You can’t describe what’s happening in the Capitol as a “small group of extremists” when they’re being supported by the president, 16% of the Senate, 1/4 of the House, the local police forces & officials at the Pentagon.
These Trump supporters are scaling the walls of the Capitol as police stand by and watch.
(I’ve been arrested at the Capitol for simply HOLDING A SIGN... We even had a police officer say he would arrest us if we didn’t stop singing and praying.)
This is unbelievable.

Truth isn’t simply a weapon to destroy our adversaries. It destroys our former selves & exposes our own tribe as well.
Yes, Jesus said “Go and sin no more”.
But that was after he saved the woman from an oppressive system that wanted to kill her.
And after calling out the hypocrisy of its religious leaders.
And after telling her, “I don’t condemn you.”

2/3 We can help them to respect themselves, or we can tear down their self-esteem by treating them disrespectfully and as unimportant. We have the power to do great food or great harm. Today, let me remember my power & take care to use it wisely. - Anonymous
1/3 We have a lot of power! As authorities, let us be careful to never use power for petty or vindictive ends. To never thoughtlessly reject a child. We can affirm their sense of value, or we can damage them with a casual joke or comment at their expense.
