@SkyeJethani Any book recommendations to read together and discuss with a family member who is very serious about their faith, but ensnared by far right evangelical politics?

@SkyeJethani What if the the website designer only makes LGBTQ wedding websites. Should the state be able to force that business to create a website for a straight wedding?

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

@SkyeJethani @philvischer Part of my family is taken in by stolen election conspiracy theories. I have a hard time engaging them on the topic seriously but feel the need to better understand their perspective to actually engage. Somewhat new to Holy Post, have you addressed this?

@bobsmietana My church made an effort a couple years ago to get everyone in the church to go through the FPU curriculum. I was a college student at the time and led a group of other college students.

It's easy to be mad at people like Ted Cruz and pretend they are the problem. But this is exactly how our society is built. Do the hard work of imagining a better world and find a way to contribute to it's fruition.

As always, @ no one in particular but myself.

@AnthonyMBarr "Initiative" gets me every time. Far too many i's for one word.

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

Lol.

He's gone. And now, it is up to us to drive out what he represents. He is lies and bigotry and injustice and tyranny embodied--and the work is only beginning to drive him out of our body politic.

Joy, today.

Resolve, tomorrow.

Just in case anyone on the timeline still thinks we shouldn't be addressing Christian nationalism in our churches.

"Jesus Christ, we invoke your name!" During the Capitol siege on January 6th, the QAnon Shaman and other Christian terrorists prayed inside the House chambers. h/t @hemantmehta @NewYorker cc: @doctorow

@okayokeeffe Please tell me this isn't an actual quote.

@tweetraychang @JemarTisby @danielhill1336 @davidswanson Many thanks. I've spent my whole life at a predominantly white megachurch based in rural/conservative PA, so I've had to turn to some new sources for spiritual guidance in recent months. Your feed has certainly been helpful. God bless.

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

@tweetraychang having conversations with friends, family, and leaders of my church about Christian nationalism but finding myself ill-equipped. Any suggestions on top resources on what it is and why it is imperative that we denounce and dismantle it?

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

Find time to take care of yourself this week. We could be in for a rough one.

[POLITICO @politico]

The FBI is warning of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals and in Washington in the days leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration https://t.co/xk3iK9WLsr

For months I've been looking forward to finally unfollowing Trump on January 20...I guess I'll need to come up with a new plan to celebrate. Ideas?

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

@brennankastens That syllabus might have been the last thing I read for the honors college.

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

It's sad that an ice cream company speaks with more moral clarity than most Christan churches

[Ben & Jerry's @benandjerrys]

Yesterday was not a protest—it was a riot to uphold white supremacy.
(1/8)

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

Silver lining: paired with events from last summer, today provides real, concrete examples for discussing nationalism, white supremacy, privilege, and state violence against poc. It will be harder for luke-warm Trump supporters to deny the dangers of Trumpism after today's images

[Jesse Whiteman @jlwhiteman96]

Real question, do mobs actually pause in the middle of mobbing to check twitter to see if their mob boss be tweeted anything?
