Cinders 🍁🇨🇦

Remember: in the gospels, Jesus got the most upset with those who use religion as a tool of oppression and self serving power. You don't see Jesus get upset with anyone for showing too much forgiveness, giving too much mercy, having too much generosity or loving others too much.

Sometimes, you just need to watch some Mr. Bean with your hunny...

I do so love Canada in the winter! 🇨🇦❤️🍁

Meanwhile in Canada 🇨🇦 This is Gravenhurst:

Is anyone else on here a Guinea pig parent? lol This is Wilbur and Charlie. They are the sweetest little dudes. Before I became a rescuer of piggies I had no idea how interactive, fun an sweet they are!

Complacency is found in those places and spaces where we say to ourselves: "No, it could NEVER happen here." It can, it does, it has.

It's narcissism at its very core. It's toxic, unhealthy rhetoric. When that type of abuse is normalized and accepted it becomes gas chambers, slavery, genocide, concentration camps, repression, hate, fear. Absolutely, NONE of the good stuff. 3/3

It's a horrific misuse of power and authority. There should NEVER be hesitation with respect to uncovering and prosecuting for abuse. Instead, cover ups are courted while the abuser seeks more victims. This has got to stop. It's normalizing abuse on an epic level. 2/3

Trump's Cabinet pics are shaping up to be alarming and disturbing. I am really very tired of abuse being hidden on epic scales, from the Catholic Church to Evangelical "Christians" to the Entertainment Industry to Government. It's a very real and alarming problem. 1/3

You can feel the kindness radiate off of Kamala Harris. Is the exact opposite with he who shall not be named.

Not enough people are talking about how Donald Trump's team continues to skirt federal law by failing to sign critical documents as required by the Presidential Transition Act.

One of the best pics ever.

In a new letter, Sen. Elizabeth Warren is demanding answers from the General Services Administration on the "serious consequences" of Trump's "unprecedented" refusal to complete required transition agreements.
 No prior president-elect has refused to sign these agreements. tinyurl.com/msa8ew9b

There is something so deeply hypocritical about claiming to follow Jesus who saved the world by laying down his life out of love for others then acting like the world can only be saved by forcing your own way and imposing your beliefs on others.

It isn't "sharing your faith" when you're using legislation to do it. That's "forcing your faith." Jesus never gave us the right to impose our religious beliefs on anyone. When it violates human free will and matters of conscience, it isn't about Jesus. It's about control.

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

I see how that works, yes. Do you?

Starting a phony transgender bathroom debate and hiding behind the guise of “protecting women” to distract from your attempts to push through the confirmations of alleged rapists, sex traffickers, and fraudsters at the highest levels of government is peak Republican Party.

If Gaetz was applying for a job as a HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY TEACHER, there is no way in hell a school would hire him without reviewing all info about allegations he paid young women — including a 17-year-old — for sex & drugs But the Senate should confirm him for ATTORNEY GENERAL w/o the same info?

We're big time now, Bluesky fam

Dear Christian, If your religion is really about “saving souls” then you wouldn’t ever demand for it to be legislated. Because making someone follow your religion by force of law against their will is an extremely effective way to ensure they reject your God in their hearts.

If our Christianity causes us to say, “see how God can use King David even when he did horrid things!” to justify people in power we like instead of “Where is the prophet Nathan of our time who has been sent by God to call King David out for all his horrid actions?!” we need new theology.

When Trump fired James Comey in 2017, it was a nearly impeachment-level scandal because it was (rightly) regarded as an egregious abuse of power. Now he's going to fire Comey's successor, again for no legitimate reason, but no one cares because Trump has normalized abusing power.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

Like many of you, I’ve spent the last few days taking stock. Very much unlike 2016, I feel neither despair nor paralysis. Instead, I shift between a clear-eyed detachment and a grim determination. My latest: www.marytrump.org/p/dont-let-t...

“Trump’s bet? The media will do what it has always done: focus on the noise and ignore the existential threat Trump poses. Yes, Trump won the election; no, nothing about who and what he is changed with that victory.” Read more from @therickwilson.bsky.social: open.substack.com/pub/therickw...
