You’re supposed to feel emotionally drained and exhausted. Because you are a human and this is wild behavior. We don’t have to live like this. We do not have to allow him to rule.

3. Ask your Bishop, Deacon, Pastor, leadership to repudiate the Doctrine of Discovery. 4. Organize to get your ministry started. 5. Download the ELCA Truth Seeking toolkit. 6. Support a worship service and use the resources created for worship #ELCACWA25

Quick thoughts on the ELCA PB first ballot. 1. At least there are two POC in the Top 5. 2. All Top 5 are Synod staff. 3. If one calls the same people who are currently in charge and expect different results, that is on us.

OK, I have an idea. We all agree to go along with the GOP’s desire to display the 10 Commandments in public buildings. In return, they all agree to resign office immediately if they disobey any of the aforementioned commandments.

Pretty much the same amount Republicans promise to “save” in this budget is what the IRS could have collected from tax cheats and wealthy/sophisticated filers WITHOUT RAISING A SINGLE TAX. But instead somebody somewhere will lose out on healthcare. Stupid and cruel.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

If the US government requires passports for you to practice your rights such as voting then passports should be provided for free to all and within a reasonable timeframe by said government.

Update: The Office of Government Ethics has "no comment" on its acting director, Jamieson Greer, also being Trump's U.S. Trade Rep -- meaning the guy in charge of investigating whether Trump engaged in insider trading with his tariffs is also the guy who advises Trump on tariffs. Can't make it up!
