When I saw it was 3k I was kinda tempted, but I'm sure it's way more than that now

No one is illegal in the eyes of God.

Also just a note, I'm not Jewish in any way. More power to you if that's the case, just not a part of my identity. 😂

Remember that antisemitism will always walk hand in hand with the Christian right.

If I was to create online courses, what would you want to see?

Again, not doubting that anti-Asian racism existed, I just don't see any connection between what I said and what you're saying I said.

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

I can't find anything that verifies that phrase being associated with anti-Asian sentiment

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Fully agree! We went from a neighborhood policing model to a cops on patrol in hostile territory model

I say all this as a car owner, who would love to not own a car. Being in rural Wisconsin, it's just not feasible if we want to see our parents or siblings ever again haha. Deprioritize cars! Prioritize walking and other modes of transit! Get out our the box!

Don't like the lack of local food options? We used to all eat locally, buying from neighbors which increased social capitol, but once again cars centralize our food production, at the cost of quality and community connection.

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Don't like modern capitalism? Cars enable (and encourage) consumers to shop at massive nationwide stores, where they get the best deals, and never have to have the inconvenience of walking somewhere, or talking to a member of their community. It encouraged this raging individualism we now have.

1431

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Don't like racism? Cars allowed white flight from mixed race neighborhoods. There is no redlining unless white people can drive into work. Cars directly allowed modern segregation.

Don't feel comfortable exercising? When giant metal boxes can cut you down anytime you step outside your door, it's hard to feel safe on the street, the main way any of us can get around. We used to bike everywhere, but this dropped after cars took over our infrastructure.

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Don't have money? We used to have very good public transit and intercity trains, but the car lobby had us defund both of those in the 40s-70s. Now everyone has to spend a ton of money on individual cars to get anywhere.

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Don't have a walkable neighborhood? It's because death machines fly by at killing speed down every street, and crossing said street literally risks your life every time.

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Don't know your neighbors? Many of us have garages, and never get within speaking distance

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

I'm convinced that a majority of our social problems come back to cars.

I'm not saying it would solve all our problems, but we should double NASA's budget.

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

The reason folks are pushing back on you is that people of color, who were approved to come to the US, were denied entry by the Trump administration. However, "refugees" who have questionable status as such are being welcomed because they're white. Those are factual statements.

310

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

I'm so proud of all the work we've done to welcome refugees in the US, it's one of the most Christian things we've done as a profoundly harmful nation. It's shameful that now those resources are only being used to resettle white Afrikaners, just embarrassing.

Fingers crossed the next pope chooses a cool name, such as Pope Hilarius the II.

Y'all notice how now that there's somebody with credible anti-Semitic allegations, the right is suddenly quiet?

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

A Happy Easter to you and yours! Also, a friendly reminder that Christ did not rise from the grave for us to keep oppressing marginalized people.

Wishing you all a sacred and contemplative Maundy Thursday.

I hope you have a contemplative Palm Sunday

Every person engaging in the new cruelty to immigrants is only a few generations removed from being an immigrant themselves. We love to shut the door behind us.

Anyone else dreaming about creating a progressive monastic community in the woods? Just me?

My daily prayer has been asking "where are you calling me Lord" again and again.

Praying for our leaders in the US, that God would guide them or replace them.

There are certain very rare situations where violence might be an appropriate response, but it should only be used to protect life. Preemptive violence is almost always sinful and unethical.

0180

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

I don't want anyone to act with violence towards anyone else. I have no intent or desire to act with violence towards federal agents.

Pr. Paul Drees @pastorpauldrees.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

I just finished making a video that may be misinterpreted, so let me put this out before they go live at 9:30am (cst) I think violence is abhorrent, and we should do everything we can to avoid it. I also believe Christ calls us to compassion, especially towards marginalized people.

Praying for the Palestinian people, and friends facing cancer diagnoses.

This is a concentration camp. There is a concentration camp in my county. The administration is in the process of deputizing & converting state & local “correctional” facilities into concentration camps as well. The presence of concentration camps speaks largely about a society’s barbarity.

No shower for days, cameras trained on the toilet, women crammed into cells 'like sardines,' among the allegations.

So I've finally decided what I'm giving up for lent. I deleted almost all social media apps off my phone (save Bluesky). I'll report in and see how it feels!

A small alter with candles, incense burning, and images of a few saints.

I've faced this as well, random bans for unspecified reasons. Last night during my tiktok live, I was given a community guidelines violation with no explanation. Social Media companies put bans on creators and don't explain why, it's just another obstacle we face. pres-outlook.org/2025/03/pres...
