You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

They promised shocked and awe. I confess - it has been shocking. But awe? NOPE. What is happening disgusts me. I'm only awed by LOVE, not brutality. #LoveRelentlessly dianabutlerbass.substack.com/p/love-relen...

Reup: Peterr's reflection on Bishop Budde & prayer service: This is a service for the nation. Not for "the citizens of" the nation. Not for "the taxpayers of" the nation. Not for "the leaders of" the nation. This was a service for the nation-the *whole* nation. www.emptywheel.net/2025/01/22/h...

By the way, Bishop Budde has a book! Let's send her to the bestseller list. This book is already backordered on some sites. She proved yesterday that she's an expert on the topic about which she has written. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/705987...

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

It’s interesting to see FFOTUS exposed to actual Christianity.
