Prosecutors said that when an EMT approached to attempt to provide aid, Chauvin pointed his mace at her and prevented her from administering assistance to George Floyd. https://t.co/mHwgLrmP9c
A reminder to journalists and headline writers. George Floyd is not on trial in absentia, despite the obvious defense attorney’s strategy. This is the Derek Chauvin trial. To call this the George Floyd trial is to participate in the Chauvin defense play book.
Ppl of faith are urging Congress to support the Equality Act. Our laws should respect and uphold the sacred dignity and worth of all people. Sign the petition! #equalitytime via @fplaction https://t.co/mKYqlmVsFf
Breonna Taylor was an infectiously joyful person.
I wish she were here today. Planning a wedding. Posting a vaccine selfie. Bright future ahead of her.
May her legacy be defined by the life she lived.
Her killers remain at large.
We won’t forget her. We won’t stop fighting.
This might be the first time you actually saw Breonna Taylor on video. This is how I want to remember Her. Filled with life and love.
When we get your justice we finna turn up just like this in your name. #breonnataylor#justiceforbreonnataylor#sayhername#blacklivesmatter

@RevJenButler@OurBibleApp I love this app. Every week I find a new devotional or podcast to check out that's aligned with my spiritual goals and exploration. It's beautiful to see a digital faith community that has some alignment with my values.
My brother & cousin lacked health coverage b/c Georgia refused #AffordableCareAct's Medicaid expansion.
This bill offers massive revenue to states to do so; save lives; esp. in communities of color; rural areas that now lack hospitals. @CenterOnBudget

@RevJenButler Interesting that you described the Republican party as 'misguided.' Even if that were true, shouldn't we own impact over intent?
I assume the best intentions from ppl until they prove otherwise, but 'misguided' excuses them when they know exactly what they're doing.
@RevJenButler @lisasharper @lisasharper I read this and my first thought was 'she is definitely a bridge' 😄 Based on my experience of you bridging generational stories of theological transformation and culture, helping us to make connections of resonance.
@RevJenButler Really appreciate this hopeful, non-cynical perspective on Revelations. Growing up in very conservative spaces, Revelations was viewed so literally, or read into symbolically as a way to perpetuate fear. What if, instead, we read it in a way that inspires light and hope?
@gehringdc 😂 Professionalism is bunk. Like, it's good to have a baseline understanding of what is/isn't appropriate, but when that which is deemed inappropriate is really just basic human acknowledgment and connection, that really irks me.
