* * new song out now! * *
"the days are long but the years fly by
along the way we were hit with friendly fire
I want to go back to us against the world"
it's produced and mixed by @ThomDaugherty so put it on your best speakers and turn it up.

If voting requires a specific type of government documentation and that documentation is not easily, equally available and costs money to obtain, then you’ve implemented a poll tax.
I need everyone following me to understand that the red line is ignoring court orders and we’re there. It’s happening. This week, and how we all respond, will matter tremendously for the next few decades of America.
A ministry’s curriculum cannot be “Gospel-centered” when its org. structure is money-centered.
I’m becoming increasingly convinced that the “church” on the whole is anti-Christ.
“You wonder why I’m leaving to find Jesus on the wrong side of your walls.” @DanielDeitrich
In 2016, 81% of white evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump. This past week, 81% of white evangelical Christians voted for Donald Trump. Again.
Our friend wrote “@DanielDeitrich Hymn for the 81%” several years ago and it remains as relevant today as the day he wrote it.
It feels like hard work sometimes to love a church that feels so distant from our Savior, Jesus Christ:
You said to love the lost
So I’m loving you now
You said to speak the truth
So I’m calling you out
Why don’t you live the words
That you put in my mouth
May love overcome
and justice roll down
From Dan: “This song is a lament. It’s a loving rebuke. It’s a plea for the 81%, to come home to the way of Jesus.”
May love overcome and justice roll down.
Be clear: the Right’s racism is about to go in hyperdrive. And it’s on us to defend and protect black women — and by proxy, every other marginalized group — to defeat the worst of American impulses. They’re going to say a black woman can’t win. It’s a lie. She can and will.
"Imagine my dismay
When I watched you lead the sheep to the wolves...
You weaponized religion
And you wonder why I'm leaving...
May love overcome & justice roll down."
This Sunday, have a listen to this haunting lament of a hymn from @DanielDeitrich.

it was great to have @JerradChristian on our most recent @VoteCommon border experience. now to get him elected to congress so we can fix our broken, inhumane immigration system.
We are the government - and every choice is made in our names. Never forget how you want to be represented.
I went to Mexico to learn and to see a world unfiltered by press or the opinions of another.
The suffering of our fellow humans should never be hidden from our site.
We need to rebuild our nation and our world on foundations of stone - kindness, thoughtfulness, intelligent choices.
Not the foundations of sand - fear, hate, and division.
We must work to lift others out of despair and anger and I can say with all confidence, when their lives are better, our lives are better
Here’s an interesting #BHM challenge:
You get to choose any three people, living or dead, to answer 1 question:
Who is responsible for saving the most lives in all of human history?
I’d argue than no one can beat my team.
A thread.
In my view, the key CPAC story isn’t that right-wing influencer Jack Posebiec said, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely.”
The story is how many Republican lawmakers are absolutely silent about it.
May I suggest the media ask every Congressional member who speaks at CPAC, and every Republican presidential candidate for that matter, the following three questions:
1) Do you reject Jack Posebiec’s comments?
2) Do you support democracy?
3) Do you respect the separation of church and state?
And don't stop asking until you get answers.
I believe journalists have a duty to uncover just how deep the threat to American democracy runs.
It’s the answers that should frighten us. Never the questions.
