Five trends that defined the year in Bible movies

“I was talking with one ICE agent about Matthew 25, ‘Whatever you did for the least of these, you did unto me,’ ... He told me he was going to go home and read Matthew 25 tonight. I encouraged him to take a look at Matthew 5 also for the Sermon on the Mount.” sojo.net/articles/new...

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

You can't appease the Mad King, not even by dying.

No more, no more.

My therapist asked why I watch Law and Order: SVU and suggested I stop. I said to her jokingly, 'When Stabler and Benson get together 🤣🤣.'

Ex-NATO General Michel Yakovleff: “If Trump moves on Greenland, Europeans must be ready to fight the US to defend sovereignty.” "We must be ready to fight the US if they threaten European interests."

If exorcism is trending in TEC bluesky then I need to plug @drfrancisyoung.bsky.social books on the history of exorcism in Christianity generally (for medieval history in particular), and the one on exorcism in Anglicanism. For parish practical I also like “Deliverance” by Michael Perry. ⚓️

Europe’s failure to condemn Trump’s illegal aggression in Venezuela isn’t just wrong – it’s stupid | Nathalie Tocci

UPDATED LIST of countries the Trump administration has threatened to invade, annex, or otherwise attack in the 85 hours of 2026 so far: 🇻🇪 Venezuela 🇨🇺 Cuba 🇬🇱 Greenland 🇮🇷 Iran 🇨🇦 Canada 🇨🇴 Colombia 🇲🇽 Mexico Insane.

Donald Trump appears to intend nothing less than an American Empire—a dictatorship at home; betrayal of Europe to Russia and Taiwan to China; and the annexation or puppeteering of Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Cuba, Greenland, Argentina, Brazil, Honduras and other nations.

I am no supporter of Maduro, but what the Orange Agent did was of the devil. Two things can be true: Maduro is not a good person, but the Psycho in Chief is demonic, and what he did was demonic!

So if our southern neighbors are fleeing to the US because of the after effects us Tschen's, assassinations and coups, what do you think is going to happen in the next quarter century? But fourth thought is not possible when "thought" is insecure narcissistic swaggering.

Man...

Maybe some country can return the favor to the U.S.A.

British PM Starmer: "I want to establish the facts first. I want to speak to President Trump. I want to speak to allies. I can be absolutely clear that we were not involved ... and I always say and believe we should all uphold international law," he said in a statement to British broadcasters.

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

And what are France, the UK and the Netherlands going to do about this Satantic shit that happneed? They better do something because they still have colonies I meant overseas territories in the Caribbean Region, Marcon, Starmer and Schoof better talk to the Orange Agent

Maduro is a psycho too, but bombing a Caribbean mainland territory/Latin American country is disgusting and of the devil! No matter how cray-cray Maduro is, bombing a sovereign nation and illegally kidnapping its leader and his wife is some Satanic shit! It is not about liberation but about oil!

Al Jazeera is reporting that Maduro received a Chinese representative at the presidential palace just hours before he was (redundant but ILLEGALLY) kidnapped by American forces www.instagram.com/reel/DTDHz1X...

What the actual hell? And don’t let Trump Admin tell us we can’t both loathe Maduro & be enraged at their blatant disregard for yet-to-be-known consequences for 1. Venezuelan people 2. Latin American sovereignty 3. U.S. civilians & troops 4. International order www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Whatever you might think of Maduro, the seizure and kidnapping of a head of state takes us to a very dark place. Vast, arbitrary, extra-legal power, which could be exercised almost anywhere, regardless of the character of the target government.

If you tell me that this is a distraction from the Epstein files I will block you into last week. For fuck's sake, people in other countries are actual human beings who do not deserve to be murdered. They are deserving of our attention and care. Their violent deaths should not be on our hands.

The psycho bombed Venezuela and kidnapped its president and first lady. Imperialists are going to do what imperialists do. FYI, Trinidad and Tobago is like minutes away from Venezuela. St Vincent, the ABC islands, St Lucia, Dominica, and Martinique are like two hours away.hopefully the bombing stops

Understanding why we thought (whatever) once upon a time, why we did (whatever), why we believed (whoever), why we stayed w/ (whomever), is all part of trauma recovery-- that we have to approach w/ compassion & grace, not judgment. We can't undo the past w/ self-punishment now.
