I am a husband, a dad and a pastor, in that order.

I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trump’s rally in Pennsylvania. 

I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well. I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.

Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There’s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics. Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery.

@johnajonesIII Oh wow. Lots of houses around that

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.

@davidswanson Listen to the podcast “White People Work” by Scott Hall. He does what is, in my opinion, the best synthesis of scholarly work around this and offers superb analysis as a white Christian seeking to “come out from underneath whiteness”. @scutang

The City of Oakland is scaling up our preparation for the incoming storm— including offering more shelter capacity. MACRO teams are out connecting with our unhoused communities and anyone seeking shelter should call St. Vincent de Paul at [phone].

Flying @SouthwestAir on Christmas

Gate agent: “Attention folks, we have good news. We found a crew for your flight but are still looking for a pilot. We are currently interviewing someone.”

Me: looking at the stranger next to me. 😳 “Did they say interviewing?!?”

When will #prolife folks support policies that help families, i.e. universal healthcare, paid parental leave, high quality education starting w/pre-K, anti-poverty programs, healthy food access, affordable housing? Now seems like a good time
