There are influential people making comments today that are making political and racial tensions worse, and those that are trying to make them better. Support the latter, and scroll past the former.

Proverbs 11:1 The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with him. We desperately need to recall that all are accountable to the same standards, Right or Left. Honesty. Patience. Integrity. Confession of wrong-doing. These virtues must be reclaimed.

In the wake of all *this* it has become all the more clear many Christians in America view themselves in deeply political terms. There are political implications of belief, of course, but political identity as primary is so loud right now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I think a lot of the "brutally honest," "belligerent," & "opinionated" men out there on the Christian right are undiagnosed autistic dudes who mistake their autistic traits for unimpeachable righteousness. [Stated as someone with ASD.]

This may not be a popular take but… The “vibe shift” is less about spirituality and more about a reactionary sentiment against puritanical progressivism. I would love to see MAGA represented by Marco Rubio and Erika Kirk’s speeches at the Charlie Kirk Memorial. I fear they’re

It's delusional to think good, moral people who make decisions that are in the best interest of the common people will always be in charge in this country. Add in the coming power hungry AI-surveillance state and pretty soon almost all of us are going to wake up having lost.

You can either be the person who looks back and says "Oh my gosh how did we get here??" (when it's too late) or the person who looks ahead and says "I know where we need to go" (while there's still a chance).
