Diana Brown: "What does the First Amendment mean to you?" @reedhoward.bsky.social: "The freedom of religion, people underestimate how essential that was to the American revolution…Everyone who says we are a Christian nation, that's been contested from the very beginning of our republic."
To my fellow Christians, it’s time to wake up. ICE executed another American citizen today. I pray we will be people of peace and people of action. “Give us courage to speak where others are silent, to act where others are indifferent, and to love where others harden their hearts.”
We’re living in a time of tyrants. We need to build new factions and coalitions. We need to find leaders with moral courage. We need to wage peace. So fun to join @liamkerr.bsky.social and Lauren’s @welcomepac.bsky.social pod! www.welcomestack.org/p/the-depola...

Trump's speech failed in five ways: 1️⃣ It abandoned truth. 2️⃣ It attacked free speech while claiming to protect it. 3️⃣ It stoked division instead of unity. 4️⃣ It spread fear, not solutions. 5️⃣ It treated the presidency like a stage, not a stewardship. www.maverickusa.org/p/americans-...

Rabbi Prinz, at the 1963 March on Washington: “When I was a rabbi in Berlin under the Hitler regime, I learned many things. The most important: bigotry and hatred are not the most urgent problem. The most urgent, the most disgraceful, the most shameful and the most tragic problem is silence.”
