The lies defining this moment in America: -The 2020 election was stolen -There’s massive voter fraud -There’s an epidemic of noncitizens voting -We’ve been “invaded” by millions of criminals -Only an authoritarian government can fix these problems -Jesus agrees with all of this

If you loved THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE, then you'll love its action-packed sequel, PRINCE CASPIAN! The Pevensie children are back, even Edmund, but what about all your favorite friends: Mr. Tumnus, the Beavers, the friendly giant? Well, they've been dead for a thousand years. Sorry.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

Charlie, Nathan Brimmer’s grandson, is the central character. The main story is set about fifty years after Behold All the Dwellers Upon Earth. Interspersed are flashbacks that fill in the gaps. Only his uncles, David and James-William, can help, but they haven’t been seen in years. #brimmerverse

The government is officially shut down. Make no mistake: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. This is THEIR shutdown. They had every tool to govern and chose chaos instead. The American people are the ones paying the price.

So, they were so hot to hive this doorknob in office and now they think they’re going to be taken away so they won’t have to deal with the mess. American “Evangelicalism” is all about selfishness.

As fascists hijack Christianity to serve their political aims, it is more important than ever for actual Christians to * Pray fervently for the renewal of the world * Follow Jesus as Lord * Proclaim the Good News of God’s grace and mercy in the public square * Be merciful * Reject evil ⚓️

I love that I have friends to whom I can say “I was officiating at Evening Prayer,” who will know what I mean, not think I’m crazy, and not ask me if I’m going to be a priest. ⚓️

1996 Part 1- The Strange Death of Tapioca Pudding. We have a long discussion about what makes Peanuts work, and how Schulz’s presence is felt. Is it possible we’re overthinking this? Meanwhile, Rerun provides some of the best moments. Charlie Brown is still up all night. pod.link/unpackingpeanuts

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.
