I know this is a minority position but I love the goofy intro sentences students write. Since the dawn of time, humans have wondered about the mind. fuckin tell me about it man

@kaitlyna94 We had two and they taught me that my arms are weaker than I ever could have imagined. I would row and row against the waves and not move while Nathan crossed the entire lake ahead of me. We now have a double. #enabling

@Cali_Wilson But seriously, it’s heartbreaking.

Thx @Lin_Manuel ! Did you catch the 2 @HamiltonMusical references in the inaugural poem? I couldn’t help myself!

@BethMooreLPM I hate the song, but I found it so moving to hear a Latina proclaim that this land is her land. Super important message of defiance against anti-immigration policies and attitudes.

@NPR Bad theology has serious implications.

[Kara Wilson @klbeary]

@dianabutlerbass Yes. Thank you!

@dpcassidyC3 At this point, these people whose love for God I’ve treasured and respected my whole life are conditioned to stand by and support almost any despotic act Trump could think of because they’re so convinced God has revealed it in prophecy. These are my parents, family, friends. 😢

[Kara Wilson @klbeary]

@dpcassidyC3 I’ve watched my Pentecostal family & friends from all walks of life radicalized by random YouTube prophecy videos. They currently think Trump will instate martial law in the next week in order to carry out God’s plan of taking down a shadow govnt. They are prepped & hopeful.

[Kara Wilson @klbeary]

@bppfeiffer Worrying about how most Christians I know are convinced by YouTube prophecy videos that God had called Trump to take down a shadow government by instating martial law in the next week & mourning that they’re deceived enough to happily stand by & watch him do anything he wants.

I'd like to teach y'all a Southern phrase that will help you get off a phone/Zoom/Facetime call or you don't want to be on anymore but don't have an excuse to leave. Let me introduce you to the power of "Well, let me let you go"

@KatelynBeaty Really, it’s been brewing since at least the 80’s, but the Trump conspiracies veiled in prophecies establishing his role in a spiritual-warfare-based culture war for the soul of the nation have swept through average conservative white evangelical families over the last 9 months.

[Kara Wilson @klbeary]

@KatelynBeaty It’s nuts that for many living in rural white evangelical America, this article just states and explains what has been so obvious within our families and among our friends for the last 9 months (and earlier). I’m envious of people for whom this has to be explained.

The first time I saw this footage, I thought the officer was simply letting them and leading them further and further into the building. Wow.

[Susan Simpson @TheViewFromLL2]

@hudeatsbugs @igorbobic The officer initially scopes out the door, sees it's not guarded, and tries to block the way. More rioters pour up the stairs after them, and the officer seems to go with a new strategy – he shoves the first rioter, pissing him off, and then leads the whole mob the other way.

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

Historian of coups and right-wing authoritarians here. If there are not severe consequences for every lawmaker & Trump govt official who backed this, every member of the Capitol Police who collaborated with them, this "strategy of disruption" will escalate in 2021
