Hey, I'm Rae. Twitter OG. I've got a daughter in college and a wife.

I'm churchy; you might see interactions with reformed orthodox folks or with the exvangelical/deconstructing crowd. I've got commonalities with each. 1/

Purposely making America's military less than mediocre just like him.

It was never about merit.

Breaking NYT:

In a move that disproportionately targets women and minority officers, Pete Hegseth recently blocked the promotions of at least seven Navy officers who had been selected by a board of senior Navy admirals.

The decision appears driven by his anti-diversity stance rather than based on merit. https://t.co/9eesu4F4Jo

@chrisfromthelc These posts I'm seeing are from accounts that it is not saying that I'm following at all. They're just showing up in the tab.

I'm seeing tweets from accounts I do not follow and have never heard of. This is in my "Following" tab, not "For you." 😒

105 years ago today — May 31, 1921 — horror came to Tulsa.

A thriving, self-made Black community known as "Black Wall Street" was brutally attacked by white mobs in one of the most devastating acts of racial violence in American history.

They burned it to the ground. Hundreds of Black-owned homes and businesses — symbols of pride, prosperity, and hard-won success — were looted and reduced to rubble. At least 36 Black residents were murdered, over 800 were injured, and thousands more were left homeless, their dreams and life's work destroyed in a single night of terror.

A community that had risen against all odds was violently crushed. We remember Greenwood. We remember the lives stolen. We remember the pain that still echoes.

This isn't quite to the level of buying the plantation that your ancestors were enslaved on, but it's darn close.

In 1959, 9 yo Ronald McNair was told he couldn't check out his books from Lake City's segregated library. He went on to become Karate champion, earned an MIT PhD in physics, and became a NASA astronaut.

Today that library is named after him.

Drink your coffee. Pray for your pastor. Go to church.

[Blake Callens @blakecallens]

The racism on Reformed social media, which, don't let them fool you, drives a ton of the official discourse, is so stupidly out in the open now, and there is next to no opposition from the "good guys" running the denominations.

I never would have thought it could get this bad.

Hey, so does uncritically repeating someone else word for word with approbation count as "speech"?
