In Ps.136:26 today: 'O give thanks to the God of heaven, for his steadfast love endures forever. We have been blessed to be blessing people. Resurrection shows up as the enoughness of God. Bread and fish enough. Peace enough. Community enough. Thanks is my work today.

Good morning, beloved. Nothing gets done until somebody does it. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

There is something profoundly alienating about living with the imminent prospect of inevitable atrocity. Unable to not take seriously the possibility, unable to stop it, and laundry still needs to be done.

Every time I hear it.

Good morning, beloved. We cannot heal if we bypass discomfort. The path to wholeness goes through lament. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

In Ps. 142:7 today: 'Bring me out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name.' Holy Saturday is the intersection of unreckonable loss and unseen transformation. We pray for the wrongly detained, an escalating war, and an exodus for this moment. Out is my work today.

Victory remains with love. youtu.be/_U2JMZDt7m0?...

The #UMC in its Social Principles unequivocally supports equal protection for transgender and non-binary people. “God so loved the whole world and in every life is a reflection of divinity...,” writes Bishop Julius C. Trimble of @umcjustice.bsky.social.

We have some weekend Prospect! Project Hail Mary is a movie about the nations of the world working together to save the planet. You know, fiction. @ryanlcooper.com writes that it's a gut punch to see cooperation and mutual respect as real heroism: prospect.org/2026/03/28/p...

In Ps.5:7 today: 'But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house.' Abundant love is the light about us. Racism is a fear & scarcity narrative. We must choose abundance for the flourishing of all. Worship peace's source. Abundance is my work today.

Good morning, beloved. You have what it takes to make a difference. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

In Ps.14:5 today: '...the One Above Us All stands with the good-hearted of every generation' (FNV). Stand with the racially profiled. Stand with human dignity. We are in a 'love your neighbor' moment so that we may be changed. 'Standing with' the Prince of Peace is my work today.

Good morning, beloved. Peace will not make itself. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Someone once referred to Ireland as “a land of happy wars and sad love songs.” Much has changed; much remains the same. youtu.be/p9suTOPc6uI?...

Good morning, beloved. Sometimes, whimsy is what the soul needs. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

In the wake of the "QuitGPT" wave of conscientious objectors, I wrote about how all hyperscalers are creeps and grifters, and how their Gen AI products are specifically going to make your life suck over the next 18 months before the industry implodes medium.com/@patchgaley/...

In a divided, disconnected, and dehumanizing world, to seek change can seem overwhelming. You don't have to do all the things; take one step, one thing that moves you in the direction of a better world. Divine love will be with you.

This is your general periodic reminder that Congressional Republicans could stop this (gestures at everything) any time. Seriously, any time. In fact, it's their job to check the president. They're shirking their duties.

What does it mean for us being human when a massacre does not stop you in your tracks? In this essay I examine the various ways in which scholars have tried to imagine the undoing of the endless night of the Zong, the undoing of a world we cannot live within. folukeafrica.com/what-you-do-...

Eisenhower

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1.5 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. The military industrial complex is cheering today.

I picked my seminary for other reasons, but when I found out that Rev. Jackson was an alum, it was further confirmation that I was in the right place. emptywheel.net/morality-is-...

I fully lost my mind this is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard???????????

In Ps. 31:24 today: 'be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord.' These days require courage to seek the truth, live by facts, and act responsibly. Cultivate a strong inner life. Make the peace bigger than the chaos. Courage is my work today.

For years I've told the joke: You know what's so great about hitting yourself in the head with a hammer? It feels so good when you stop. We need a solid building trades program so that these guys can learn the right way to look good with a hammer.

I feel this so strongly. Covid was a test of our moral integrity & decency -- *not just elites, but all of us* -- and we failed. I genuinely think one reason Covid has been memory-holed so hard, & so crusted w/ myths & conspiracy theories, is that on some level we know this & are ashamed.

All right, the dogs want walks but it's raining so I'm procrastinating. Gonna do a thread that's been on my mind for a long while, about exactly what "never again" means. "Never again" got famous after the Holocaust & it's frequently deployed since--in response to, say, the US Japanese internment.

I’m a longtime fan of Terry Pratchett and lamented the end of new Discworld novels. This week I realized that I had missed the Tiffany Aching books and bought the boxed set. So happy.

Same goes for guilt and fear.

In Ps.36:9: 'Within you is the spring of life. In your light, we see light.' Light does not come only to the powerful. Light blesses all. Light turns to sugar to produce fruit. Lent is a season to examine life and fruit. Solidarity with the vulnerable. Light is my work today.

“I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.” - 7 year old imprisoned by ICE for 70 days in a concentration camp in Texas. Today, after @propublica.org published this story, the camp was raided to confiscate letters from the children. www.propublica.org/article/ice-...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

In Ps.41:12 today: 'You support me in my integrity...' Integrity, wholeness, isn't arrived at but a direction. God sustains that movement in grace & love. Deeper love of neighbor is needed now. Integrity between word & action. Wholeness & healing. Integrity is my work today.

“DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law” is excellent framing

“A modern-day concentration camp” Seamus Culleton, an Irishman still detained by Trump’s ICE goons for 5 MONTHS (making private prisons rich), here LEGALLY for two decades, married to a citizen— describes horrific conditions: www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Good morning, beloved. You’ve never seen a day quite like today before. You’ll never see it again. What a gift! Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

Strength blesses.

you know it's bad when they would rather us think that a rando staffer has unfettered access to the social media accounts of the President of the United States, where we also now know that world leaders direct message him

Good morning, beloved. Release what you must. Steward what you can. Be generous in all. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.
