1/ Tulsa, OK mega church Victory Church took $2.1 million in CARES Act funding (despite, of course, not paying taxes themselves.)

In November, they held an indoor concert with more than 15k in attendance, in direct defiance of CDC guidelines to protect the vulnerable.
2/ Now temperatures are below freezing across the state, and guess who is refusing to open their doors to unhoused people freezing to death on the streets?
3/ If evangelicals are wondering why people are turning away from the church, I’d suggest that it has something to do with so many Christians treating Jesus as a tax shelter and not a commandment to love and take care of your neighbor.

Gen Z out here bullying millennials about our side parts and skinny jeans like we weren’t the ones who INVENTED cyber bullying in the first place.

You can’t hurt us, Brashlynn. WE’RE ALREADY DEAD INSIDE.
Until you’ve survived the Wild West of Neopets forums and passive aggressive Xanga poetry, YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW what cyber bullying is, Kierson.
Gen Z will record a 30 second Tik Tok to bully someone.

Meanwhile, Millennials/Gen X made whole ass geocities websites dedicated to destroying one another.

“Fuck them kids.” -@govkristinoem
I’m not sure that using an official govt account to make jokes about starving kids is the BEST tactic for pursuing presidential ambitions, @govkristinoem.

Food for thought (pun intended).
Also if you read the article @govkristinoem was quote tweeting, the kids LITERALLY did volunteer work for the food.

The only possible conclusion one can reach from her tweet, then, is that she’s literally pro-starving children. 🤷‍♀️

The difference between a true organizer & someone elevating their own profile is this:

An ORGANIZER will empower you. Appeals to emotion are always followed by a call to action.

A GRIFTER will disempower you. Language rarely includes next steps YOU can take to make real change.
2/ If the closest to next steps/a call to action they ever give you is “sign this digital petition that we have no plan to physically deliver anywhere” or retweeting their angry tweets, they aren’t organizing.

Don’t be afraid to ask them “how does this move us toward the goal?”
3/ That’s called a theory of change. Obvs no one can predict the future, but an organizer should be able to tell you, “we think doing X will help do Y, which will help get us to our goal.”

If they get angry at you for asking or say that asking means you don’t care, that’s a 🚩

One of the first events of the Biden/Harris #Inauguration2021 features a female comic with a pronounced stutter talking about the experience dealing with well-intentioned ableism from non-disabled people.

This representation matters, because it says disabled ppl matter.
For most of our lives, disabled ppl are (at best) an after thought. At worst, we're left out entirely.

@JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris unapologetically including people ppl w/ disabilities in such a high-profile event shows that disability isn't shameful.
Inaugurations are expected to be glamorous, perfect events. Many ppl—including Dems & leftists!—wouldn't include disabled ppl for that reason, unless it was for the sole purpose of being the token disabled person talking about disability ONLY.

Biden breaking that trend is huge.

1. @RutiRegan mixed you up with someone else, a mistake she IMMEDIATELY & publicly apologized for TWO DAYS before you tweeted this.

2. A miniscule # of ppl saw her tweet, esp compared to you now blasting her for to your more than half a million followers, despite her apology.
But hey, @sarahkendzior, you’ve successfully managed to bully one of the most tireless advocates the disability community has (not to mention a Jewish rabbi) into going private, all for an honest mistake she corrected & apologized for. Thank you SO MUCH for that.
In the screenshots that @sarahkendzior herself took, it shows that @RutiRegan apologized within **30 minutes** of having the error pointed out.

Despite that, Sarah is telling her followers that Ruti kept harassing her, which is a straight up lie, as shown in HER SCREENSHOTS.
