Four white men have more wealth than half the planet⦠& you still think a brown immigrant is why youāre struggling? šš Explain that to me like Iām five.
your SPOUSE is the one whoāll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. whoāll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if youāre ever too sick to stand. this isnāt just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. itās about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isnāt enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE lifeās ugly parts... thatās what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE wonāt carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when itās HARD TO LOVE
Men will literally believe a woman is a slut from a man with zero proof but all of a sudden they need 200 photos, 65 videos, 15 police reports and 10 witnesses to believe a man is a rapist. Make it make sense
Nah, Iām fine with this, and it IS crime prevention
Girls who have better relationships with their dads are less likely to become single moms (or criminals themselves) and their kids are less likely to continue the cycle of crime
Involving dads is the solution, not a problem
Funny. When Texans are freezing or being flooded out of their homes, @tedcruz is on the first plane to Mexico. When he's trying to score political points, he does the first 'manual labor' of his life. #txlege
Yāall refuse to mask, yāall donāt get tested, yāall open mouth cough and sneeze everywhere, yāall donāt wash your hands & yāall think just bc you donāt have symptoms youāre not contagious. Itās been 5 years.
I donāt deny the power of my fatherās most well-known speech, āI Have a Dream.ā
However, its power and popularity (with focus on its conclusion) have been misused to weaken its clear messaging about ending racism, stopping police brutality, ensuring voting rights, and eradicating economic injustice.
Why didnāt Pastor Lorenzo Sewell pray these parts of the Dream during President Trumpās Inauguration?
Because the inconvenient truth (that disallows embracing the pipe dream that racism no longer exists in this country) is that Project 2025 and some of the plans that his voters encouraged POTUS to roll out on day one are reflective of an āAmericaā that denies the comprehensive King.
Thatās why those who quote Daddy out of context and without the spirit of nonviolence donāt pray using my fatherās āThe Other America,ā āThe Three Evils of Society, āBeyond Vietnamāā¦or āLetter from Birmingham Jail.ā
Itās simpler to distort the rousing conclusion of #IHaveADream and twist it to push a narrative that authentic, compassionate work to prevent and stop discrimination is actually discriminatory.
It is much harder to distort #LetterFromBirminghamJailās call to conscience to #Christians and its powerfully relevant teaching on nonviolent direct action, injustice anywhere, devotion to order over justice, doing whatās right, and disobeying unjust laws.
Who can validate inhumane legislation by integrating prayers about civil disobedience and freedom being demanded by the oppressed, both topics covered in LFBJ?
We need to get Daddyās Dream right, while also realizing that, in his other speeches, sermons, and writings, including LFBJ, he provides the love-centered strategy and courageous path for realizing his Dream.
And we havenāt collectively embraced that strategy or started on that path. In fact, several of the Executive Orders rescinded by President Trump this week blatantly disregard both the strategy and the path.
So keep prayingā¦but donāt pray the Dream in pursuit of false peace, which cries for unity while decrying inclusive and equitable policies and practices.
Pray the Dream in tandem with work for true peace, which, as my father said, is the presence of justice.
