Super funny as a Lutheran to also be a Magic fan because every so often the word "synod" comes up in a card name, and none of them can pronounce it correctly.

One day after the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Association of Evangelicals came out against the Pentagon’s plan to livestream an execution, Pope Leo has published a tweet reiterating the Catholic Church’s opposition to the death penalty.
Pope Leo XIV • @Pontifex• •4h

The death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person. The common good can be safeguarded and the requirements of justice can be met without recourse to capital punishment: effective systems of detention have been developed that protect citizens while at the same time do not completely deprive those who are guilty of the possibility of redemption.

They're called sexual predators for a reason. Men! Talk to your friends. Talk to your sons and brothers. Ask them if they understand consent. Hold accountable their sexism. Show some backbone. Stop being cowards. Stop protecting rapists and assailants and harassers among you. They're the bad guys.

This has a bit of a blow-by-blow of her attack which is hard to read. Survivors, feel very free to sit this out. Kiiiinda want all men to read it, though. Y'all need to bear some of the discomfort women have been bearing.

YES! The Hastert Rule is THE SOLE REASON the House did not pass immigration reform in 2013-2014 when Boehner had every opportunity to pass immigration reform. Even factoring out the pedophilia (which you shouldn't), he did just as much damage as Gingrich did.

It should have upended his LIFE but because he is a rich white man he got to leave public office and rake in more $$$ as a lobbyist. Only 13 months served, and that for hush-money not the fucking CHILD sex abuse.

I came into the office today on a normal WFH day to help out and it's absolutely exhausted me. Trying to get up the cojones to tell my boss that I agreed to one office day a week and will not also be in Thursday.

An alleged attack on Democratic Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton remains under investigation but the incident has made one thing clear: Acton’s closer-than-expected race against Republican Vivek Ramaswamy has become extraordinarily toxic.

With Ohio’s governorship up for grabs, a toxic race turns violent
An alleged assailant forced his way Sunday toward Democratic candidate Amy Acton at a county fair, officials and witnesses said. Authorities said he was carrying two pistols and a Taser.

Barber says a church that doesn’t stand with immigrants “being terrorized” should “take church off the sign and put ‘club’ up instead.”

And, like, I'm not usually a "demons" person in the metaphysical sense but DAMN if it doesn't feel like it. And as a faith leader I know I'm supposed to offer some words of encouragement here. The best I got is, God is weeping alongside us. We're not alone in the shit.

*hug* I had a cry-fest over this a bit ago. So many of my parishioners who have given their lives to serving others (voting rights lawyers, building housing, etc) are literally dying of broken hearts, and the people doing the awful shit are just, totally fine and untouched.

Like. How did we as Church start pushing the very things Jesus rejected as the things we should be striving for? Empire is a hell of a drug.

Smarter people have said it before and will say it after me, but I am once again reckoning with the fact that everything Christian nationalism promises its adherents is exactly what Jesus Himself rejected during the temptation. Security, physical safety for me not for thee, political power, etc

I have a parishioner who, MULTIPLE times a day, sends out incredibly depressing news articles. Usually with no added commentary or context. I know he means well, but it feels so bad to constantly get these. I'm already working with migrants! I already got arrested! What more do you want??

We had dinner with my Chinese immigrant in-laws last night, and we talked about America. My MIL said that living in America, a place that values freedom, gave her permission to become the person she wanted to be. If you’re looking for something to celebrate today, I think it’s a good place to start.

here is what i think: we're not consumers or spectators, we are participants with agency. you should not hope that democrats will do anything. you must work to force them to do the right thing. the odds are long, but we are far from the first americans to face long odds. we will win.
