Exactamente Carlos. This is a disgrace. No reason to have assault rifles circulating.

I been signing petitions since Sandy Hook @sandyhook

This school had prayer.
This school had no drag shows.
This school had a mass shooting.

Enough.
It’s the guns.

Amigo. Hermano. 🥺🥺🥺 We’ve never met IRL but we are familia! And we know the journey is hard for us POC. You deserve all the affirmation & tangible support we can give.

I believe in you! I’m so damn proud of you. You are so loved!

[Inés Velásquez-McBryde @INESmcbryde]

I finished reading the report last month as well. Didn’t wanna trigger survivors by posting ab it. But apparently I didn’t need to worry ab that. 😔

I grieve for victims of abuse in this Vanier system. And for the current rhetoric that perpetuates abuse shrouded in mysticism 🤢

“All that time I’d obsessed over having a male covering, a mind-boggling number of male leaders were providing a covering all right. They were covering up sexual abuse.”

So Arkansas Governor wants to ban CRT at the historical Little Rock Central High to erase what exactly… the legacy of the Little Rock Nine & their sacrifice to integrate in 1957? And current civil rights initiatives?

Brave students indeed. I agree w/ you Senator @xjelliott

[Joyce Elliott @xjelliott]

These brave students are raising their voices.

Lament that the
sacred work of
The Holy Spirit
in our Spanish
communities
are often dismissed
and under reported.

Beloved,
revivals have been
happening
in our brown,
black,
and Asian churches,

but
journalists,
editors,
and publishers only
cover the white ones.

[Inés Velásquez-McBryde @INESmcbryde]

@richvillodas Thank you for your admittance. This book is a disgrace and everything we as pastoras are up against even as we build new expressions of church. We have a group in our church right this minute deconstructing this very harm we carry in our bodies as a result@pf purity culture.

@pastorgricel YOU. 😘

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Often, what happened after an event is what actually causes the trauma. Did people believe you? Were you shamed? Did you have emotional support? Most people see trauma as what happens to us, when it’s actually: how did people respond to us.

[Inés Velásquez-McBryde @INESmcbryde]

the art & theology of friendship. something we all have to unlearn & relearn w grace & joy.

You know you have authentic friends in your life when:

[Inés Velásquez-McBryde @INESmcbryde]

What sticks out to me ab your book, Drew, is how you skillfully weave your precious story w the story of Luke in such imaginative ways. Makes the gospel of Jesus come alive as I see your life.

I read 2 of your poems every morning with cafecito. Sip slowly & let your words sink.

Pedro Joaquin, my dad and I have been praying for this & are ecstatic at their release. A miracle! Mi papa comprende. He was once a political prisoner too.

Viva Nicaragua Libre un día.

¡Feliz por ti amigo! 😭 🇳🇮

Destierro si, pero en libertad.

Gracias comunidad de Twitter por la solidaridad con los presos políticos políticos de Nicaragua y sus familiares.

liberation of ex-presidential female candidata Cristiana Chamorro. I have preferential treatment for women in leadership unjustly treated.

When insecure men in power feel threatened, they want our demise.

They may have stripped u of ur nicaraguan citizenship but not ur worth.
