Writer, minister, actor, director, husband. Not in that order. Writing curriculum, fiction, and also about faith. @TheParkForum and @MinAccelerator

Serious and silly, side by side. Both are needed to cope and survive in our world. If you can't handle serious takes on theology and politics sandwiched between silly quotes, memes, etc., "Get used to disappointment."

For our nation's 250th, have a "La Marseillaise" moment like the one from Casablanca. Don't let MAGA steal #Patriotism from you. Out sing them. Drown them out. #America250 #Casablanca #Sing

Showing someone reaching failure in a workout, whether it is pull-ups or weights, is not the "own" you think it is. There are more substantive critiques to make of Hegseth. Stop wasting time and energy. The step over video was funny, tho.

@megbasham Oof. Big lie? Or big ignorance? There have been a lot of female pastors in SBC history. You are in error because you do not know the scriptures, Baptist history, or the power of God.

[john tillman @jtillhuman]

There's a BIG difference between a person who's done wrong in the past and owned up to it and apologized for it and one who denies it, lies about it, or pays porn stars to keep quiet about it.

Supporting the first kind of person is in no way equal to supporting the second.

Are you in the US for the #WorldCup? Thanks for coming! Welcome! But watch out for those American drink sizes at @whataburger! Do some wrist strengthening exercises first!

[john tillman @jtillhuman]

Trump loves the inflation that's killing you. Just in case you wondered.

[Bill Kristol @BillKristol]

An appropriate post from Zelensky on the anniversary of D-Day. Nothing from Trump. Which is appropriate, since Zelensky is a fighter against tyranny, unlike Trump.

"Now, far-right figures like Wolfe—whose funding appears to come from outside the SBC as part of a broader right-wing political agenda..."

The SBC is being coopted for a political agenda. Reject it and the people who are funded by it.

[Danny Boy @Care2much18]

This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade.

It's hard to know where to even start.

I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1

Corruption blooms. Integrity wilts. The arrogant gloat. The humble are shamed. We don’t resolve this dissonance by modulating our morality…We don’t give in.

Christians who voted for Donald Trump have suddenly decided that it's bad to vote for someone who doesn't believe the same things you do. Weird time to become hyper-focused on that.
🤷🏼‍♂️

[john tillman @jtillhuman]

@EsotericCD @RiffRaf979 @NRO Oh no. What if we find out he raped a reporter? Or cheated on all of his three wives? Or paid a porn star for sex while his wife was pregnant? Or he thinks it's a perk to go into dressing rooms of underage beauty contestants and see them unclothed? MAGA'd vote for him then.

[john tillman @jtillhuman]

This is good.

[john tillman @jtillhuman]

The same people who trash George Floyd's memory are praising and memorializing a gorilla. Just in case you want to know where you stand.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Today, we remember a legend.

On this day in history, Harambe would have celebrated another birthday. An icon that became part of internet history, American culture, and an entire generation’s timeline.

Tomorrow marks 10 years since we lost him. Ten years since the moment the world stopped scrolling and collectively mourned something bigger than a meme.

He became a symbol of loyalty, strength, chaos, unity, and the strange beauty of the internet bringing millions of people together for one cause: never forgetting Harambe.

Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. And somehow, a decade later, his legacy still lives on.

Gone, but never forgotten.
Rest easy to a true patriot. 🕊️🇺🇸

Forever in our hearts.

Where have all the #MAGA #Rhetoric police gone? Are they even listening to their guy? Some consistency would help.

[Matt @realmattcarr]

Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder by a jury of his peers. A three-judge panel affirmed his conviction upon appeal. The Supreme Court of the United States, with a solid conservative majority, allowed his convictions to stand by declining his case. Meg: "don't accept reality."

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

So let me get this straight…

We don’t have money for SNAP.

We don’t have money for healthcare.

We don’t have money for public schools.

We don’t have money for veteran services.

We don’t have money for affordable housing.

We don’t have money for mental health services.

We don’t have money for roads and infrastructure.

But we have $1.8b for the insurrectionists who stormed the Capitol on January 6th?

[Thomas Massie for Congress @MassieforKY]

I did not see this coming, but my election has become an inflection point for our whole country. Today we make history.

Will you be part of this historic day by voting, calling friends who can vote, posting to social media, or making a donation?

Spread the word fellow patriots!
