@ThigpenTiffany @wartwatch Profoundly insulting to you, to Christa, and to so many others. I’m so sorry, Tiffany.

FRIDAY ROUNDUP: What’s not said https://t.co/RbaRFwh4qc

[Rachael Denhollander @R_Denhollander]

You know who doesn't get to just "look to the future?" Duane Rollins and Jen Lyell. Because they're dead.

Tiffany Thigpen, and Christa Brown, because the wounds, especially of betrayal, are poured out every day, and again today.

Once again, this is about my dad Allen Jordan. He’s a mean, arrogant, sick, toxic person. He is cruel. He helped my former church @prestonwood and @jackngraham cover up child sex crimes.

I’m so very sorry ⁦@ChristaBrown777⁩ ⁦@ThigpenTiffany⁩ https://t.co/sS2207se4p

‼️‼️‼️ A second woman has apparently accused David Sills of sexual misconduct, per recent filings in his lawsuit against Jen Lyell & the Southern Baptist Convention. Sills' lawyers are trying to block the woman, who he counseled, from being deposed. #SBC25

@megannlively @Jenlyell I am so sorry to see this. Tragic. Hugs to you and all of her loved ones.

[Marie Griffith @RMarieGriffith]

@RobertDownen_ I am so sorry to read this, Rob. He did so much, and you’ve done so much good with his story. I look forward to reading more from you on him when you can write that.

@ChristaBrown777 It’s the race of the sycophants! I think the prize at the end might surprise them.

[Dr. Kevin M. Young @kevinmyoung]

This is so true, and religious people who fit this description, led by Evangelicals, have become a scourge on this nation and its people.

[David Clohessy @davidgclohessy]

I hope every single person who saw, suspected or suffered crimes or cover ups at IHOP will contact SNAP (the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests) and other independent, trustworthy sources of help.

[Adam Schiff @SenAdamSchiff]

I support this.

@ElonMusk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress.

Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.

Tomorrow, I'm honored to be on KWMU's 'St. Louis on the Air' at noon central (12/13) with the courageous & resilient Amanda Householder discussing abuse & cover up at Christian boarding schools in Missouri. Spread the word and tune in please! Thanks!

This year exposed many well-known leaders as sexual predators & the systemic cover-ups protecting them. We should no longer be surprised by how deep the pockets are of those who shield abusers & crucify victims.

Here’s only 1 example: https://t.co/Ej29N40UOB

@KSPrior Sincere condolences to you and your whole family, Karen. What a blessing you had this time with her even to the end.

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰

Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites

I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer
