@NashvilleSC @GEODISPark Are you going to buy me a new Nalgene bottle to replace the empty one I had to discard at the Seattle Sounders game last month?

Dear @GovBillLee -
Today’s execution is only hours away. You are the only one who can stop it. And the men whose lives are at stake have asked to pray with you. Please visit Riverbend today and meet with them.

Dear @GovBillLee, I'm not sure you remember me, but we met (or at least had our longest conversation) in a hallway at the Tennessee Prison for Women where we recalled that I'd had 3 of your kids as high school students. https://t.co/4bvdIvGfiF

@Clemmons4Mayor re: affordable housing. Need to address income equality also!

‘Build More Housing’
Is No Match for Inequality.

A new analysis finds that liberalizing zoning rules and building more won’t solve the urban affordability crisis, and could exacerbate it.

Welfare for conservatives against welfare. But even more insidiously, this is buying votes. The Trump administration buys White conservative votes and suppresses the votes of his enemies—and neither is an international corruption scandal. What a time to be alive.

After the Civil War, heroic individuals rebuild their lives and rededicated the nation. At the same time, angry and desperate men warped our politics in ways that still echo.

Let's take a look at Reconstruction, shall we? /1

On #GoodFriday we remember that we have a God who suffered unimaginable violence... a God who knows what if feels like to lose a son to murder... a God who even feels the absence of God, saying: "Why have you forsaken me?"

But death does not get the last word.
