A judge just got arrested for not helping ICE do their job. That’s not justice, it’s intimidation. When compassion becomes a crime, democracy’s on life support. If this is the warm-up act, imagine the main show under Trump 2.0. This is a warning shot. Pay attention.

It’s a MAGA, MAGA, MAGA World And the rest of us are stuck in their absurd, dangerous farce.

"It’s fascism wrapped in a flag and dipped in Bible verses they haven’t read since Sunday School."

Maundy Thursday wasn’t a tender foot-washing moment, it was a radical act of defiance.

The events of Holy Week weren't martyrdom by mistake. They were a mic drop in motion.

The Bible Belt is a Noose How toxic theology strangles justice – and why it’s time to cut the damn rope.

MAGA Christians have turned fear into a brand, fascism into a campaign strategy, and Jesus into a mascot they drag to every political rally.

As I say in this week’s newsletter:
“Christian Nationalism doesn’t want Jesus – it wants a weapon in a tunic.”

Holy Week is a protest.

Standing in solidarity for justice and equality.

Holy Week called. It wants its story back from the Christian Nationalists.

Bless Their Bigoted Hearts Why Jesus Ain’t Scared of Trans Folks

“It’s time to bless their bigoted hearts, not with kind words but with fierce resistance.”

With GOP lawmakers pushing extreme laws (like in NC) to undermine democracy and target marginalized communities, love and justice are at stake.

"If your Christianity doesn’t break the chains of the marginalized, then it’s just a lullaby for the powerful."

Q: Do you believe Jesus was God? A: Rev Dr Mark Sandlin

Maybe instead of obsessing over exact words, we should focus on the points Jesus was making.

If your Christianity needs a culture war, it’s not founded in Love.

Noah’s Ark Wasn’t the First Flood Story? Nope.

Jesus - political? Hell yeah.

Two Creation stories in the Bible? Yep.

Nothing says ‘biblical family values’ like ignoring abuse, shaming women, and pretending LGBTQIA+ kids don’t exist.
