We can’t just look at jobs created, those jobs must pay a wage and have benefits that allows a person to support a family.

We can’t just look at market growth, a fair share of that wealth must flow to households.

The Senate did not pass both bills.

@HouseDemocrats knew that the Senate would not pass both bills.

You broke a strike and sent a message to labor that the bosses have the support of the government.

Shameful.

Servant leaders tend toward deliberative approaches to democracy.

Politicians prefer simple opinion surveys and consultant crafted messaging.

An American community is terrorized by this violence.

Should our hearts break any less because these Americans struggle with poverty or because the criminal may be from a traditionally marginalized group?

Compassion for the victims and accountability for the criminal. Period.

[Chris Butler @Christhecitizen]

The perpetrator of this crime is probably NOT a deranged White Nationalist. But, this is a mass shooting.

Where is the national outcry? The unrelenting manhunt? The federal investigators? The national news networks?

Guess it doesn’t fit the narrative. 😢https://t.co/C7SUiEL4Er

Faithful Christians should be politically homeless.

We are in this world, not of it.

Thanks to @AndCampaign’s @JustinEGiboney and @Christhecitizen for putting a roof over my politically homeless head.

And thanks to @Tish_H_Warren for platforming AND. https://t.co/6gcH6ARaJE

[Chris Butler @Christhecitizen]

This is why today’s politics miss me and many other Black people of faith.

“the culture war has set a framework in which progressivism and conservatism, AS DEFINED IN WHITE MAJORITY SPACES, are billed as the only two legitimate options.”

“just before Covid-19 took over the world, the governor (Pritzker) had a huge legislative victory; he legalized recreational marijuana…how is the state fairing two years into the policy?”

This has been a heart project for my friend, @MichaelRWear for years. So excited to see it come into fruition!

Rejoicing with you, brother!

[Chris Butler @Christhecitizen]

I have no interest making American “again” what she use to be. But, so-called “wokeism” doesn’t reflect the best of what she can be. We must build a future on the foundation of values that are anchored in truth and aimed toward the flourishing of people, families and communities.

[Chris Butler @Christhecitizen]

I don’t believe that corporate America created cultural progressivism (a society sick with sin and too accepting of hatred, bigotry, abuse, and oppression did that). But, corporate America has supported and supercharged cultural progressivism because it helps drive profits.

[Chris Butler @Christhecitizen]

@JustinEGiboney Facts.

What they don’t yet realize (or fail to acknowledge) is that #parents are not going to change their position on wanting what is best for their children.

[Chris Butler @Christhecitizen]

Corporations that put profit over everything will prefer laborers who work rather than worship on the sabbath; who pick up and move at a moments notice rather than invest long-term in a community; who will have an abortion rather than demand support for family life.

[Chris Butler @Christhecitizen]

Really…now supporting charters (not even the most robust form of school choice) is a Republican position?

How many people do we want to drive out of this party?

🤦🏾‍♂️

Congratulations to Connecticut State Representative Treneé McGee for handily winning her first primary re-election campaign!

The pro-abortion challenger had no hope against her #WholeLife campaign.

Next stops: victory in November and continued service to District 116!!
