Finally got to see Sinners. What an incredibly brilliant and spiritual movie. If you walked away with the message that hoodoo is demonic then baby, you missed the whole plot. Huge take away— evil always needs an invitation to come in. Ryan is a treasure for real.

If you are eradicating the Education department, then that means student loans are eradicated too. I’m not paying a thing to a department that doesn’t exist 🤷🏾‍♀️

Hillary and Kamala both tried to warn us what Trump would do but this country hates women so much that it chose to FAFO rather than listening and voting accordingly.

HOLY SHIT. You need to read this in its entirety. Way too much to even begin to summarize but it's really, REALLY bad. It's just one agency, NLRB, but it's likely happening at others. We are under attack, seemingly from the inside. What's happening here should put folks in prison

A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

I’ve had to reconcile with myself that it is absolute valid for me to feel anger at the ways I’ve been treated the past two 1/2 years now that I see it for what it is. However, the key to healthy anger is to feel it but not be consumed by it. Anger should help us set boundaries not implode.

Today, I told my therapist about a situation that happened at work with my boss this week. When I got to end of the story my therapist said, “I am so proud of you.You have grown so much in two years in the midst of consistent disrespect. That’s something to be proud of!” I teared up.

The thing I hate most about this era is it is pushing our elders, who should be resting, to pull out there literal and figurative marching shoes to defend their rights and the rights of others. That makes me so angry!! Trump and his minions are out here robbing rest and rights!

This week was a beautiful and affirming week 🥰✨From learning my paper proposal was accepted for the in person meeting of the American Academy of Religion to receiving my graduation invitations in the mail. Whew 🥹😭 I am beautifully overwhelmed
An email that reads

The invitation, bordered in red, includes the seminary’s seal at the top and reads: “The Class of 2025 with the Trustees and Faculty of Columbia Theological Seminary request the honor of your presence at the Commencement Service on Saturday, the seventeenth of May, two thousand and twenty-five at ten o’clock in the morning.

Holding a congregation hostage to collect an offering is DIABOLICAL! What’s even more diabolical is people defending it and justifying it. Telling ushers to close/hold the doors sends the intimidating message “yall not leaving until I get your money.” This isn’t defendable. Period.

This is slavery. Full stop. To call it anything else is inherently dishonest. If the sheriff is not fired and then jailed, it will only be another sign of where our country is and the horrors that will keep happening.
