This UFC spectacle at the White House, dripping with corporate sponsors and pay-to-play billions is crass corruption. While families struggle to afford groceries, rent, and healthcare, we’re watching Trump play Gatsby on the People’s lawn.

This grift must end. We deserve better.

@aravosis What do you mean.....GET?! He's always been this way.

@ramdevkar07 Technically.....not. 3 BEST ACTOR Oscars, yes. Jack Nicholson also has 3, though his Terms of Endearment Oscar is for a Supporting role.

Pastor Kristian A. Smith spoke about the people who say that homosexuality is a sin

“You can't really get through to Christians when talking about sexuality if you don't deal with what they believe about sin. It doesn't matter what you say. You can say, ‘You know, Q+ people—they're the entire music ministry. We wouldn't have a church without them,’ and so on and so forth —all of these valid points. But at the end of the day, it always comes back to ‘but it's sinful.’

So in my theology, I deal with that directly. If the greatest commandment is the core of Jesus's message—because when he was asked, ‘What's the greatest?’ He said, ‘This is it. Everything hinges on this’ —then if love is the greatest commandment (love for God, neighbor, and self), the first rule of love is ‘do no harm.’ If I love you, I'm going to at least commit to not harming you. I can't help everybody—I’m a finite human being—but I can make a commitment to not harm anybody. So if the first commitment of love is ‘do no harm,’ then sin is anything that causes harm. That’s why I barely even use the term "sin" anymore. I talk about harm. Because sin is harm, and harm is sin. If something is not harming anybody, then it’s not a sin.

And if you can reorient your understanding of sin, maybe you can start to think differently about same-gender-loving people and trans people who are just living their lives, not harming anybody. They’re simply trying to live their truth. So then the question becomes: if they’re just trying to live their lives without harming anyone, and you, as a Christian, are condemning them and pushing them down, then you are the one causing harm. Right? So you are the one living in sin.”

The Voting Rights Act was reauthorized by Reagan and Bush, and enforced by a Republican Supreme Court majority for 55 years.

The idea that it was far-left partisan Democratic legislation is just ahistorical.

@mrbrianrowe I watched Network last week. She was fine in her 5 minutes - but it was MOST undeserving of an Oscar!

@AngelaButl82159 @For_Film_Fans I don't think it's fake at all - I remember seeing it. It may have been a couple years to so before she died, rather than th same year. But still - 100+ riding a trike? My hat's off to her!

@DavidKe017 @_JHokanson I was gonna say - let him get it out of his system now - & it's great time to learn!

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

[Fr. Myke, MSC @popmonkph]

The Pope is not a liberal woke. He is simply a Christian following the Lord. Those who label him as such and are angry at him for speaking against injustices are the ones willfully forgetting how to be disciples of Jesus Christ.

@BeschlossDC 2/2 - when the church voted it down (by manipulating vote), members of the church & the entire staff walked out of a Sunday service in 1970. The church they started is Baptist Church of the Covenant. That daughter is still a member, as all her children.💒

[Patrick Chappell @pchaps70]

@BeschlossDC Interesting footnote from B'ham, AL. That act integrated the housing units next to 1st Bap Bham, whose pastor was one of the recipients of MLK's Letter from a Jail. That integration led to a black woman & her daughter visiting- & later trying to join that church (1/2)
