Life really just is figuring out how to cook beef, chicken, and pork a different way each night, isn't it?..

Sixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you...

It's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the needy to be treated as "parasites," all while billionaires get richer, we've profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus' teachings.

We Are a Democracy!
“We don't live in a democracy, we live in a constitutional republic." This is like saying "I don't have a dog, I have a golden retriever." A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. You didn't catch anyone in a gotcha. You told everyone you don't know what words mean.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

This very handsome boy is 1 year old today! We have only been blessed with him for about 6 weeks & he is still a bit shy with us, but I’m already thrilled to celebrate the joy that is Boots the cat.
He has had several lick treats, played hard with Juliet the kitten, & had lots of naps ❤️

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they shot him in the street?
Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.

Claiming to follow Jesus who was unjustly accused, arrested, and executed by the state, all with religious justification, and then passionately supporting the state without question as it aggressively goes after people has to be one of the most blatant contradictions in history.

We have a finite amount of time to spend thinking while on this earth and I am very resentful of how much of it has been monopolized by the whims of a demented old real estate scumbag

To all those Catholics still saying "America first," I would like to remind you that the official teaching of the Catholic Church is "the poor first."
And neither Christ nor the Church are bound by borders.

Notice how quickly “we want our nation to uphold Christian values” turns into “it’s not the government’s job to feed the hungry or help the poor!” which are actually things Christ taught his followers to value.
