Via @SBXMutualAid "Thousands of asylum seekers are self-organized and mobilize their own actions, including calls for mutual aid support. Mutual aid is literally neighbors helping neighbors - so actual New Yorkers." #housingforall
The folks who say "stop talking politics in the wake of a tragedy," don't want to talk about grief, either.
The only prayer they're truly offering is "let's move on."
Just went to the bathroom & saw some water on the toilet seat and 4 little wet fingerprints on the toilet paper. Which means Bernie prob stuck his hand in the toilet and then touched the TP. So we sent him out in the world with toilet water hands. You win some you lose some.
It feels hard to preach these days and also I’m truly grateful to be with folks who are unapologetic about what the Gospel means, what it requires. Thanks for being church, @LAPCBrooklyn
Our topic was prayer in public schools, and we were assigned to argue against it. We were doing research in the library together and my friend looked at me as he was reading the constitution and, incredulous, said "Ya know, the way this thing's worded, it's in our favor!"
Sr year of high school, we had to do debates for government class. We could pick our topic but not which side we were arguing for. A friend & I decided to be partners because we were on different sides of every issue, so we figured one of us would argue for something we believed
My faith compels me to believe that —
reproductive choice should be accessible to all,
prayer does not belong in schools,
and the government should not fund religious education.
These beliefs are faithful Christian ones.
Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

I work for @PresbyPeace and I also give, because I believe in the work of this group of bold folks! It would mean so much if you would help us reach our goal of 150 new donors before the end of the year. We're nimble, so gifts of all sizes matter!
Do you care about moving white Christian people toward collective liberation? We have a goal of 150 new donors in 2021 (We already have 110!!) Will you make a donation of $5, $10, $25 today? https://t.co/LHQWUw7XlK
