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.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

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.

And you thought "Taking A Knee" was too much!?!

[Prop @prophiphop]

Wait wait wait wait. These people got into the Capital building, and are still alive?!

Love (&) Truth

Love can’t be limited to those who look like us, share our beliefs or have never offended/harmed us.

Truth isn’t simply a weapon to destroy our adversaries. It destroys our former selves & exposes our own tribe as well.

[Carlos A. Rodríguez @CarlosHappyNPO]

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.”

So let’s try his sequence um k?

Thank you Deborah Oppenheimer & Mark Jonathan Harris for creating a beautiful film that captures so much of the joy & heartbreak facing those touched by the Child Welfare System. And thank you @jamieleecurtis for being gracious & making this #fostermama’s night! #HBO #FOSTERdoc

[Delegate Melissa Wells @ElectWells]

In this tragic era of Zipcode data destiny, why are we still not approaching poverty/ineq/injustice from a System’s change lens!? How many more reports about the ecosystem of poverty & despair do we need before we really fix the problem?

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

[AACOFosterAdoptiveParenting @AACOFosterAdopt]

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.
