman soldiers, the vertical pole of the cross behind him. Text reads: "Above all else, crucifixion was a spectacle: the Roman Empire making a show of its brutality in order to terrorize dominated peoples into submission.

"Don't fight hate with hate" is gaslighting meant to silence the oppressed and maintain the status quo

A prophetic challenge to churches that call themselves affirming and cishet individuals who would be allies — as well as to all of us who claim to support marginalized communities not our own. Read and ponder proactively: How far are you willing to go? how much are you willing to risk?

To prevent overwhelm, choose just a few of the pressing issues to focus on — or even just one. Just one that you make your passion, devote time and energy to. We all are more helpful digging deep, not spreading ourselves thin. You don’t have to keep on top of it all — that’s what community is for.

Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak. The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership. We can do this. More:

Scream this from the rooftops. The whole thread should be required reading for Christians, but this part especially. The two greatest commandments in Christianity come from the Pharisees. Jesus is literally quoting Rabbi Hillel.
