I understand the desire to end the shutdown to end the suffering it is causing, but if we don’t stand up more strongly against fascism, the suffering to come will be almost unimaginable compared to the suffering of a shutdown and the very real suffering we have already seen.

No democracy loving country should be appeasing Trump in any way. The more you appease him, the less safe your own democracy will become over time. What we are witnessing is not simply an American phenomenon, but rather a global movement of fascism and autocracy.

NPR reports that the United States will only accept 7500 refugees next year, and they will almost exclusively be white South Africans. www.npr.org/2025/10/30/g...

One would think that the Nobel “Peace” Laureate would speak out against the extrajudicial executions of her people by Trump.

My discourse on “Finding Courage in Chaos.” youtu.be/w_XpQF7e5Jw?...

Though we long for beloved community, we are experiencing chaos, and now we must ask ourselves, “How can we find courage within community in the midst of this chaos?” oneworldhouse.net/2025/10/26/f...

When Trump said that “Reagan actually loved tariffs for our country,” Trump was either lying or was ignorant about Reagan’s positon. Listen to Reagan’s unedited speech if you don’t believe me. I am growing weary of this post-truth world in which we live. youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc?...

This Land! No Kings OKC! Beautiful gathering of folks for participatory democracy and no kings!

When I hear people saying that the No Kings protests are Hate America protests, I think of these words from James Baldwin.

Could someone please post Trump’s explicit condemnation of the Young Republicans Nazi group chat? I am having trouble finding it.

Given the kinds of the things people like Stephen Miller say in public, we should not be surprised that some young Republicans are saying these horrific and evil things in private. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Being an old white hippy is infinitely better than being a white fascist of any age.

So much of how we define success and well-being in our society revolves around the money we make and the things we accumulate, and it is clear this acquisition and consumption culture is leading to a dead end for humanity. oneworldhouse.net/2025/08/18/h...

Very few things say one is not worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize more than actively lobbying to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Divestment from fossil fuels will made possible by following our United Methodist mission, not our United Methodist money managers. oneworldhouse.net/2025/08/16/f...

My gut tells me we are going to have to tap into something more resilient than rage to sustain our resistance.

It seems more difficult for a wealthy denominational investment agency to divest from fossil fuels than it is for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle. oneworldhouse.net/2025/08/15/t...

Divesting from fossil fuels is not naive as some supporters of continued investment and engagement maintain, rather it is an expression of moral clarity that profiting from the companies that are knowingly destroying a livable climate for life on Earth is evil. oneworldhouse.net/2025/08/12/m...
