“God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." -James 4:6 Trump actually posted this on Truth Social… (Also, he totally ignored Reagan and the Bushes? Also, Jackson was brutal. Also, I don’t know some of these dudes. Also - that’s a lot of white dudes.)

Over half the men on Tennessee’s death row have made one simple request to Gov. Lee: “Please come pray with us.” Today we will walk from death row to the Governor’s office carrying their letter and signatures. We call it the March for Mercy. Pray with us as we ask him to pray with them.

Our urban gardens are magical. Year after year, we just keep adding new stuff. This year we’re growing popcorn! And we have honeybees! One of our neighbors said, “We are bringing the Garden of Eden to North Philadelphia.” 🔥🔥🔥 This is what you make possible when you support us:www.TheSimpleWay.org

Check it out! Katie and Eli have been working hard at The Simple Way today. Here’s a little tour of our library and community space. Our goal is for everyone to feel loved and know that they belong. 🔥🔥🔥

Christian Nationalism is an oxymoron… and a heresy. It centers America, rather than Jesus, as God’s divine messianic force in the world. It’s a form of idolatry. It’s a threat to democracy & a threat to authentic Christian faith. Rebuke it, in the name of Jesus. [image by Shibboleth Magazine]

On June 28, 1982 the lovely Katie Jo Brotherton came into the world... and I am so glad. I love this woman. I am so glad she was born 44 years ago. Thank you Mimi and Butch for bringing this gift into the world. H A P P Y B I R T H D A Y K A T I E J O ! ! !

Happy #Juneteenth! In 1865, enslaved families in Texas were the last to learn of their emancipation following the defeat of the Confederate States of America. In African-American communities throughout the US, this good news of liberation to the captives is still celebrated as Juneteenth.

Racism and bigotry are wicked. But there is something even more sick and twisted — even diabolical — about using Christianity to justify racism and camouflage bigotry. God will not be mocked. Trump evangelicalism is a cult and a heresy. Rebuke it, in the name of Jesus.

Proud to stand with all the freedom fighters outside Delaney Hall tonight. We prayed. We sang. We read the names of those killed by ICE. They brought guns, rubber bullets, and teargas. We brought faith, hope, and love. And we’ll keep doing it until this place is shut down.
