Today, just as it is every day, is a good day to affirm our support for LGBTQ persons.

@DavidAFrench At this point, Metaxas would put Bonhoeffer in prison.

This is utterly deranged authoritarianism. The way in which so many MAGA Christians have totally lost their moorings in this moment is more than disturbing—it’s dangerous.
Right Wing Watch@RightWingWatch
Right-wing commentators James Kunstler and Eric Metaxas suggest that Trump needs to declare a national emergency and outlaw the Democratic Party: "I think it would probably look something like a civil war." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

@JimLaPorta @joekent16jan19 Trump apparently thinks marrying someone else after you’re widowed is a scandal but marrying someone else after an affair is a-ok.
English
Is the president implying something by mentioning @joekent16jan19 “remarried fairly quickly.” For the record: CTICS Shannon Kent was killed in Jan. 2019. Mr. Kent married Heather Kaiser, a West Point graduate and Army intelligence officer, in August 2023.
CSPAN@cspan
Q: "Did you know whether Joe Kent was leaking?" President Trump: "I'm not a fan of the guy…His wife was killed. He remarried fairly quickly…He ran for Congress, he lost..…They gave him a job in the White House and this is what he does to me."

@DavidAFrench Unfortunately, we’ll probably get an RFK/Kid Rock sauna video telling us why we shouldn’t be able to get this.

@richardcarlbom @MinnesotaDFL I was one of those new people! Normally, I’d only go to a caucus if I had something to vote for where the outcome was in doubt. In this case, I just went to meet likeminded people. And ten years ago, I was still a Republican.
English
In 2025 the @MinnesotaDFL raised $11.8M, the most for an odd year in our history. In 2026, more than 30,000 people showed up to DFL Precinct Caucuses.
People are pissed. We are ready to provide a check on Trump and make life affordable for you.

I live in a small, quiet, low-crime community where moms walk their kids to school and an old cowboy rides his horse around town. It is also majority Latino (including the moms and the old cowboy), and Trump’s troops are causing chaos. This incident was 2 blocks from our house.
Anonymous@YourAnonNews
ICE raids West Chicago and takes two documented men (for no reason) and then drops them off a block away because they are legal. Your rights are being violated daily by the Trump administration.

@emzanotti DeSantis is definitely not my guy, and I also happen to love a huge amount of music since 1995. I don’t think he’s exactly wrong though. I think a lot of it is just how ok one is with music going away from the golden age of rock bands.

@hoopersnook What about Phil 4:13 when it comes to high school math team? 😄
Seriously though, that’s great advice. Verses out of context lead so many astray.
English
Ok. Now that I’ve slept on it, I’m gonna say something. Pastors, youth leaders, churches, parents- stop telling kids to choose a life verse. Singular verses, divorced from context as guiding influence on one’s life is how we get this. Jer 29:11. Nope. Phil 4:13 in sports? Nope.

Hi. This is idolatrous, horrible eisegesis. It is taking the Lord’s name in vain.
This verse is in the context of God calling Isaiah to address the syncretism and corruption of his day. It mocks the Word of God.

@JoshKraushaar Yeah, it’s usually a bad sign when you have millions and millions of people come out and peacefully protest for a cause. 🤷♂️🙄

@ZevWaldman @JoshKraushaar And if those five Democrats are worried about it, it would be because they are too high.
English
@JoshKraushaar There are maybe five Democrats in the whole country who worry about that. (Five may be too high.)

@DavidAFrench This was about a mile away from me. I woke up to this message, which was in itself horrifying, but not nearly as horrifying as the news I’d hear a few hours later.
English
@LChas22 She blocked me at some point but it seems that I’m now unblocked. I’m guessing it was a megablock because I don’t think there was a particular tweet I had that would have that inspired a block.
English
Honestly, curious the guy/ girl ratio for who has been blocked by @megbasham
She blocked me after one interaction whereas I have seen guys confront her on multiple things and she’s never blocked them.🤔
Comment below with picture proof for my unofficial study.

@atrupar I’d fail fourth graders if this was their writing assignment based on capitalization and punctuation mistakes alone, even if I give them a pass for the Orwellian fascist rhetoric.

Rumors are going around that Pete Hegseth might be on his way out. I don’t know if that’s true, but just in case, I want to do a thread on his style. To me, Hegseth’s wardrobe reflects a common pitfall guys fall into when they first start caring about clothes. 🧵

@DavidAFrench The entire Pentagon? Please let it be true.
English
They're always victims. Always.
Republicans against Trump@RpsAgainstTrump
WH Press Secretary claims that the “entire Pentagon” is working against Pete Hegseth. 🤡
English
@1drcole Yes, but I’m mostly on Threads and BlueSky now. I just pop in a bit on this app very occasionally. Christian NeverTrumpers (both longtime progressives and former Republicans who may still be kinda centrist) are in abundance elsewhere.
English
@Ameen_HGA One thing I think we see a lot of these days and will increasingly see is the double-standard of lambasting pro-life Christians who support Democrats (eg Liz Cheney) while giving a free pass to Republicans to support legal abortion. It's all politics, no substance for them now.
English
I’ve said for a while that the Republican Party will become less and less pro-life. You see that with the election of a non pro life president and his nomination for a crazy pro choice HHS director.
This is now the new threshold for the party and it’s not going to go backwards.
English
This account is not gonna be around much longer. Between M*sk's hatred for trans ppl & his close association with the incoming president I don't think an ongoing presence on this app specifically is safe for me (or you).
I'm billieiswriting in all the other places. 🟦&🧵

@mattnightingale I'm always amazed at the grace I see from people like you. I'm a straight, white, Christian, former Republican guy, and even I have a hard time not wanting to pull the plug on certain relationships. (I do take into account past and current closeness and how obnoxious they are.)
English
I've been thinking.
I'm just not willing to give up on half the people of this nation. I won't cut them out of my life.
My parents voted for Trump. Some people in the church I pastor voted for Trump. One of the gay men in the support group I'm currently leading voted for Trump.
English
@stewartdantec It’s hard to think of a Sunday when the witness of the American Church (at least among white Evangelicals) has ever been weaker
English
Pray for preachers tomorrow — especially those with members who are sad, angry, who feel betrayed, vulnerable, confused, and afraid at what the possibility of another Trump presidency would mean. May the God of all grace be near in these persons as they stand together.
