But, I don’t understand #brinksmanship with the US debt—especially when your own party is the ran up the tab. US Debt is used as a pawn in a political game. But it’s not a game. Failure to pay or extend limit could tank our fragile economy. #GOPDomesticTerrorists #DebtLimit

In marrow of vast majority of White Evangelical institutions is belief that #they are #theelect, #chosenones—their kind of Christianity is the #onlykind. They believe US is God ordained and their riches are a gift to be used to extend their power. 1/ #beyondchristiannationalism
#CriticalRaceTheory is a direct threat to the imagined ordination of White evangelical authority and power, because it shines LIGHT 🌞 on the dirty deeds they did to amass that power and wealth. 2/#beyondchristiannationalism
#CriticalRaceTheory rejects the smoke screen of over spiritualization and points to the LAWS their white grandpappies crafted and white meemaws voted for to ensure and secure the economic/social/political supremacy of whiteness. 3/#beyondchristiannationalism

Dr. Keller, @timkellernyc, I request this in love. Please list ALL of the times you have spoken out, written or taken action against voting for White Christian Nationalism over the past 40 years.
You seem to have had a major epiphany in 2020. Good.

Your commentary over the past 365 days has been helpful. Thank you for it.
But, sir @timkellernyc, you lack one thing. To be well w/ your Black/Brown neighbors whose cries for help against political oppression you largely ignored over the previous 39 yrs, you must CONFESS your sin of omission. You omitted their oppression from you circle of concern.

#TheBachelorFinale was riveting. @EmmanuelAcho killed it. He guided #BatchelorNation through a straightforward, honest, whiteness-decentered, brave conversation on Black maleness in US. #MattJames @mattjames919 was clear. He and his future children need a woman who gets it. 1/
It makes sense that the first time #TheBachelor is a Black man the season ends with a painful conversation about race. The political construct of #race in the US was built in 1662 to answer the question of interracial children and marriage in VA and MD, respectively. 2/
In VA House of Burgess wanted to solve the riddle: What is status of mixed race children (products of white masters raping enslaved women).

MD Legislature wanted to stop flood of white immigrant women from falling in love and marrying enslaved African men...

Devastating, revealing and hope-producing. #RaviZacharias was letch and liar. This leading evangelist was a leading deceiver/exploiter/abuser of women among evangelical men. But his org embraced the truth—about him. #silenceisnotspiritual 1/ nytimes.com/2021/02/11/us/…
Evangelical women, this is how the betrayal happens. Women told to be pure, while leading evangelical men are filthy. They reek a foul stench that betrays their forays into hell (sexual abuse, exploitation and rape). #ravizacharias #anatomyofthebetrayal #silenceisnotspiritual 2/
Our faith is not about purity. It is about LOVE and mending the fallen brokenness BETWEEN all things (not OF all things). We are made in ima

Thank you, @RepRaskin, for Impeachment Managers’ POWERFUL #openingarguments for #impeachment #2. Weeping.

“People died on that day.”
“Eyes were gouged out.”
“One officer lost 3 fingers on that day.”
“One officer was speared by a flag he was defending.”

GOP Senators, It is not too late to save your souls. Respect the dead—who died protecting you. Do not hide your eyes. Do not suppress the truth. Do not mask the truth. Do REMEMBER. Do help our nation heal. Do say “Yes” to ACCOUNTABILITY.

nbcnews.com/video/house-im… via @NBCNews
GOP defense is weak. Meh...

Claiming trial is about retribution. It is not. It is about #Accountability.

Defense says Senators are committed to Constitution. “Yes!” Those who demand accountability to the Constitution are actually committed to it.
