We've seen few humans this devoted and humble as Jimmy Carter.
Quietly continuing his mission,which was to do good.
If you must leave us go gently . Leave your heart and bravery so we might learn.
Thank you President Carter.
Jimmy.

Many years ago when we were in our 20s, one of our dearest couple friends (still close) lost a preschooler to cancer. Nearly killed all of us in our circle. The fuller details of the last moments are too sacred for social media but I can’t get a part of it out of my mind this AM.

2 yrs ago: Jan 6, 5:04pm, I took this photo of law enforcement using flash bang grenades & tear gas on a violent mob trying to break into the U.S. Capitol. It was hr 4 in my gas mask, helmet & bulletproof vest photographing hand-to-hand combat between police & U.S. citizens. 1/9

The exploitation of Christ for worldly power in this era is unconscionable. Leave his name out of your evil. Non-Christian observers, please do not to look to cultural Christianity for what Jesus is like but to the Gospels, Acts & the NT epistles. Look to the sermon on the mount.

[Emily Snook @hoopersnook]

Here’s the thing.
My generation spent our whole lives being told character matters, especially in leaders.
And then. Suddenly. It didn’t.
So. There is no avenue, to me, of trusting the people who disingenuously told us to believe in truth & then demanded we abandon it bc tactics.

it’s getting darker by the day, so collect the light in your pockets like lint. the light on the trees, the light through the blinds, the patches on the floor. how it holds the moon in the sky, turns the water to glitter, turns skin into sunbeams— the light, the light, the light.

I volunteer as a translator with asylees coming through the Texas border and I wanted to make a thread on who these migrants are, what help is actually needed and why what DeSantis and Abbott are doing is so needlessly cruel.

Everyone is talking about it, but so few understand

[Shaun Groves @shaungroves]

I understand Christian disagreement over immigration policy. I don't understand Christian glee over the deception and deprivation of immigrants. It's ungodly evil.

@JohnWLemons Dude. I remembered on my own today when I reminded you. Quit selling your wife short

[Amy Nuara, NBCT (she/ella) @ProfeDeAngelo]

Potentially unpopular opinion: if you can’t teach the whole curriculum without homework, your curriculum is the problem. Kids aren’t“quiet quitting” by expecting to only do work @ school. After 7-8 hrs of work, they should expect to protect their peace & find joy when they leave

@earle_gail @Route_60plus I’m pretty sure first she said “you sound like a really attractive guy” 🤣

yes, the news is bleak… but every day there are people flirting and falling in love and eating freshly plucked raspberries and following catprints through a light dusting of snow, and a glory that shines in all things.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

.@RepLizCheney reportedly is not able to campaign for re-election at open, public events in Wyoming because of threats to her safety.
This, in the United States of America, folks.
Think about that.

@VKingofthenorth @davenewworld_2 If you watch the follow up video about him being for hire she addressed this and said they got married on May the 4th.😊

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

There's a nurse shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

There's an engineering shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

There's a pilot shortage...let's lower the qualifications.

If this sounds illogical, how does it make sense for teachers?

[Emily Lemons @HeckLemons]

This is wisdom and grace. @BethMooreLPM is one of the reasons I stick around on this bird app.

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

Believing this to be the leadership of the Spirit & as a Part 2 of sorts to yesterday's thread about discipling people on the values of Jesus, I'd like to make a statement on why I will no longer be forced into making statements. I am unfortunately not new to this game.

[Noriah @noriaaahj]

A baby went to a 4th of July parade & left an orphan. The way we’re living in this country makes zero sense..

[Emily Lemons @HeckLemons]

@authenticpaint @Nelba_MG @BetteMidler She isn’t projecting. Even if Bette isn’t screaming, the thousands of voices coming at this mother (who lost her beautiful daughter at Sandy Hook) must be overwhelming, paralyzing, and blood-curdling. She’s endured so much already, if she asks us to rethink this pushing, we must.

[Will Hurd @WillHurd]

What does it say about us as a nation that a brave, traumatized, 11-year-old girl who soaked herself in another child's blood to prevent her own murder had to testify before Congress to explain to our lawmakers that we are dealing with a national emergency? (1/6)
