Hans and Sophie Scholl died this day in 1943. They were students armed with Christian conviction and leaflets denouncing Hitler. “You (Lord) are my strong shield and I trust you completely” Psalm 28:7 #FreeSpeech

When an attorney general responds to questions about Epstein victims by touting the Dow, something is very wrong. @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss Bondi’s congressional testimony on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider. Listen: cafe.visitlink.me/lKZr85

“I am somebody”! Thank you Jesse Jackson. You got my first vote as an 18 year old. Rest in power! #rainbowcoalition

Imagine if even a fraction of what this administration plans to spend on cages went toward housing people.

An important message! “…we have a long way to go to fulfill God’s mandate to love our neighbors.” Bishop Holston #BeUMC #loveoneanother

What do these corporations have in common? -Amazon -AT&T -Home Depot -Microsoft -Palantir They all reaped billions in tax breaks from Trump's Big Ugly Bill — and are actively collaborating with ICE's deportation machine. Always follow the money.

Thank you Bruce!

Say their names!

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

History continues to rhyme! “Get back to your labors (make more bricks for Pharaoh!)” Exodus 5:4b #justice #BeUMC

@timlockette.bsky.social summarizes the reality of Trump’s insane thinking and our need to respond. Call, write, protest, this is not making anyone great.

Thank you @johnarchibald.bsky.social for this important read.

I’ll take “Things I never thought I would say for $200”. I stand with the NATO allies verses the USA. Lord in your mercy, hear our prayers. The chaos continues.

Up to $125 million to rename the Department of Defense. But they can't find the money to lower premiums for Americans crushed by health care costs. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

James Baldwin: “Not everything that is faced can be changed, however, nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Thank you @briangoldstone.bsky.social for coming to Auburn UMC. Join this important conversation Sunday at 4pm. #BeUMC

Thank you @jonstewartshow.bsky.social for your leadership and service to us all. You are a gift!

Rest in peace.

There seems to be much truth here. Take time for yourself and family. Pray, heal, and stay connected in community. #BeUMC

Where’s Congress?

Who knew that prayers for peace would be so needed in 2026? 3 mass shootings in 3 days and now Trump’s invasion of Venezuela? Lord in your mercy… #BeUMC #peacewalk

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few. Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

The Christmas story is an interfaith story. We are invited to love our neighbors right from the beginning of the birth. #BeUMC #LoveWns

So grateful for the Venerable Monks and their “Walk for Peace.” It was a joy to see them on X-MAS at Foundry UMC in Opelika, AL tonight. Thank you @revphc.bsky.social for your hospitality! #BeUMC

Giving thanks today that God didn’t arrive with noise or power, but as a humble child. Mary didn’t try and explain it she pondered it. Maybe the holy still shows up quietly, interrupting ordinary lives if we’re willing to notice. #BeUMC

Public words after a death matter. "Blessed are the merciful" isn’t just a spiritual truth from Jesus, it’s about being a decent human. Even in disagreement, we are called to choose dignity. May we hold the Reiner family in our prayers.

Happy Thanksgiving Bluesky Friends!

It’s official. @dougjones.bsky.social will run against Tommy Tuberville for Alabama governor. www.al.com/life/2025/11...

A Christ the King Sunday prayer: "Gracious God, in Jesus we find an alternative to the monarchs and leaders of history. Help us revere and emulate the Jesus way of living. Guide us with your spirit to live with compassion, to love, serve, and seek justice for all people. In Christ we pray. AMEN"

Never Forget, Never Again לעולם אל תשכח לעולם לא

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Volunteers at Oak Lawn United Methodist Church in Dallas have painted the steps in rainbow colors as a sign of welcome to all.

Buy nothing. Start preparing now, it’s gonna be a long one.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

As the celebrate recent wins, we know that midterm elections are gearing up for next November. May we never forget the privilege of voting. Every person matters. #EJI #humanrights

World War 2 veterans, the original antifa, took part in the nationwide protests against the fascist Trump regime. #3E #NoKings #50501Movement #indivisible #wearetheflood

Love this 50th anniversary of School House Rock! No More Kings!

Pope Leo at Jubilee Mass: “Let us take care to avoid any exploitation of the faith that could lead to labelling those who are different — often the poor — as enemies, ‘lepers’ to be avoided and rejected.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Do you know this story? Ten were healed. One turned back and one gave thanks. In a world of division, deportation, where some are called unclean. Gratitude whispers wholeness and wellness. Gratitude is resistance. (Luke 17:11–19) What are you grateful for today? #BeUMC

A message of challenge and hope. Enjoy.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

Jane Goodall leaves us a legacy of reverence for all living creatures. Near the Feast of Saint Francis, her life reminds us: "Ask the animals, and they will teach you." (Job 12:7) #JaneGoodall

Christian nationalist Pete Hegseth invoked Jesus today while preaching the opposite. Read Jesus’s actual words in Matthew 5-7: love enemies, blessed are peacemakers, blessed are the meek. Then compare to Hegseth’s “crush enemies” and “overwhelming violence.” The contrast exposes the distortion.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead Praying for you Greta and the Flotilla!

David Brooks reminds us, "résumé virtues fade, but eulogy virtues last"...kindness, honesty, courage, faithfulness. In a world of noise and power, what matters most is the development of our soul and the contribution of the love we leave behind. How is it with your soul? #BeUMC

Thank you Hollywood UMC! We stand with Jimmy, The Social Priniciples, and the values of human rights #BeUMC

Thank you Claire for your beautiful tribute to Helen Ryde. As @Bishopken shared, Helen changed the church and our world. May we all “Stay in the water”. #BeUMC
