As a Christian, I want to share a lament with you.
What we Christians get outraged about and what we don’t says a lot about our Christian reputation in the world.
This last week was a prime example.🧵
1/ For the first time in forever, I’m deleting a post because I’m inundated by people, particularly from MAGAland intent on misreading it. So, let me recap it and be crystal clear, as I’m not remotely interested in arguing with people all night.
I think the players should keep playing. Get on the field and then just stand there while their opponents obliterate them, continually bringing awareness to this and humiliating Spain's football federation.
The Spanish football federation announces that, instead of removing president Luis Rubiales, they will take legal action against player Jenni Hermoso as they claim she ‘lied’ about non-consensual kiss.
The federation also says players have an “obligation” to play for the national team after 81 female players said they would not play until Rubiales was removed, in solidarity with Jenni Hermoso.

@shaws please improve your Drive Up & Go experience (1) shoppers should have a way to approve and refuse substitutions (2) workers need better supports to find items. I can't tell you the number of times I was told an item was out, only to go inside and find it there on the shelf
