Martin Luther, a #Lutheran, says a Christian must serve the undeserving, evil-doers, enemies, and ungrateful, like God does (Mt 6:32-4). Today, simply ungratefulness is reason to cut one off. How can you let your liberality serve underserving and evil-doers? #christian

Land isn't just about wealth and justice, it's about power. Scotland is cut off from its own land resources and hence is poorer as a nation.

Apologies for being late to this news, but it seems we have found ourselves a Muslim gentleman that no one can find a reason to hate on. Doesn’t that feel grand! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"As the table shows, the answer is, mostly to the richest. The people in the top decile receive 40% of all the pension relief, a third of the relief on the sale of domestic properties, and half of the ISA relief."

1 in 3 doctors were born overseas. 1 in 2 builders were born overseas. 1 in 6 nurses were born overseas. 1 in 4 transport workers were born overseas. 1 in 7 UK business founders were born overseas. 1 in 5 university academics were born overseas. The UK would be screwed without them.

For a while now, I have been impressed by James Talarico, his clarity, his faith his commitment to service and was wondering if he is going to be one of the next prominent American leaders www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

For a disturbing comparison, here's what cramming 34 men into a cage would have looked like on one of those barbaric slave ships that racist MAGAs still dream about. Is this what they're trying to recreate in their Alligator Auschwitz? #MAGAmerica

This is from an actual Republican Congressman, from the party that is also locking kids in cages in a concentration camp in Florida, hoping they try to escape and get eaten by alligators. This is today's Republican Party.

We built 20th-century democracies on the assumption that truth could be verified, public discourse could be deliberated, and those in power could be held accountable. But the system those assumptions relied on, gatekeepers, shared facts, institutional trust, are in decline, and deservedly so.

🚨🚨For those who believe (and it seems the correct inference imho) that #kremlin was working behind the scenes to orchestrate #brexit (a nation-dividing political event), this story is further evidence substantiating this narrative. 🧵 www.bbc.com/news/article...
