I was deeply grateful to be interviewed by Marc Ramirez (@typewriterninja.bsky.social) for @usatoday.com on the sky-high stakes of this political moment and what faith leaders are saying and doing about it. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

This Ash Wednesday, we gathered to tell the truth, reject cruelty done in God’s name, and renew our commitment to justice and neighbor-love. ✨ We’re continuing this witness with a virtual prayer service later today. 🔗 buff.ly/jzUOTst

On Ash Wed. I joined over 400 national faith leaders in co-launching “A Call to Christians in a Crisis of Faith and Democracy”. Plead join us by signing on and joining this Lenten journey of showing greater courage in the face of rising cruelty and abuse of power. acalltochristians.org

It was a privilege to be a part of this important conversation—I hope you’ll check it out!

"Grief born from the acknowledgement of our neighbor’s humanity is important, but love does not end there." sojo.net/articles/opi...

Please join us for what will be a rich conversation!

Judge Fred Biery sounds like a biblical prophet in this must read order to release 5 year old Liam Conejo Ramos. Thankful for his wit and searing legal admonishment. I hope many more judges join him in putting a “judicial finger in the Constitutional dike”. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

“Everyone sees murder, and public officials call it fighting domestic terrorism. Who are they convincing?” sojo.net/articles/opi...

Not everyone can do everything—but all of us can do something. ⭐️ When we show up in different ways, big and small, together we create real change. Choose one. Choose a few. Do what you can. And remember: collective action is powerful.

My summary of my latest article for @sojo.net. You can read the full piece here: sojo.net/articles/opi...

My latest for @sojo.net on the killings in Minneapolis and the road ahead. sojo.net/articles/opi...

"We must be crystal clear that the terror and tragedy we are seeing play out in Minneapolis is not just immoral; it is increasingly evil," writes @revadamtaylor.bsky.social for @sojo.net sojo.net/articles/opi...

Join us tonight!

My thoughts on the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minnesota. Those being harmed and killed by ICE are all precious children of God and made on God’s image. This violence against our immigrant neighbors and against the people standing up for justice and compassion breaks God’s heart.

More from the ICE Out of Minnesota march and rally.

At today’s ICE Out of Minnesota march and rally, where the temperature of -20 degrees Fahrenheit has not dampened the turnout one bit.

Grateful to join other faith leaders for an interfaith service at Temple Israel in Minneapolis. History has its eyes on Minneapolis. People of faith and conscience are showing up with courage and love to get ICE out of Minnesota.

Here in Minnesota to stand alongside local faith leaders as they demand that ICE cease its cruel and unlawful actions and leave the community.

Tune in tonight! Maria is amazing and I'm sure this interview will be terrific.

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch. The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over. This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.

I’m grateful to @fianational.bsky.social for bringing together faith leaders in DC today to denounce ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis.

Join us tomorrow if you’re in the DC area.

Some thoughts on this #mlkday from #reneenicolegood’s memorial site.

Honored to join Bishop Royster and Faith in Action for a weekly Wed. Witness outside the White House. As I shared today, while the president shamelessly promises “reckoning and retribution” in Minneapolis, we must respond with a revival of courage, love, and solidarity.

Light for the Way is out today! Five decades of spiritual wisdom from generations of @sojo.net writers--you can get your copy at sojo.net/light. I'm so grateful for everyone on our staff that worked to bring this book into being and to @broadleafbooks.bsky.social for believing in this project.

"Most significantly for us as Christians, the administration’s actions in Venezuela signal a further U.S. retreat from a commitment to protect human dignity, freedom, human rights, and peace." @revadamtaylor.bsky.social

"...if we fail to check this kind of intervention in Venezuela, the administration may use it as precedent for future military actions in other countries." My latest for @sojo.net: sojo.net/articles/new...

Renee Good should still be alive today. My heart breaks and prayers are lifted for her senseless killing by ICE. Let’s honor her life by demanding justice and an end to the Trump administration’s aggressive, cruel, and often unlawful mass deportation policy and tactics. www.aol.com/articles/ren...

No amount of whitewashing by the White House can erase the horror of the Jan. 6 insurrection. We know the truth of that day and the truth will help set us free. Today should be a somber day of remembrance and prayers for the victims and their families. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/u...

I hope you'll consider joining us and our partners for this virtual training. In this era, it's more important than ever to equip ourselves with these skills.

As we say goodbye (maybe even good riddance) to 2025, I’m reminded just how much prayer has served as an essential balm and strong tower in the midst of such a trying and tumultuous year. I’m deeply grateful that we have a staff team that believes in the power of prayer: lnkd.in/eKJh_H3b

The Trump administration’s assault on Venezuela and capture of President Maduro violates international law, recklessly circumvents the war powers of Congress, and dangerously portends a new era of US imperialism. Blessed are the peacemakers, not the warmongers. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/o...

Right now, the Trump administration is counting on people of faith to stay quiet while they attack immigrants, slash programs serving those in poverty, and silence dissent. They expect us to abandon the gospel’s call to justice. But we refuse to surrender Jesus' call to love our neighbors.

I’m deeply grateful for Sojourners’ editor-in-chief, Betsy Shirley, who with her staff continues to uncover stories of “creative defiance, courageous solidarity, and radical testimony to a way of living that transcends this ol’ mess.” Check out Betsy’s recent article at sojo.net/articles/new...

During this season of Advent, I invite you to check out my most recent article, “Don’t Ignore the Darkness of Advent,” at sojo.net/articles/opi... I love the beauty Christmas. But Advent comes first in darkness, awaiting the arrival of a light that is coming but not yet here.

Wishing all a meaningful advent season.

I was honored to speak on a panel today at the Senate Russell building at a press conference organized by the National Immigration Law Center & Immigrant Justice Fund in support of the reactivation of the Dream Act. 
 Congress must act now in passing the bipartisan DREAM Act!

Before we get to the full light of the baby Jesus birth on Christmas, we must contend with the darkness around us. My reflections on leaning into Advent in a season of rising cruelty and assaults on our freedoms and the most vulnerable www.sojo.net/articles/opi...

I invite you to join my colleague at Sojourners, Rose Berger, who will be part of a virtual panel on Thursday, December 4th at 7pm Eastern on: "Warning Signs — Faith, Freedom and the Rise of Authoritarianism." You can register for this important panel session at: act.sojo.net/page/email/c...

The Trump administration is blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela. So far, 80+ people have been murdered by strikes, treating people as play pieces rather than as people made in God's image. Check out,” The Cost of Staying Quiet When Murder Becomes Foreign Policy, at sojo.net/articles/opi....

Blowing up boats off the coast of Venezuela with alleged drug smugglers is deeply immoral and illegal. My thoughts on why we must denounce these murders and restrain the grave misuse and abuse of presidential power www.sojo.net/articles/opi...

I’m proud of Ethan Meyers, one of the members of Sojourners’ newest class of Fellows, who last week published an important article turning a spotlight on Terence Lester and his innovative protest against steep cuts to SNAP. Check out Ethan’s article at: sojo.net/articles/int....

Check out my recent article, "Who Deserves SNAP? Jesus Has a Parable for That” at: sojo.net/articles/opi.... The parable of the Good Samaritan prompts us to move beyond the conversation on whether recipients of benefits like SNAP are deserving and to extend abundant concern and compassion.

My reflections on how we can help end this manufactured and reversible crisis around SNAP/food assistance and the immorality around rising hunger.

Watching President Trump cruelly defy a court order requiring the resumption of SNAP benefits reminds me of the parable of the Good Samaritan, where Jesus expands our understanding of our neighbor and shows us what abundant compassion requires. www.sojo.net/articles/opi...

I'm deeply proud of these four longstanding staff members at Sojourners, Julie, Cindy, Betsy, and Moya, and for their tireless commitment, along with the rest of the Sojo team, to the work and mission of Sojourner s - demonstrating faith in action for social justice!

The Trump administration must use the contingency fund to prevent over 40 million Americans from losing their SNAP food assistance benefits on Sat. As we approach Thanksgiving, Congress has the opp. And moral responsibility to prevent families from going hungry! www.yahoo.com/news/article...
