I will be traveling on October 18. Is anyone selling “I’d rather be at a No Kings Protest” t-shirts or sweatshirts?

Sadly, the only thing that puts Pete Hegseth’s shenanigans today at odds with his religious tradition is his incendiary remarks about beards.

What Dear Leader fails to realize is that, if he wants to cover up his collusion with Epstein, he needs to let leaders of his white evangelical base in on his secret. Cause no one covers up the sexual abuse of minors like those guys.

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Am I nuts or is rationale for gutting Medicaid that “we’re going to put young able-bodied men living in their mothers’ basement back to work” just a political reboot of Mark Driscoll’s whole schtick in the early 00s? Everyone else is collatoral damage as we pursue God’s mission: making wimps manly.

Amazon/Bezos are still problematic for a number of reasons but they are standing up re:tariffs right now so if you’ve been itching to place an order, maybe now is the time? A tiny bump in revenue to tell them to keep going. Then back to boycott as usual.

can’t really be overstated how important it was that in an era where almost every single institution we have is being dragged towards fascism, one little old man devoted his life to shoving the world’s oldest institution towards more charity, grace and inclusivism.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Lesslie Newbigin: "The dogma, the thing given for our acceptance in faith, is not a set of timeless propositions: it is a story. Moreover, it is a story which is not yet finished, a story in which we are still awaiting the end when all becomes clear." Is this what sermons at your church sound like?

You know how there’s a certain kind of young buck who thinks he’s going to set right everything the institution gets so wrong? But then he shows up and just starts breaking stuff cause his vision is more important than people? And the question is: am I talking about DOGE or church planters?

Jamie Smith's Awaiting the King always slaps but re-reading it toward the end of my comps bibliography and in the middle of all this (gesturing expansively), it is essential reading. "There is something political at stake in our worship and something religious at stake in our politics."

Per this @nytimes.com story, among those deported by the Trump administration is Artemis Ghasemzadeh, an Iranian convert to Christianity. If returned to Iran, she could face the death penalty for her conversion. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...
It was Ms. Ghasemzadeh who sent a reporter the text saying “only a miracle can save us.”

She said she was an English teacher who, in Iran, had converted to Christianity in an underground church. According to Iran’s Islamic Shariah law, converting from Islam is considered apostasy and is a crime punishable by death.

She left Iran in December, she said, hoping to build a new life in the United States. She knew that Mr. Trump was deporting migrants, she added, but thought,  “I’m not a criminal, I am educated, I will show them my qualifications, my conversion to Christianity papers.”

Ms. Ghasemzadeh took a series of flights to Mexico, she said, and then headed for the southern border, paying a smuggler around $3,000 to help her climb over the border wall. She was soon picked up by border officials.Artemis Ghasemzadeh fled Iran, where she could face a death sentence for converting to Christianity. At the hotel in Panama, she wrote “Help us” on a window with lipstick.
