I’ll never get over the fact that man looked a woman in the eye, said, “Quiet, piggy,” and every other man on that plane suddenly developed a profound commitment to silence. Y’all weren’t passengers. You weren’t just witnesses. You were all accomplices. And not one of you said a damn thing.

In a touching tribute to Obama, Trump painted the Reflecting Pool Black to help visitors visualize how much broader, longer and deeper Obama's legacy remains than Trump’s or the monument in its reflection. 👏🏾👏🏾

Said another way: I thought I could convince those who claim to follow Christ to behave like Christians.

Scrolling while Black. As a reminder, don’t let people tell you MAGA is locked in an algorithmic prision where they don’t see our news or thoughts. They show up regularly to prove otherwise.

Waco Catholic Priest Found Guilty

Let me show you something

I’m amazed to learn how much of our democracy & Western liberal political ideals was really just a handshake gentleman’s agreement w/ no enforcement mechanisms. All the paper in D.C. museums w/ ornate handwriting - turns out it didn’t mean s***.

It can’t be coincidental: “Christian / Husband / Dad” in the bio is a dog whistle.

Let me show you something white Christianity teaches that we don’t talk about: If you believe that Christians only vote Republican, & if you know most Black people vote Democratic, then you've been discipled to believe...

Your family really told you, “He’s the Ra_ist our country needed” & you still talking to them.

Administrations obsessed with “Christian identity” are rarely obsessed with Christlike behavior.

I don’t have church hurt; I have church memory.

A frightening amount of church leadership is just ego with a microphone.

Christians, not every consequence is persecution. Sometimes people are just tired of your ish.

Maybe if we’d all grown up with the 10 Commandments in our classrooms, we’d appreciate why the televised lynching of a Black man in police custody was funny to Tony Hinchcliffe and Kevin Hart.

Why isn’t MAGA proud of their *anti-racist* ancestors? “mY aNcEsToRs dIdNt oWn sLaVeS” Then what DID they do? Did they help FREE slaves? Did they fight with the North? How come you never meet white folks whose ancestors fought alongside John Brown?

I never again want to hear how MAGA is sequestered in a social media algorithmic bubble because they faithfully show up in Black folks’ comments & DMs to say the most ignorant ish #ScrollingWhileBlack

Feels like a good time to remind everyone that COVID-19 spread to the continental U.S. after privileged Trumpers who were quarantined on a cruise convinced the U.S. to let them to reenter the country. It seems racism pairs well with pestilence.

Motion to have the people who make gas station pump stickers of Trump pointing at the cost saying, “I did that” change the wording to “Racism did that”.

“The Civil Rights Movement is why we need racism.” - SCOTUS

Oh, THAT’S what she was doing

Published in 2024. Pattern recognition in ⚪️ Christian Nationalist settings is just a curse.

Let’s be clear: the leaving MAGA trend is a right wing PR campaign to salvage credibility. The people who prostituted themselves - who literally & figuratively filled their own community watering holes to ensure Black folks couldn’t swim - are trying to remove

Today I learned my Twitter account has been suspended for violating the rules of the app. Girl, I ain’t used that app in a loooong time other than to cross-post. I don’t know that I’ll miss being on the app, but it would be nice to know what I’ve “done” to deserve being banned.

Of course ⚪️ Christianity is more concerned with him posting a picture depicting himself as the AntiChrist than it is with the fact that he is AntiChrist.

Listen to @rcallahanwaco.bsky.social on Madang Podcast as he shares FIRE IN THE WHOLE from @wjkbooks.com. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzjT...

In Acts, Herod is struck dead, eaten by worms, and dies. I mentioned to my wife that the phrasing was always strange to me because it’s reverse order. Tell me why she pointed out, for the 1st time in my forty-mumble years as a Christian, it could mean he literally died from parasitic worms.

These folks think the book of Revelation was a to-do list.

So 8M+ of yal’ll said you were looking for something productive to do a couple of weekends ago…

Everytime I hear that man speak I think about how my colllege Speech professor gave me an A-. 🫩

It’s wild how the “we’re not electing a religious leader” people didn’t talk to the “he’s the messiah” people. The conversation only required a mirror.

If your arms are too weighed down to raise your hands in worship after what those claiming to be God’s people did, I see you. Blessed are those waking on Sunday with tear-stained pillows having seen how “believers” marred the image of Christ a few short days ago.

Some of y’all sold or bought merch at your anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist event & still don’t understand why 🟤 folks say you’re not serious.

I made this character to fight in Super Smash Bros. This will be so cathartic. 😆

Shout out to all the Gen-Xer parents who can take their belts off without their kids associating it with discipline (abuse).

Actually, these are the days of Eli-SHA

If you read Genesis literally, God made the whole world, called it good and then looked at man and said actually, I can do better than this. Then made woman. I’m just the messenger.

One of the hardest moments in liberation work is realizing that you may be doing work that you never see the fruit of. That all of this is to get others to a promised land you’ll never step foot in.

Looking for recommendations of an honest but astute way to respond when asked, “How are you?” 1st idea: Them: “How are you?” Me: “You remember the first 15 minutes of Saving Private Ryan”? Ideas?

“We” as in the cast of “we are Charlie Kirk”?

One way that Christians use God’s name in vain is weaponizing prayer as a pacifier/ icebreaker before difficult meetings.

They never honor the voice that saw the costs before the explosion. They just rewrite the story so foresight sounds like faithlessness.

The cost of prophetic witness is this: When they lack vision, you’re “extreme”, “divisive”, or “angry”. When they finally see what you saw, you’re invisible. First you’re too radical. Then you’re conveniently forgotten. It was never that you were extreme. You were just early.

@dossdiscourse.bsky.social points out 53% of WW voted for Trump because WW will swallow misogyny if racism stays intact. A 🟤 man, Flavor Flav, stepped up to honor the women’s hockey team when their own wouldn’t. Reciprocity shouldn’t be revolutionary.

Them: “yOu wErEn’T hUrT bY tHe cHuRcH; yOu wErE hUrT bY INDIVIDUALS”. Me: *calls out specific toxic pastors* Them: “wHy aRe yOu aTtaCkiNg the cHuRcH?”

Two grey-haired lawyers walk into a courtroom. Both wearing suits. One is ⚪️ the other is 🟤. The bailiff walks up to the ⚪️ one & says have a seat over there. The bailiff walks up to the 🟤 one & asks, “Are you a defendant?” Funny, huh?

We had to bring this one back. 🔥 Nat, Bethany, and Jon are revisiting their powerful conversation with @rcallahanwaco.bsky.social about his incredible book Fire In The Whole (published by Westminster John Knox Press)—and it’s just as meaningful the second time around.

Here’s a little sneak peek of our upcoming rebroadcast 👀 Nat, Bethany, and Jon sat down with @rcallahanwaco.bsky.social for a conversation that was just too good not to share again. If you missed it the first time (or want to revisit it), now’s your chance. This amazing episode drops on Monday.

Reminder: For the same reason that members of the Kx3 don’t become good people when they take their hood off, people who posts rcsist memes don’t stop being rcsist when they take them down.
