Our children deserve better than the injustice of the Supreme Court.

On this day in 2018, as part of that year’s MN Poor People’s Campaign, @propheticimage.bsky.social held an action in Mayor Frey’s office called “Beloved Community Means No Police.” We built a grave in his office for victims of police violence.

A tarp on a carpeted floor with dirt being poured onto it in the shape of a grave mound. People are standing or seated around it.

Stay safe today. Always have a way to escape. Help others. And do not talk to police. #NoKing

When the government kidnaps, it is the righteous who stand against state violence. Stay strong. Resist authoritarians. Assist Californians Against Brutality!

It is very much worth a read/re-read. There's a serious way in which seeing that get published by NYT in that season felt like a real win (there is a funny side as well, if you know that Mariame famously doesn't like to write, even though she has released several more amazing books since then).

Cis-heteronormativity has never been the default for humanity. It has always been maintained through violence and power structures. Pride is a reminder that the fullness of humanity cannot be extinguished no matter how hard oppressors try. Pride is a rebellion against oppression. #HappyPride

Why does God harden Pharaoh's heart? What is this staff of the God(s)? Who is getting circumsized, who's feet (ha!) are being touched, and who is Zipporah's Bridgegroom of Blood? What does it mean for God to hear us? And where does God's penis enter the story? Listen now to find out!

While our political system seems to be bent of increasing hatred, it's nice to see local leaders stand for acceptance and equality.

Maundy Thursday is a reminder that the same Jesus that lowered himself to wash feet, is the same Jesus invoked to celebrate the "deportation" of innocence to death camps. It's ironic that so many Christians will celebrate the resurrection of life this weekend while having worshipped death all week

Any time I being up Nazis being a Christian movement, I always get someone saying "Hitler wasn't a Christian" as a means to discredit the statement. Christofascism isn't about being Christian, is about using Christian supremacy to gain power and carry out the logical conclusion of that theology.

If one thing is completely clear from the last week, it's that a large portion of our society will only challenge fascism after it harms the stock market. Evil is when people care more about the economy than violence against other humans.

Today is the 80th anniversary of the death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. A man who is known for standing up to the same fascism we must stand against today.

In light of all these tariffs, now would be a really good time to develop a sense of class consciousness. Trust me, you have a lot more in common with the people you look down on than the people who look down on you.

Contrary to what the president thinks, supporting, affirming, and seeking care for you trans child is love, not abuse. Abuse would be using your position of power to target, harass, and harm children.

The White House is reestablishing white justification for slavery in an executive order.

Screenshot from the White House that says "The exhibit further claims that "sculpture has been a powerful tool in promoting scientific racism" and promotes the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct, stating "Race is a human invention.'

Those who support oppression do not have to speak about it when they hold the power. They can just have their leaders speak and watch harm grow. Those who oppose oppression can choose silence and still personally oppose the harm. But, in doing so, they speak the same words as those who support it.

If we cannot speak out without punching down on marginalized groups, we should choose to not speak. Comparing politicians to children, using the r slur, or whatever, we are saying they are on the level of that marginalized group and that group is not worthy of dignity, respect, or equality.

If all we needed was better translations of the Bible or correct theological interpretation, things would be easy. Unfortunately, ideology determines theology and ideology is much more difficult to change.
