Crimo apprehended alive.
I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW THE POLICE MANAGE TO TAKE MASS SHOOTERS ALIVE BUT CANT LET BLACK FOLKS SURVIVE A TRAFFIC STOP WITHOUT 90 BULLETS FIRED.
Like how? How does this work???
Let me tell y’all a story: Because it’s #4thOfJuly, I’m driving to the store w/ an Obama flag flying from my car. I’ve got a matching hat so I can provoke everyone around me, right?
Actually that didn’t happen. Because that would be weird.
As the daughter of the cop who arrested the school shooter at Santa Fe high school, I can absolutely say arming teachers is not the answer.

This letter from a Catholic Priest friend says it all about Arch Bishop Cordileone’s latest misguided decision:
“I want to write a longer piece about those bishops who seek to keep some from the table of Christ, but for now I will say this: it is not your table (nor mine)… 1/5

Today I held a hand that needed to be held. You were so afraid. So, so afraid.
You: "I don't want to die from this."
Me: "I don't want you to, either."
You: "No, I mean this shot."
I opened my mouth and then closed it. Before I could speak, you had the phone to your ear.
To be consistently pro-life, one must be pro-empathy. As long as the focus of anti-abortion policy is punitive, it will fail to reduce abortion. As long the unborn are idolized but love and empathy for the living is absent, then “pro-life” is a false prophet. 1/
@d_l_mayfield @courtranstrom We live in Dundee. In Feb 2020, we had to scramble to find a school for our kids when the Christian school they attended turned on my son almost overnight. Frontier Charter Academy was the only online charter accepting new students, & we have loved it. Great teachers & staff.
When I’ve tweeted very basic things like - If you’re able to get vaccinated, you should, or Wear a mask when it’s recommended - I’ve gotten so many “stay in your lane” comments. I’M TRYING. I’m not a scientist, so I’m listening to them. “Love your neighbor,” that is my lane.
@edgykristina Set up by our hairdresser, who told him “she’s a guaranteed virgin” and told me “he’s cute as a button.” 😬
We agree that we wouldn’t take her advice on anything besides hair, yet here we are, married 19 years & convinced that God works in mysterious and wonderful ways.
@kkdumez Even though I read a library copy of the hardcover last year, I just ordered a paperback copy today to help amplify this critical work. Maybe I’ll donate it to our church library after re-reading. 😉 Thanks for this necessary and accessible scholarship.
@RevManda I don’t know you, Manda, but I know depression and I know shit weeks. Give yourself all the grace you would to a loved one, for you are beloved.
