My statement at the Texas Board of Education has gone viral 🙌

Part 2: Personal reflection on Day 3 of CPAC. “Leftist commie Marxist” pastor tapping out. Anyone not on the alt-right needs to come together and find common ground against this insanity.

Day 3 of CPAC. “Leftist commie Marxist” pastor tapping out. Anyone not on the alt-right needs to come together and find common ground against this insanity.

Ex British Prime Minister Liz Truss just announced that CPAC is going to Great Britain. 🤢

I’m just a “lefty, commie” pastor at CPAC documenting the insanity for @baptistnews.com Sitting in the panel: Canceling Satan with alt-right darling Jack Posobiec peddling a conspiracy theory about the woman in Spain who chose to die by euthanasia saying she was killed for her organs 😫

I’m at the first full day of CPAC. I’m going to need a whole lot of self-care after this experience into the lion’s den. #fascism #antifascist #antifa #heresy #christiannationalism

I’m covering the CPAC event in Texas for @baptistnews.com. I was just mistaken for a “volunteer.” I guess my attempts at going incognito are successful 😜

My latest for @baptistnews.com Hand it to your uncle Bob or aunt Karen the next time they defend the Administration’s gestapo immigration tactics. baptistnews.com/article/5-th...

I didn’t expect that the first thing I wrote for @baptistnews.com after returning from Minneapolis would be a reflection on the public execution of a U.S. citizen. 😭😭😭 Lord, in your mercy… baptistnews.com/article/the-...

I was in Minneapolis last week. This is one of the articles I wrote for @baptistnews.com

I was on the ground in Minneapolis last week. This is my contribution to #eyesnotlies an effort by clergy to combat the government’s disinformation campaign around the murder of Alex Pretti.

I’m on the ground in Minneapolis for @baptistnews.com and this is spot on. I’ve never seen anything like this.

Here’s the warehouse in Hutchins, TX that the administration is eyeing to warehouse 9,500 humans. @baptistnews.com baptistnews.com/article/upda...

Once again @hcrichardson.bsky.social helps us understand why things are moving so fast with the chaos-in-chief. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

For right-wingers who want to preserve any sort of public career in a post-Trump reality without being constantly haunted by their past disgrace, "Renee Good's murder is a bridge too far for me" is one of the easiest off-ramps in the world. I think we should take note of who declines to use it.

In case you missed the news, the administration is converting seven warehouses across the country to hold 80,000 people as human cargo. One of these warehouses is 30 miles from where I live. My latest for @baptistnews.com #immigration #immigrants #fascism baptistnews.com/article/trum...

I’m still having trouble finding words to adequately express what I’m feeling after watching the videos of a federal agent shooting a woman in the face and then driving away.

Today being the 5th anniversary of the January 6th insurrection, let's look back a 2025 report by @marabim.bsky.social on the concerning amount of Christian nationalist flags hung outside offices at the U.S. Capitol. bit.ly/3FUZ4dZ

that isn't just racial profiling -- this sounds a lot like ethnic cleansing.

Thank you @wordandway.bsky.social and @briankaylor.bsky.social for the opportunity to contribute to this week’s Advent reflections.

My latest with @baptistnews.com “That these masked men — and they are mostly men — are allowed to operate as a nameless, faceless, clandestine police force in America epitomizes the surreal landscape we find ourselves in today.” baptistnews.com/article/what...

#sblaar25 is halfway over and I’m just getting around to posting. There’s so much to see and do! Friday night kicked off with a great workshop on producing public scholarship with @drleahpayne.bsky.social @swajdan.bsky.social and @bradleyonishi.bsky.social

Department of Homeland Security & Department of War keep posting videos with Bible verses to justify their imperial violence. But, sure, let's question if #ChristianNationalism is even a thing.

I spend lots of time in the ICE field office and immigration court. People are being kidnapped every day - people who are showing up for their immigration process “doing it the right way.” This video was captured a few months ago by Vecinos Unidos - one of the groups I work with. Watch to the end.

On Tuesday, I was at Immigration Court in my clergy collar. The plainclothes agent on the left got in my face with his phone and snapped a photo I said, “would you like to know my name?” He responded, “no we’ve got facial recognition. We’ve got your name and address.” 🧵

@marabim.bsky.social is reporting live from Broadview, IL, outside the ICE facility where peaceful protestors have gathered for interfaith worship. Livestreams available here: www.facebook.com/mara.richard...

Thank you @revdrmichaelwoolf.bsky.social for talking with me about what happened in Chicago on All Saint’s Day. Here’s an excerpt of our conversation for @baptistnews.com baptistnews.com/article/a-co...

Whaaaat???!!!

Trump has launched seven deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea. Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it. He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.

“One former senior DHS official who was involved in oversight said that what is happening on American streets today ‘gives me goosebumps.’”

A United Methodist pastor was violently arrested at the #Chicago ICE facility in Broadview today. baptistnews.com/article/unit...

#Chicago is literally a war zone. Here’s one of my articles from this week for @baptistnews.com More coming soon. baptistnews.com/article/in-c...

I’m in Chicago for @baptistnews.com Here are some photos from last night’s protest at the detention center.

I watched the Charlie Kirk memorial to document the gospel of MAGA. We should all be very afraid of the heretical theology they are promoting. baptistnews.com/article/the-...

ICE Deputy Director clearly stating the detainees were the target of today’s shooting.

Every Monday morning I participate in a clergy-led prayer vigil outside of the Dallas ICE Administrative Office. This morning, a sniper stood at the top of an adjacent building and took aim. Press is reporting the victims are detainees being loaded onto a bus for transport to a large facility. 🧵

i saw goody proctor making inflammatory posts about charlie kirk

Creepy.

*siiiiiiigggghhhh*

This article I wrote for @baptistnews.com was originally published in April. It’s even more relevant now. I condemn his murder and grieve for his widow and children. And, the mark of spiritual and emotional maturity is the ability to hold multiple truths at once. baptistnews.com/article/how-...

Thank you @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social for letting me share my story. #baptist #endgunviolence #peace #hope #resist #guns #gardens

"Those verses were not about the United States military," said Brian Kaylor, a Baptist minister and author. "They weren't really even about any imperial military force, and quite the opposite."

The new Justice and Advocacy Fellow at Royal Lane Baptist Church in Dallas, @marabim.bsky.social, spoke about how to bridge what we talk about in church and political action.

I recently attended an art exhibition that tracked the rise of German #fascism in the 1930's through visual art. Here’s my article in @baptistnews.com about how the arts and media in the U.S. is being taken over to force a collective narrative upon the citizens. baptistnews.com/article/the-...

This episode of Straight White American Jesus is eye-opening. Thanks @bradleyonishi.bsky.social I’ve ordered the book by @cajohnson-craig.bsky.social “How to Talk to Your Son About Fascism” #resist #resistance #fascism #democracy www.straightwhiteamericanjesus.com/episodes/how...

Not directly Leonard Leo related but always read @marabim.bsky.social for far right religious shenanigans in Texas. baptistnews.com/article/texa...

Thanks @wordandway.bsky.social and @briankaylor.bsky.social for the shout out!

Two weeks ago I testified against the #Texas 10 Commandments bill. My testimony was at 5:30 am after waiting 22 hours. The Republicans on the committee already had their minds made up. This is the tyranny of minority rule. baptistnews.com/article/the-...
