I voted.

The ineptitude of conservative white Christianity boils down to a failure to accurately diagnosis the underlying causes of suffering in the world. It isn’t feminism, drag queens, or DEI initiatives. It’s love of money and power at the expense of basic humanity.

Jesus' harshest words weren't directed towards "sinners." Jesus' harshest words were directed towards those who used their religion as a tool of oppression and self serving power. Jesus' harshest words were directed towards religious hypocrisy. May we remember this.

Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein breaks down in tears describing the moment she learned her name was revealed while the rich and powerful remained protected by redactions Roza: I kept my identity protected as Jane Doe. I woke up one day with my name mentioned over 500 times.

So a comedian's jokes should be taken seriously while trump's outrageous comments should be taken as 'jokes'???

Imagine calling Renee Good and Alex Pretti “domestic terrorists” and calling immigrants “animals” then turning around and telling people they are the ones who need to “tone down their rhetoric.”

Christian idolatry right now looks like measuring people’s loyalty to God by their loyalty to the president.

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

God’s heart is with the little ones, not the proud warmongers. It is with the humble that He builds up His Kingdom of love & peace.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Dear Christian, Undocumented immigrants can’t vote. It is a crime that results in prison and/or deportation. Only 68 instances of this has happened in the last 40 years, by the Heritage Foundation’s own report. Saying tons of undocumented immigrants are voting is a lie.

Many people who simply stayed committed to Jesus over the last decade are accused of leaving Christianity by those who left Jesus to follow a president.

Every American needs to watch this:

Christians protesting injustice, oppression, nationalism, and the use of our sacred scriptures to justify evil isn’t “causing division.” Christians justifying injustice, oppression, nationalism, and evil through the use of our sacred scriptures is what is causing division.

Matthew 25 tells us that when Jesus returns and judges between the righteous and unrighteous, he doesn't judge them based on their orthodoxy, their patriotism, or their individual definitions of morality. He judges them based on their compassion towards vulnerable people.

A Christianity that sides with the empire over the immigrant, the poor, the sick, the hungry, the marginalized, the vulnerable, and the oppressed, is a Christianity that follows someone other than Jesus.

What is grace but anarchy? The message of [Christ] is that all debts are paid, all the captives are set free, there is no score board in the sky measuring your rights and wrongs. The cross is the end of punishment and reward. There are no deserving and undeserving.

If Evangelicals want to know why people are leaving organized religion, it's because you excuse and elevate the objectively worst people as "God's chosen," while ridiculing the poor, marginalized, and downtrodden as sinners and lepers. And I'm talking to Evangelicals of all faiths.

Once Christians tie their faith to partisan politics they eventually have to defend the indefensible. Pledge all your allegiance to Jesus Christ and let the politicians fend for themselves.

Notice how it’s somehow the government’s job to legislate a few Bible verses on human sexuality over our entire country, but it’s suddenly “not the government’s job” when it comes to the +2,500 Bible verses calling for a generous use of wealth that prioritizes the poor.

When Christian Nationalism imagines greatness it thinks of power and domination When Jesus imagines greatness he thinks of humility and service

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs. You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized.

Though it’s traumatic for me to bring this up, I was targeted by a group allied with Turning Point USA in 2018, with the help of Tucker Carlson on Fox. My home address circulated online and I got death threats. 1/

Ossoff: "It's been extraordinary to see the Speaker of the House reduced to lying in order to cover up sex crimes"

It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

On January 6, 2021, a mob prayed right before breaking into the Capitol in a violent insurrection. On July 3, GOP politicians prayed again to pass the Big Ugly Bill. Now the insurrection is coming from inside the House.

This is Jesus’ military parade. This is how Christ became King. There is the way of the world— And there is the way of Jesus. There is the way of the Beast— And there is the way of the Lamb.

🗣️President Trump’s proposed FY26 budget would roll back WIC's fruit and vegetable benefits to pre-2021 levels, before USDA’s science-based increase. Breastfeeding moms would drop from $54 → $13 Young kids: $27 → $10 These cuts jeopardize early nutrition. Read the full NWA statement:

If you’re wondering what actual “anti Christian bias” looks like:

When Christians follow and act like Christ, Caesar will also do Caesar does: oppress and suppress. The Gospel is a suicide mission. Caesar’s persecution is painful but welcome. Better to be counted with Christ than seated next to Caesar.

When someone makes a statement or shares an opinion that triggers you, it might be great for everyone if you'd consider for a moment that you just may have misunderstood. Follow up questions can be a great start.

You have been watching the greatest economic disaster strategy from an American President in history.

"In the person of Pilate the State becomes a den of robbers, a gangster State, the ordering of an irresponsible clique. The State after the pattern of the Pilates, is the polis in its sheer opposition to the Church and the Kingdom of God.

Jesus’s strongest rebukes were for those religious leaders who used the words of God to crush and control humanity.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

Generations of American patriots, from our revolution onward, have fought for the principles Zelenskyy is risking his life to defend. But today, Donald Trump and JD Vance attacked Zelenskyy and pressured him to surrender the freedom of his people to the KGB war criminal who invaded Ukraine.

I am embarrassed for our country. Trump and Vance are disgraceful.

Pro life?
