A low bar for Andy Barr and Kentucky’s US Senate campaign β€’ Kentucky Lantern Watching Republican Andy Barr’s ad inflaming white hysteria, we see we are stuck in the past, in racist tropes, in in immoral morass of bigotry

Commentary by Teri Carter

I watched Barr’s ad more than a dozen times, and the central message seems to be: I am a white Christian man who will make liberals cry.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

No Kings in Lexington, KY with my mom. Two former Republicans who once believed the lie that the GOP is the Christian party. Indoctrination is a helluva drug but so glad we woke up. Now we stand against Christian nationalism & MAGA because it's the opposite of Jesus' teachings.

If I could make everyone read one book it would be β€œSeparation of Church and Hate” by @johnfugelsang.bsky.social. This was the bridge I needed to connect my parochial school upbringing to my current open-eyed view of the world. There is hope for even the most hateful.

Poem entitled β€œThe Right to Bear Arms”

And what about everything else we could do with our arms, should we go on living freely - free as in we go to the coffee shop and keep
living, free as in our kids go to school and come back still living, free as in we get on the subway and arrive at home still living, free as in we go to the market and leave
with arms full of lettuce, of fruit, of squash, of berries?
I do not want to spend the rest of this lifetime with our arms wrapped around each other in grief of the same story in a different city, a different street, a different school, a different mall, a different movie theatre, shaking our heads. I want to spend our lives bearing softness, bearing the stories of what we've survived, bearing testimonies of the ways we made the world safe for the living to go on living.

Bullets don't care if you are a Republican or Democrat. Reality is over 400,000,000 guns and too much hate. Political violence is happening to both parties. We need leaders to step up. Truly sorry for Charlie Kirk and his family. He was wrong. It is not worth it.

The SPLC denounces Gov. Brian Kemp's decision to deploy #Georgia National Guard service members to #WashingtonDC in support of the Trump admin's takeover.

The SPLC will continue working with partners & monitoring the ongoing situation in D.C. Read our statement: www.splcenter.org/presscenter/...

Kentucky’s 6th now has 3 Rs and 3 Ds in the mix. One thing I've noticed is the R candidates talk about going to DC to fight for Trump while Ds talk about fighting for Kentucky.

I think most of us just want leaders who put regular people first. Not a billionaire or a political brand.

The federal cuts taking place are a betrayal of rural America. Cuts to Medicaid will hammer rural economies, cut health-care jobs and strip families of coverage. Cuts to the US Dept. of Education will hurt rural public schools, leaving kids behind.

America deserves better.

In Governor @andybeshearky.bsky.social’s Kentucky accent, β€œwe ain’t getting over it.”

These KY GOP backed cuts will cause Kentucky families across our Commonwealth a lot of pain.

In America, keeping books about gay penguins out of the hands of schoolchildren is a priority.

Keeping bullets out of their bodies is not.
