San Diego and Chicago when I’m lucky. LFGSD and COYS. Still trying to figure out why Manny wore that stupid T-shirt. Big fan of Canada and Mexico. I’d boo us too.

I am an election worker and I say this constantly. Work at any election, see how hard it is to throw an election. The machines that check you in & the machines that count the ballots are not connected to the internet. He would have to go in and physically mess with every machine. It makes no sense.

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

And, right, looking toward the viewer, a woman with chin-length silver hair in a rather voluminous pink dress of some sort.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

STATEMENT FROM
MATT MOBERG,
CHAPLAIN OF THE
MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES

IF YOU’RE A CHURCH POSTING
PRAYERS FOR PEACE AND UNITY TODAY
WHILE MY CITY BLEEDS IN THE STREET,
MISS ME WITH THAT SOFTNESS
YOU ONLY WEAR
WHEN IT COSTS YOU NOTHING.

DON’T DRESS AVOIDANCE UP AS HOLINESS.

DON’T CALL SILENCE “PEACEMAKING.”

DON’T LIGHT A CANDLE AND THINK IT
SUBSTITUTES FOR SHOWING UP.

TONIGHT AN ICE AGENT TOOK A PHOTO OF ME
NEXT TO MY CAR,
LOOKED ME IN THE EYE AND TOLD ME,
“WE’LL BE SEEING YOU SOON.”

NOT METAPHOR.
NOT HYPERBOLE.
A THREAT DRESSED UP IN
A BADGE AND A PAYCHECK.

PEACE ISN’T WHAT YOU ASK FOR
WHEN THE BOOT IS ALREADY
ON SOMEONE’S NECK.
PEACE IS WHAT THE POWERFUL ASK FOR
WHEN THEY DON’T WANT TO BE INTERRUPTED.

UNITY ISN’T NEUTRAL.
UNITY THAT REFUSES TO NAME VIOLENCE
IS JUST LOYALTY TO THE ONES HOLDING THE
WEAPONS.

STOP USING SCRIPTURE LIKE CHLOROFORM.
STOP CALLING YOUR FEAR “WISDOM.”
STOP PRETENDING JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED
BECAUSE HE PREACHED GOOD VIBES AND
PERSONAL GROWTH.

YOU DON’T GET TO QUOTE SCRIPTURE
LIKE A LULLABY,
WHILE INJUSTICE STAYS WIDE AWAKE.

YOU DON’T GET TO ASK GOD TO
“HEAL THE LAND”
IF YOU WON’T EVEN LOOK AT THE WOUND.

THERE IS A KIND OF PEACE
THAT ONLY EXISTS
BECAUSE IT REFUSES TO TELL THE TRUTH.

THAT PEACE IS A LIE. AND LIES DON’T GROW
ANYTHING WORTH SAVING.

THE SCRIPTURES YOU LOVE WEREN’T
WRITTEN TO KEEP THINGS CALM.
THEY WERE WRITTEN TO SET THINGS RIGHT.
AND SOMETIMES THE MOST FAITHFUL THING
YOU CAN DO IS STOP PRAYING AROUND THE
PAIN AND START STANDING INSIDE IT.

IF THAT MAKES YOU UNCOMFORTABLE—
GOOD.

GROWTH ALWAYS IS.
