Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned us about the dangers of stupidity and his writings are starkly relevant today. Here are some thoughts. festivalcenter.org/2026/03/16/r...

Even in the midst of chaos we find glimpses of liberation through community and celebration. Here is what we found just this week. festivalcenter.org/2026/03/09/g...

Rest in power Bernard Lafayette. Freedom fighter, civil rights leader, husband, father, hero. Thank you for your life of service and love.

OK, the rumors are true. We are considering hiring Kristi Noem. But she will have to get her own damn blanket. No free rides at the Festival Center. #sarcasm

Our newest Budget Platform is live! 🎉🎉🎉 "DC Takes Care of Our Own: A Budget for Care and Sustainability" is a deepening of our commitment to a shared vision of a DC with self-sustaining communities - ones that are TRULY invested in and cared for 🌱 Read the platform: bit.ly/WeGotUsDC #WeGotUsDC

We stand wholeheartedly with @fairbudgetdc.bsky.social in urging the DC Council to pass a budget that ensures genuine public safety and that means stopping entirely the collaboration between ICE and MPD

This is testimony given by @billmefford.bsky.social to the DC Council Committee on Public Safety on their complete lack of accountability of MPD festivalcenter.org/2026/03/02/a...

So, the Supreme Court strikes down trump's tariffs, but they are totally cool if he is never held accountable for committing war crimes and mass corruption on a scale never seen before. SCOTUS is just as corrupt and morally vacuous as POTUS is.

Some thoughts on ordination as a calling more than a career festivalcenter.org/2026/02/16/o...

Racism is endemic in the United States, but trump is reaching to new depths of hatred and bigotry. festivalcenter.org/2026/02/09/a...

Our liberation is both a calling and a choice, the result of divine initiative and human free will. festivalcenter.org/2026/02/02/d...

What drives me nuts is that it took videoing the murder of two people in Minnesota for elected Democrats to openly want to stop funding DHS and ICE. If Alex Pretti and Renee Good are not murdered, then they would be funding DHS without any hesitation. Why do we trust Democrats again?

If we want to save government spending can we please, for the love of God, STOP the military flyovers over games? This happens at almost every game and they are close to $40,000 a pop. Think of how many people we could feed and house and educate with that money.

The truth is ICE has been a group of domestic terrorists since it's inception. Yes, we need to resist them now and yes we need to defund them now. We should have never funded them under Obama or Bush. Defund them now. Defund them forever.

Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun. Any second now, I'm sure. He was a white guy, if that helps? Hello? NRA?

If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

It's been a hard start to the year. But at least the Steelers lost tonight.

Whether it is ICE or local police departments, law enforcement in this country has long been a source of control and oppression. The murder of Renee Good is only the latest example. festivalcenter.org/2026/01/12/k...

It is long past time for the DC Council and the Mayor of DC to come out and demand ICE leave.

If the Baltimore Ravens hire Kevin Stefanski, I am rotting for the Ravens next year. Yep, I said it.

While this administration continually chooses violence and death, we are reminded that the way of peace is challenging but also prosperous for all. festivalcenter.org/2026/01/05/9...

We are promised peace through the presence of our military, but Advent reminds us peace is not found through force, but rather, linking ourselves with the most vulnerable in actions of solidarity. festivalcenter.org/2025/12/15/9...

The time to end ICE-MPD collaboration is NOW!!

We've heard so much about the DOGE raids but have very little physical evidence of what they were actually like. It's weird to be able to see an instance of it actually happening—the mundanity of it all. how the cops were jovially complicit.

“I thought you worked for us” is another very common refrain. MPD does NOT work for DC residents

“We thought you were our friends” is a pretty common refrain for MPD and many members of the DC Council these days

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

We Keep Us Safe!!

The DC I know is worth fighting for. I’m Janeese Lewis George, and I’m running for Mayor. youtu.be/aOBD45c3wVM

I do not doubt that Hegseth and trump committed war crimes. You know who else committed war crimes? Bush and Cheney. Let's start with them. Once we hold them accountable all other war crimes might actually stop.

I could not care less about Ole Miss and I hope Lane Kiffin never wins another game in his life

The sadness of fall fading away and giving way to winter reminds us that no season lasts forever. And given our current political climate, that is a good reminder to have. festivalcenter.org/2025/11/24/9...

I have seen this kind of poor leadership up close and personal. Indeed, we keep us safe.

Shocking, the Browns drafted two really average quarterbacks. I have never called for Stefanski to be fired. But I’m getting closer and closer.

Just came across this. U.S. Bishops make $186K. One hundred eighty six thousand dollars. So thankful for United Methodist bishops #strugglingforJesus. #sarcasm www.nyac.com/newsdetail/b...

The Democratic Party is useless

There is damage done to the Democratic for even CONSIDERING giving in without getting anything.

Mike Pence showed us all the kind of Christian he is not by standing up to trump in his treatment of immigrants, but by standing up to trump for his treatment of tariffs. The kind of Christian Pence is? An evangelical Christian.

With job cuts surging it's a good thing so many DEI programs were cut so that corporations could be freed up to go after the best employees...

I was excited about the results from Tuesday's election results up until I heard elected Democrats talk about it. My God, they REALLY do not get it. Voters do not care about about labels like socialist. We want affordability. We do not want you to go negotiate with trump. We want you to DEFEAT him.

A-F-F-O-R-D-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y Voters don't care about if someone is a socialist or democrat or republican or marxist-leninist-trotskyite-stalinist. I also am not sure voters really care about threats to democracy or voting rights. Right or wrong, people are realizing they can't afford to live anymore.

Besides Mamdani, it really wasn't the candidates. It was how freaking pissed off the electorate is. That is why Dems are crushing it tonight. Spanberger and Sherrill are both meh. The Dem candidate for VA AG ran a truly HORRIBLE race! It wasn't you who won. It was us. We were pissed and we won.

The best part of the Spanberger win is that perhaps - probably unlikely, but perhaps - Republicans will stop politicking on their hatred of Trans people. It has been truly sickening to watch all of the campaign ads.

No, I am relieved Winsome did not win obviously, but I am not excited about Abigail Spanberger. She is a very conservative Democrat - essentially, a Republican from the 90s. Virginia will not be moving forward on criminal justice and likely not on taxes either. This is a blah win.

I had a dream that I was on a subway with Pete Hegseth and I kept saying to him, over and over again the same line and for whatever reason (it was a dream) he could not respond. The line I kept saying was, "Diversity is our greatest strength." Yes, there is a reason I woke up in the best mood.

Happy Halloween!!

The obtuse and timid attitudes of Mayor Bowser and Councilmember Pinto are simply remarkable to me. They show a complete indifference to real and actual suffering of DC residents. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This is what I love to see - infighting leading to paralysis. The more distracted and immobilized they are the safer we are www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

I feel like there should be a national registry for houses that give away healthy treats or Bible verses or tooth brushes for Halloween. This holiday is NOT for our health and well-being so get into the spirit of it!
