I am grateful for the voices on Twitter that have challenged me to grow, expanded my imagination, stretched my heart to be larger, and opened me up to an even larger, greener, queerer, and beautiful Divine.

Deleting this app indefinitely, but leaving the account on standby. Focusing on liberation and inclusion work in my neighborhood.

You can find me on 🧵 with a simple search. Or “Found in Translation” in your podcast player.

My own view, perhaps unwelcome, is the Left needs a dramatically new bottom-up solidarity that's far more affirmative of traditional religion.

It is losing contact not only with many ordinary people but also ancient republicanism virtue politics & Abrahamic spiritual sources.

Patriarchy is a motherfucker.

Some of y’all aren’t gonna be ready for it. Being under constant threat of terror, arrest, and brutality… while also refusing to give up your humanity or accept the programming, and producing the scholarship, art, and music to sustain your culture….takes practice

Just keep thinking about how superior Harris’s ground game was and how it didn’t even matter at all.

23/ This is the worst day in America since Pearl Harbor. Not because of what has happened *tonight*—nothing *happened*, in the literal sense, tonight—but because of what our country will now become in the short and medium term.

I cannot tell you how different your life is, now.

🚨URGENT🚨Getting reports people are being turned away to vote when their ID address doesn't match on file address - that is NOT correct! The addresses don't have to match. If you or someone you know runs into this, tell them to insist on filling out a provisional ballot.

@JosiahHawthorne His wording is also a direct quote from the U2 song “Vertigo.” And the next line in the song is poetry on brand for Wolfe:

“All of this, all of this can be yours
Just give me what I want and no one gets hurt”

As Christians vote, we must let Jesus' teachings shape our politics, not vice versa. Are we truly following His call to confront injustice and uplift the oppressed, or pursuing power while merely claiming His name?

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

One of the biggest lies we Christians have come to believe is that the best and most effective way to address the pressing issues of our time is to gain more control over others rather than become more compassionate towards others.

This is the opposite of the gospel of Jesus.
