Our economic system depends on violence, even celebrates it, a reality that liberalism tries to dodge by inventing friendlier versions of capitalism while society fractures around them. They tell voters they will make it easier to climb the ladder when the problem is the ladder itself. - Sarah Jones

If our Christianity causes us to get more angry at the idea of a poor person possibly “abusing the system” than we do about the most powerful and wealthy people in our country creating a system that crushes the poor and makes it impossible to get by, we need a grand reversal.

A Christ follower cannot tolerate that which belittles someone's sacred worth.

It's telling that we read the story of Jesus feeding thousands with some bread and a couple of fish and think "wow, Jesus does cool miracles." And not recognize it as a lesson about sharing communal resources to ensure no one goes hungry.

Peter, James, and John, fishermen, were looked at in this same way in ancient Roman-controlled Palestine (Judea/Judah, Samaria, Galilee) by the powers that be. Jesus emboldened them. Empowered them. Gave them dignity. We are to do the same.

"We're not a democracy, we're a #constitutional #republic." An attempt to sound smart, but in reality, ignorant. Knowing a constitutional republic is a representative #DEMOCRACY is basic middle school social studies.

"Americans will understand" that billionaires won't be affected by the completely avoidable price increases about to hit us. No, Mr. President, we don't. #tariffs

"Born-Again Christian," Speaker Mike Johnson, finds the teachings of Jesus to be divisive, political, and too radical. Let that sink in. . #inauguration #jesus #christianity #congress

Franklin Graham sold out Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. Do not follow such "leaders" that cast their lot for power.

THREAD: Mr. Jeffress is showing us a classic example of idolatry. It's not the job of a preacher to make a leader "feel good." A preacher does not work for nor answer to the president or any leader. Their job is to preach God's truth with preferential treatment for the marginalized.

I've never understood the flex of "hard work." I don't value it. I value honest work. Quality work. Authentic work. Honorable work. Fair work. Righteous work. I value creative work. Smart work. Efficient work. I don't value hard work. Hard work doesn't define character.

I "love" the irony of senators/reps from states whose existence is subsidized by #California 's taxes have the gall to say we shouldn't send aid or restrict it with conditions. Blatant #hypocrisy
