Beware of anyone with great wealth and power who tells you to fear and despise those with no wealth or power.

They are simply trying to distract you from the ways they are using their own wealth and power.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

It doesn’t matter if the country is ready or not for a Black woman president. I am reminded of William James’s The Will to Believe. If we believe, organize, and act, we can will the fact of her presidency into existence.

I just hope everyone sees just how terrible a place America is in. The thing that is hard is that so many people worked so it wouldn’t be this way. So many played it “safe” and leaned on “electability”. This is what happens when the country moves at the speed of whiteness.

Honor the memories of Carole Robertson, Carol Denise McNair, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, all murdered in 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham by white supremacist terrorists sixty years ago today:

The Southern Baptists lost 410K in 2021.

Then another 457K in 2022.

I think it's very possible that the United Methodist Church and the Southern Baptist Convention may lose 2.5M members, 2020-2023.

The death of denominations in real time.

“You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘you are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.”—LBJ, 1965

Be a good ally!

If you continually allow peer pressure or fear of those in power to control how you behave, you will always disappoint those who need you the most.

Doing nothing is actually doing something hurtful and harmful.

Well, this happened when I was 5 years-old, @NikkiHaley.

I recommend you listen to my father’s speech, ‘The Other America’: https://t.co/GRq5tT5wua

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

We are building a culture that disincentives caring about other people when both common sense and data (see below!) tell us that caring about other people is the key to being happy.

We should do better.

[Danté Stewart (Stew) @stewartdantec]

Alright. Nimarata knows the “you” doesn’t mean non white, non Christian, non rich, and non straight people. No point this was ever true. Utilizing “simple”/“easy”/“felt” signals white nostalgia. “We”/“have”/“that” “again” white solidarity and rage.

This tweet is white supremacy.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @NikkiHaley: I remember growing up, when folks called me Chink. Threw eggs at our house. Slashed our tires. Called the police on us because they thought Asians like us were stealing wild ducks for food. And no one in government looked like me or you.

Life sure was simple.

Reports that Putin has left Moscow. That's what Stalin didn't do in 1941.

A healthy democracy is at risk over inequality, says former President @BarackObama. "Our democracy is not going to be healthy with the levels of inequality that we've seen, generated from globalization, automation, the decline in unions, obscene inequality."
