"A few days ago he went on Twitter complaining about ICE not coordinating with local police in Kansas. He’s desperate. He’ll probably be listing his pronouns on his Twitter bio by November." 😂 Never change, Josh.

He sent a harsh email to ICE's top official. 5 months later, federal agents tracked him down
Federal agents went to a Rochester man's home to warn him that an email he sent five months ago could be an illegal threat. He was on vacation but another agent found his hotel hundreds of miles away.

A good excuse to quote my dearly departed theology professor, Shirley Guthrie, who said he couldn’t be a universalist, simply because some people will get to heaven and be so disgusted by all the people they hate being there that they’ll demand to leave.

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

Story time. Tony Campolo was preaching back in the 1980s and said, while we were sleeping last night, 45,000 kids died of starvation & malnutrition, and what’s worse is folks don’t give a shit! And even worse, some of y'all are more concerned that I said ‘shit’ than you are over dead kids

I had a beloved theology professor who, when someone asked whether he thought everyone ends up in heaven, responded, "No... some people will get there and be so disturbed by who else is there that they won't want to stay."

I couldn't quite nail why @anamariecox.bsky.social's comment resonated so much with me. But you did. I am not against persuading people. That's important. But many people invoking the word persuasion constantly are just status quo defenders. The term civility serves the same purpose.

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.
