America was founded on the promise of religious freedom. It is a right—not a privilege—to worship as you choose.
Muslims are our neighbors, teachers, nurses, small business owners, and public servants. They belong here.
Rep. Ogles’ bigotry does not.

I have solved the AI slop problem by adding one rule to my GPT—never use the em dash (AI jazz hands).

Instead of focusing on the illegal war, maybe focus on what they are trying to protect. Lack of affordability starts with personal wealth inequality. This graph needs fixing and a war in Iran won't help.

Friends if you are a Christian now is the time to speak out about Christian Nationalism. There are both a national organization and in Michigan you can join us as we start in person local groups. I'll link to both groups in the comments.
Today marks 14 years since 17-year-old, unarmed Trayvon Martin was shot and killed while walking home.
14 years later, we’re still demanding a country where our children can walk home in peace — without being treated like a threat.
During the marathon campaign rally that Trump called his SOTU speech, he "unveiled" a proposal for the federal government to provide matching contributions of up to $1,000 per year to the retirement accounts of low-wage earners.
It's a great idea. It is also already a law signed by Biden in 2022.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

The billionaires of the military industrial complex don't want you to know this.
Typical American working families pay 26.4% of their income in taxes so as to line the pockets of billionaires in the defense industry.
Meanwhile many of them, like Trump, pay 0% in taxes.
Wake up America!

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.
Customer: “My friend spilled beer into my computer.”

Met a new pastor whose church phone number ended in 6666.
I jokingly told him it was known as “Satan’s church.”
Later i found out he changed the number at a special meeting. There was a huge backlash. Protests. Folks brought fast food to potlucks!
I really should come with a warning label.
New Ordination / Installation Question: Will you subscribe to the Presbytery’s official email communications, faithfully check your inbox, read and respond as appropriate, and act upon matters entrusted to you by email for the good order and shared ministry of the church?
When the regional body shut down, it crossed out decades of carefully labeled folders and marked them all “Nevada Presbytery.” Now we have boxes full of files that are neither records nor refuse, but in between, neither saved nor lost. Just hovering in administrative limbo, awaiting final judgment.
If you’re looking for alternative programming to the State of the Union, I’ve got you covered.

Trump (@realDonaldTrump) stating that, working with Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, a “great hospital boat” is being sent to Greenland to care for sick people and that “It’s on the way!!!

Engagement icons and counts are visible beneath the post.
