The election officer, running a county polling center in California, planned to exclusively ID people who "looked" like they were "not here legally."

Authorities say they are now investigating and have dispatched personnel to the center.

Big ups to @dmehro.bsky.social for this one.
In a phone call, Riverside County public information officer Elizabeth Florer confirmed that the county had hired an election worker matching WIRED’s findings, and committed to ensuring all election laws are followed, confirming that the county is investigating the incident. Florer added that additional personnel have now been deployed to the Hemet polling center to provide oversight and ensure strict compliance with election laws.

In baptism, we have already given our fealty, and we cannot give it again.”

Melissa Florer-Bixler @MelissaFloBix Every time I get a gray hair I remember that one of my stem cells is like, "the working conditions here are awful and I am done." And I respect that, from a labor perspective

Well. How did I get here?
can’t exactly remember what compelled me to request “The Revolution of 1848: Dr Herman Kiefer” by Warren Washburn Florer from inter library loan. But it’s a pretty navy blue book with title in gold lettering and a decorative gold border

On this topic, if anyone has any good book recommendations for books specifically about Christians having enemies / loving enemies / praying for enemies, I'd love to hear them.

So far I have "How To Have An Enemy" by Melissa Florer-Bixler and Bonhoeffer's "Discipleship.

Okay, here we go. *deep breath*

God loves me.

God loves me so much he died to save me.

This inspires in me gratitude and love for God.

God loves my neighbor so much he died to save my neighbor.

This inspires in me love for my neighbor.

Donald Trump is also my neighbor...

This inspires...

If this is the same church where Melissa Florer-Bixler was Sr. Pastor, I can only say wow. How blessed they are to have found you to follow in her footsteps.
Praise God.

Det er også en ting i denne tråden jeg savner: Faktisk.no går ikke etter artikler i mediene som ikke er belemret med faktafeil. Derimot tar de oftest tak i ting i eksempelvis SOME som florer som sannhet, men i virkeligheten er rene løgner.

Og useriøse medier som kommer med ting som ikke er sant.

We who are about to die can double down, organize and lick this bastard too. We have nothing to lose.
This is how the modern Anabaptists practice their centuries of forgiveness and pacifism. Let's roll.

In case you didn't know, Mennonites and our co-Anabaptists are a diverse bunch... 😬

Great reflections here by Melissa Florer-Bixler on "Anabaptist Trumpism": melissaflorerbixler.substack.com/p/anabaptist...
Anabaptist Trumpism
The authors of "Why many of us voted for Trump" wanted understanding. I got something else.

I just attended a conference where Melissa Florer-Bixler was the key note on the book of revelation. It was excellent.

For These Times:
Examining the idea of enemies in Christianity, and urging the church to address power, justice, and oppressive systems, Florer-Bixler calls on Christians to confront their role in injustice, embrace righteous anger, and engage in challenging dialogues for justice and peace.

A black and white image of an uprooted tree with sprawling roots, symbolizing upheaval and transformation. Overlaid on it is a bold quote by Rev. Melissa Florer-Bixler: *"We declare 'Jesus is Lord' by dismantling systems of death and destruction and planting new life in their place."*

A quote from Rev. Melissa Florer-Bixler’s book *How to Have an Enemy* is displayed on a light background with a sprig of leaves. The quote reads: *"We love our enemies when we extend an invitation to a form of life where those who have the power to destroy others no longer exercise the self-destruction of hatred, hoarding, and violence. We love our enemies by creating a world that releases them from the wages of their own violence."
