Happy 11th birthday to #JudgeWaring! The old guy is slowing down a bit but is still his puppy self. He’s a good, good boy.

In the midst of grief over the mass shooting at Bondi Beach, I wish a Happy Hanukkah to all who celebrate across the globe. May you have a wonderful, joyous, and peaceful Hanukkah! May this be the start of a season of peace!

Guns need to be just as well regulated as automobiles, but they are not. Some have said that mass shootings at schools are the cost of freedom- that’s an argument Charlie Kirk made before he was shot and killed - but we must reject such thinking. #BrownUniversity

Big news from Pacific University and Willamette University. Change can be hard, even scary, but this is the kind of bold thinking needed today in higher education. ❤️🖤 www.oregonlive.com/education/20...

No War With #Venezuela It’s a dumb, illegal, and unnecessary idea. If Donald Trump were truly concerned with drug trafficking, he would never have pardoned Honduran drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández. Congress must rein Trump in to stop this madness.

To follow Donald Trump this Christmas is to forsake Jesus.

Want to Make America Great?

If the United States commits war crimes, those who gave the orders and those who carried them out should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Let justice roll.

If Jesus were born today, and fled as a refugee with his family to the United States to escape death as a child, Donald Trump and his ICE agents would separate him from Mary and Joseph- and deport him. The MAGA agenda is incompatible with God’s teachings. Remember that this Christmas.

Hope resists. It is in resisting evil that hope comes alive. Hope is soul food. It nourishes our spirit even during difficult times. Hope, however, is not passive- it is a call to build the Beloved Community.

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope your day has been blessed with family, friends, and good food! Peace be with you!

Be like Jesus. Love radically.

Ruth is my (step) sister-in-law. Right now, she is facing the scary prospect of losing her life without a kidney transplant. We cannot allow that, friends. If you know of someone who might be a donor, please reach out. (Cont.)

Liz and I were excited to briefly say hello to Malala Yousafzai, the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner and advocate for girls and education. A real treat. Malala Yousafzai is on a book tour for her latest, Finding My Way. A true person of courage. May God continue to bless and keep her.

It isn't being gay that is a sin. It's the bigotry and hate directed at the LGBTQ+ community that is truly sinful. It's a sin to oppose marriage equality, it's a sin to oppose anti-discrimination laws, it's a sin to oppose employment protections, because it is a sin to oppress another.

You know who would make an excellent replacement for Chuck Schumer as Democratic leader in the U.S. Senate? Jeff Merkley. www.jeffmerkley.com

Chuck Schumer seems ready to cave to Donald Trump on the government shutdown. I just made a contribution to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. My hope is that she will be the next U.S. senator from New York State. Democratic leaders who fail this test need to step aside.

I was a hungry child, and you went to court for permission to cut food benefits.

Jesus had harsh words for those in power who allowed hunger and poverty to thrive. To those who allow such suffering, Jesus said: “Depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” (Matthew 25:40-41 NRSV) www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMQBwuQ7/ #SnapBenefits

🚨 Breaking News: Portland Rallies Against Donald Trump. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTM2MkKe9/ #portland #portlandoregon

Donald Trump is terrified that Portland’s commitment to democracy, diversity and the common good will ultimately defeat the MAGA movement. He’s right. #Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump. More: www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025...

Those who practice white Christian nationalism should receive no honors, no accolades, only condemnation. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMR5Uq1H/ #charliekirk #charliekirkmemorial

Hello from Portland. This is Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie with a message for ICE Agents who follow Jesus and consider themselves people of faith. My message: Resign. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMdMW79J/ #iceraids

I agree with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley. The United States should recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Now. (cont.)

Nineteen years ago this week, I was ordained as a minister in the United Church of Christ. I’m thankful for the opportunity to serve God in this way. For 38 years, I’ve been blessed to work as an activist, educator, and minister. #BeBoldBeBraveBeCourageous

Here’s what is happening: the government is trying to silence opponents of the white Christian nationalism that #CharlieKirk embodied. There has never been a time more important to be outspoken against white Christian nationalism, a false Gospel rooted in white supremacy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJMgSCL/

FOX News must fire Brian Kilmeade. Last week, on-air, FOX News host Brian Kilmeade called for the mass extermination of people suffering from homelessness and addiction. “Just kill ‘em,” he said.

Why are Trump and other MAGA politicians so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee. Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump. Read my new op-ed in The Oregonian/OregonLive: www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2025...

Reminder: Sen. Mike Lee’s Twitter posts following the murder of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were so offensive it set off debate at the global headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Lee’s tradition) and he eventually took them down. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Update: I am saddened that gun violence in the United States has taken another life. My prayers are with Charlie Kirk’s family, and with all those working to end gun violence.

Our response to MAGA should be non-violent. The ballot box is our greatest weapon. We have to break the cycle of violence in the US. I am praying for Charlie Kirk, as Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies. My prayer is for his health, & that God use this moment to soften all our hearts.

Why is Donald Trump so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee. Today he said: “When we go there — if we go to Portland, we’re going to wipe them out.” Living in Portland, Trump said, is “like living in hell." (Cont.)

Dear Immigration And Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents: Many of you are good people. Some of strong faith. You are tasked now not with enforcing US law, but with abusing the #humanrights of others. Honor your love of country. Resign your positions. This is a hard ask, but a moral one. #ICERaids

Open Letter to #Portland leaders on #DonaldTrump: I write with deep concern over the possibility that President Donald Trump may well send federal troops to Portland. Portlanders and other Americans must do everything in our power to defend democracy. chuckcurrie.blogs.com/chuck_currie...

Nobody tell him where we keep this. 🖖 #IDIC

Donald Trump’s faith advisor, Paula White, recently said that “to say no to President Trump would be saying no to God.” Has a more idolatrous statement ever been made? Too many worship Donald Trump, replacing Jesus, the Prince of Peace, with Trump… Follow Jesus. Reject Trump.

Whenever I hear Donald Trump or a MAGA acolyte like Marjorie Taylor Greene claim that #God is on their side, I am reminded of what President Abraham Lincoln once said: "Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right." Amen!

In Alaska, Donald Trump failed the cause of freedom and democracy. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

No troops in American streets!

It is time for all good people of faith to repair the sin-sick soul of the nation. That requires fighting racism; bigotry in all forms, rejecting policies that harm God’s creation ― the earth itself ― while loving our neighbors, welcoming the stranger, and working to end poverty.

We have a #Jesus problem in America.

Donald Trump is busy cutting housing assistance, food, and health care for children- all while building a new $200 million ballroom at The White House for himself. Instead of saying "let them eat cake," Trump's message to hungry children and their families seems to be "let them dance."
