So #ChrisHeuertz's org, Gravity, has released a statement claiming they had a 3rd party investigation done. I've heard the investigator actually had NO confidentiality disclaimer, didn't have ppl's names correct, was all around untrustworthy. I've been involved w other orgs tht
had leadership called out abt abuse who also hired "3rd party investigators," who only ended up redacting info to make sure it showed no fault of the leadership. It's so shady whn the orgs owned or led by the accused leader run the investigation. We saw this w Willow Creek whn
the initial investigation led by the church found Hybels committed no abuse. It wasn't until those who believed the women hired someone outside of Hybels supporters when they began to uncover truths. Gravity's board has clearly shown their favoritism. But I believe the women. We
need to be critical in understanding how toxic culture and leadership work and those who continue to support both because it benefits them. If anything the #MeToo#ChurchToo movement has shown us is this truth, and we're no longer tolerating it. #Enneagram#Milleneagram#TimesUp
When orgs hire investigators who show such obvious bias but feign wanting to seek the truth, my husband calls this transparency theater. It looks authentic, but in actuality it's all for show.

In case you didn’t know - fetishization IS racism. It IS white supremacy. It IS hate. It IS violence against Asian women 1/
Don’t get confused. It took me a long time to dig in and understand this. Some, incl police/media, will try to say it’s not a race crime bc the terrorist’s confession of being a sex addict. IT ABSOLUTELY WAS. He fetishized Asian women. He didn’t target random massage parlors 2/
We see this in white supremacy - the belief that Asian women are subservient and obedient to do their bidding. To be controlled.
It’s a perpetual othering in its twisted fantasizing and exotification 3/
I've been reflecting in prayer all day in regards to the response from so many Christians who're shaming ppl for not "praying" for Trump, and demanding that we "ought" to be better.
And I finally realized why this has been bothering, upsetting, frustrating me all day.

This is what Christians do – they elevate, defend, stand by, and support the abuser, never the abused.
Trump is an abuser.
He is toxic. He is the embodiment of harmful narcissism. He is racist. He is misogynistic. He is patronizing. He isn't just an ableist but readily mocks
2/11
the disabled. He scorns those who suffer.
While I believe one of the powers of forgiveness is releasing the abused to be free from the strongholds of those who abused them, today, this morning, right now, is not the time for forgiveness. If you can bc all of a sudden Trump

I like that there are ppl (cough loyal Trump supporting Christians cough) who‘re trying to claim moral high ground for Trump’s “coronavirus,” claiming ppl shld be sympathetic, heartbroken and if you’re laughing, you’re showing your true “in-Christian-like” colors. FUCK YOU.
Where was your sympathy for those who’ve been sick, lost loved ones, or died?? While you’ve been screaming HOAX & fake news, refusing to wear masks, celebrating other Christians for gathering & not wearing masks. You loyal goats who have zero care for those who’ve been suffering
But now your beloved corrupt lying cheating scheming hate-filled toxic leader possibly has it so all of a sudden it’s care and concern?
Shove your hypocrisy and your selective concern.
I didn’t knw abt the case of Susan Struck. Now that I have, I’ve even more respect for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
To the anti-abortion (refuse to call them pro-lifers bc they aren’t) ppl who’re shit-talking RBG, celebrating her death, calling her a baby-killer, SUCK IT.
A thread 1/7
In the 60s/70s bf Roe v. Wade, abortion was not only legal on US military bases, it was actively ENCOURAGED, basically mandated.
Capt Susan Struck was a combat nurse in Vietnam. When she got pregnant in 1970, the Air Force gave her a choice: Get an abortion or be discharged.
2/7
Struck wanted to keep her baby. So she “chose” to be kicked out of the service.
She decided to sue the US govt for putting women in a horrible position to choose btw getting an abortion they didn’t want or not being able to serve their country. theguardian.com/world/2019/dec…

If the news of Breonna Taylor’s murderers going scott free makes you respond with a justification, claiming they were shooting in self-defense because her boyfriend had the audacity to protect themselves after they trespassed with their bullshit no-knock warrant, THEN FUCK. YOU.
If you, on a post lamenting of the injustice against Breonna Taylor, bring up the 2 officers shot last night, whose murderers hve alrdy been arrested & will face jail time, as a justification or “what aboutism” for Breonna‘s murderers to be free or justified, THEN FUCK. YOU.
I am utterly done with the likes of any person who continues to justify the brutalization of black people, and other people of color, in this country.
You are no friend to humanity. You are pathetic, cruel, inhumane, calloused, and a sheep to white supremacy.
Y'all, I am so tired of single-issue voters.
If you're anti-abortion thn actually advocate for issues, laws, policies tht wld lower pregnancies.
Support funding for
–single moms
–pregnancy prevention education
–birth control & emergency pills
1/4
Believe women and support greater punishment for rape and incest charges
–Understand, support systems tht lower the #s of abortion procedures done.
If you don't advocate any of these measures & only demand abortions be illegal, thn you don't actually give a shit abt abortion
2/4
You only actually care abt controlling women's bodies and touting a propaganda using you as sheep.
In all honesty, I've yet to meet a conservative/GOP who actually understands these issues & advocates for policies tht wld lower pregnancies.
