PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

We need you in this fight for American's future. Advice today from email from @sulliview.bsky.social: Princeton professor Eddie S. Glaude Jr. wrote about his restored resolve: “I have gotten myself together. Now I am ready to fight for a more just world. Choose your space and get to work.’
