During WWII, four brothers from the same Jewish family signed up to fight against the Nazis. Only one of the four brothers survived.

His grandson is the current President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky.

I ask you to be vigilant against the temptation to cultivate a warlike spirit. Be vigilant lest you be poisoned by propaganda that instils hatred, divides the world into friends to be defended and foes to be fought.

When I joined the Biden Administration in January 2021 and went to work at USAID I got a comprehensive briefing from the stellar career staff, as every incoming official does. I immediately asked, what had the Trump Administration been doing in terms of funding faith partnerships like Catholic Relief Services? They were funding them ROBUSTLY. I said, very smart, they get the job done. We ended carrying forward those partnerships and funding them even more. Why? Because faith-based orgs like CRS are some of America’s best partners when administering aid and relief. Now, so many will suffer. This is an unfolding human tragedy that was and still remains completely reversible.

[Andrew Kaczynski @KFILE]

Just 3 years ago Rubio wrote a letter to Biden suggesting they *increase* the USAID budget as a tool to “counter the CCP’s expanding global influence.”

Contradicting comments he made Monday that dismissed concerns of China stepping in where USAID left.

Keep watch, dear Lord,
with those who wake, or watch, or weep this night,
and give your angels charge over those who sleep.
Tend the sick,
give rest to the weary,
sustain the dying,
calm the suffering,
and pity the distressed;
all for your love’s sake, O Christ our Redeemer.
Amen

Here's the share of each state that was atheist, agnostic, or nothing in particular in 2008 and 2022.

In 2008, there were high concentrations of nones on the West Coast and the Northeast.

By 2022, the nones had risen above 35% in almost every state in the union.

@natalieymoore @JasonAEngland1 Thanks for posting. "Anything that exists long enough in America to have a legitimate history becomes subject to this: The goal of our hyper-capitalist society is to flatten, standardize, and refashion anything counterculture into something that serves its bottom line."

Someone needs to hear this: it’s ok to outgrow people. It’s ok to change your mind. It’s ok to have new values. It’s ok to want different things from life.

[Steve Keeley @KeeleyFox29]

She’s 18. She got accepted to several universities. She picked Morgan State to study mechanical engineering. She vanished last Monday, June 5th. She’s now missed her prom. She missed her Motivation High School graduation Friday. Her name is Shalayla Porter. 1/2

True for the @Cov_Church as well. Sadly, leadership continues to choose dogma over life.

[Rick Warren @RickWarren]

I listen to pastors. 16,000 respond to my letter to them They're tired of angry fighters & scared by the climate of fear & exclusion created by powerbrokers

Why can't we return to the original Baptist Vision of unity through a mission, not a confession.
That would heal the SBC

To be clear, I don’t think any famous people ever heard me preach but the general spirit of the tweet I sign on to.
