“We survived by holding on to God. Really for us, there was not a day when we didn’t pray. We prayed for our families, for our mental well-being.” - Andry on how he survived

I wrote about my conversation with Andry, John McCain's tribute to Bud Lee, unimaginable grace in contrast with the pettiest grievances, and learning about character from those who have been tormented. "Can We Ever Repair This Moral Rot" www.thebulwark.com/p/can-we-eve...

Oh, how I wish they'd name it the Washington Epsteins just to screw with him.

It’s sad how the same folks who taught us to sing, “Jesus loves the little children of the world” now choose silence when thousands of little children in Gaza are bombed and starved to death. They are precious in Jesus’ sight too.

Apparently lots and lots and lots and lots and lots!

“I never wrote a picture in my life” ok www.bbc.com/news/world-u... also lol, “wrote a picture”

Jeffries: We believe that when you work hard and play by the rules, you should be able to afford to live the good life.. That’s the American Dream. And no one has done more to deliver that American Dream to the American people than organized labor.

Instead of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah we get the guys that bowed down to Nebuchadnezzar

A good word: "How is it that such a cozy image can invoke such vicious and polarized responses? The problem is, at least in part, the problem inherent in sentimentality and its concentrated form, sentimentalism...Sentimentalism easily becomes manipulation. At its worst, it is propaganda."

Admittedly I went to law school partly to avoid math but nevertheless I do feel obligated to try to clear up the President's ceasefire proposal. Hang on tight y'all. He posted at 6:02 p.m. so that is our starting point. In approximately six hours from "now" (i.e., 6:02 p.m.) when Israel and Iran

“God hasn’t forgotten about you” “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners … to set the oppressed free” Jesus of Nazareth, quoting the prophet Isaiah. Luke 4:18

If you haven’t seen it, this is one of the most extraordinary conversations I’ve ever seen. Start at the 10:30 mark and listen to George talk about what the law means. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-can-yo...

“Character” is such an old-fashioned term, but a beautiful term. #IYKYK

I sure hope he can. Strom was sowing ugliness. I want goodness to have the record

pastor in our presbytery is being forced to leave the country. he has set up a gofundme for his family. www.gofundme.com/f/support-pa...

Not sure why everyone isn’t as pissed as me about the Venezuelan soccer player we sent to the torture camp so here’s a 10 minute rant for those who are. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Very well expressed. Watch this.

This Complaint is a masterpiece of clear and persuasive legal writing. It tells a story of unfolding tyranny and destruction of the United States Constitution by gross abuse of presidential powers - and its real world impact. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

#TheEvangelicalImagination was by no means a “bestseller.” But it is slowly finding its readers in its own due time, and as a writer that is the most I would want. Grateful for this latest review.

“Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing his disgrace.  For we do not have an enduring city here; instead, we seek the one to come.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭13‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭CSB‬‬

The ghosts of history are wailing. From Normandy to Arlington, crying out for the People to awaken—before every sacrifice, every name on those graves, is forsaken. This is the moment. Take back control before it’s too late. For God’s sake, people!

I'd like to bring this multimillion-dollar photo-op to the attention of Elon Musk and DOGE. Instead of firing food inspectors and air traffic controllers and cancelling critical medical research at NIH, stop this outrageous waste of our people's tax dollars!

The worst of the 4 appointments is the sum of them which is a roadmap to the end of America as the leader of the freed world and the beginning of its alignment with dictatorships, in particular, Russia.

Oooh boy do you know what I just realized that 2025 is the centennial of? The Scopes Monkey Trial. Still not sure we have recovered from that circus as a nation. Centuries from now, historians will call this period "The Hundred Years Culture War."

Happy Valentine’s Day from Mary Shelley. 🩷

if we had to listen to SPEECHES from A LITTLE GIRL, surely it’s fine to give the richest person in the world free rein to shutter and dismantle US agencies with global impacts and grant him unchecked access to all the confidential information held by the government.

I was literally going to study aggregate chemical exposures as an EPA scientist. Our tentative results indicate some exposure risk to children from pharmaceuticals and pesticides that collect in house dust. But my tentative job offer was rescinded a few weeks ago, and the job canceled, by the EOs.

Sounds like Alabama will need to get rid of entire books of the Bible. And that Jesus fellow, too.

MAGA morality: Put thousands of federal employees on leave, cut aid that sustains countless lives, demonize your opponents, and then enjoy the suffering of your enemies. But then - when one DOGE worker is fired for vicious racism -say, "Where's the grace and mercy in this country?"

You begin to appreciate the pace of events: Hitler became Chancellor on January 30. The Reichstag burned on February 27. The Enabling Act was signed on March 23. Dachau opened the day before.

Please pray for a three-year-old boy whose appendix burst. Operation appears successful, but the burst appendix means several days in the hospital and worried parents.
