@elonmusk Oh bullshit

The radical left has been using fraudulent government programs for a long time to import and retain vast numbers of illegal (and legal, in some cases) immigrants to win elections and turn America into a single-party state, destroying any real democracy. The more you look at it, the more you will be horrified at what your tax money is doing and the fact that, if this is not reversed, your vote will mean nothing. The most obvious case example is the Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, a state that historically had zero Somalis, electing Ilhan Omar to the US Congress. The same is happening in Europe, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Let's bring attention to enablers, who do nothing, when people are injured by religious leaders. goodmenproject.com/featured-conte…

@ElisabethIngram Tragic and true mic drop

It’s so funny that people don’t believe women but they will believe it happened if the perpetrators kept notes and we get to read them.

@elonmusk No, kindness, empathy, and care for the least of these will always be around- no matter how much you hate them.

“Baby, what happened to Woke?” Dead, my darling, Woke is dead.

What happens when pastors dismiss adult clergy sexual abuse (ACSA) as merely an “affair”—and obscure devastating realities of abuse & coercion? In this talk. Dr David Pooler (@DKPooler) dismantles the myth that ACSA is a matter of consensual relationship. julieroys.com/podcast/unders…

The SBC's sexual abuse crisis is interwoven with its misogyny. That's a reality that Beth Allison Barr & Savannah Locke illuminate in ALL THE BURIED WOMEN. In episode 4, I join the conversation, with @RobertDownen_ @dkpooler & more. #ThisistheSBC podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/epi…

@MikeWingerii Do what you need to do. Exposure of abuse or corruption is necessary.

Goodbye. I am about to embark on the creation of several videos that will cause many to think that I’m off base, compromised, unspiritual, attacking the church, or otherwise not worthwhile anymore. I know this is going to happen but I’m proceeding anyways. Why? Because I think that accountability for villains in church leadership is important and God honoring. It honors God to defend the victims. It honors God to expose such deeds that the church would be unleavened. It honors God to refuse to participate in or tolerate false miracles, false prophecies, false leaders, oppressive systems, “elitist leaders” cultures, and unbiblical teachings. The problem is that accountability hasn’t come from within the movements that need it. Instead, movements like IHOPKC, Bethel, Morningstar, and others have enabled such abuses and blocked proper accountability. So it falls on the wider church to speak up and protect people. For those who will say that they have been blessed by my ministry before this and now are checking out, just know that I’m grateful for the opportunity to be part of God blessing you in some way. I understand that what I’m about to do can be seen as divisive, extreme, and unnecessary, especially to those who haven’t talked to the victims of such predators and false leaders. I don’t anticipate being able to convince the majority that what I’m doing is good and needful. Know that I am grateful for the chance to have ministered to you in the past and that I am doing my best to do what’s right and God-honoring in the future. When you think about it, Jeremiah and a number of OT prophets were dealing with opposition from those who basically thought they were being unnecessarily negative, divisive, and ungracious. Goodbye to those who will no longer view or support my content. I’m grateful I could help in the past and regret that this future project will inevitably result in me looking like an ungodly villain in your eyes.

@LenaArbring @reachjulieroys Absolutely!!

@reachjulieroys @dkpooler But beware, to actually have justice, words are not enough. Those words must get substance in reality or they produce no justice only an illusion. Only when the words carry fruit in action. And then we must see what kind of fruit it actually is!

Justice is the final stage of healing. For justice to happen, we have to have leaders and institutions who will fully admit the truth, confessing their part in the abuse, trauma and oppression, and say, We’re going to make it right. – Dr. David Pooler (@DKPooler) #Restore2025

@andrewbullard15 @reachjulieroys Just the fact that there are so many leaders harming people is the evidence. I have heard predators report how easy it is to remain the churches- just anecdotes- no study that I’ve seen.

@reachjulieroys @dkpooler Is there evidence that predators actually seek out churches? It seems to be true I’m just curious if there’s any evidence of perps confessing such things.

Bishop Budde is actually the vulnerable one (who could be punished in multiple ways for speaking up for vulnerable people).

@libsoftiktok Come on!! Give me a break.

Biden preemptively pardoned the January 6th committee. Everything they told you about January 6th was a lie. Now we know for a fact that these treasonous, corrupt officials are guilty.

@RandPaul No it shows the vitriol that you and Donald Trump and others heaped on man for no reason. He was just trying to do his job and enhance the health of people. Biden is just trying to protect him from unjust future treatment.

If there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden’s pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal. As Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed. Fauci’s pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception. Ignominious! Anthony Fauci will go down in history as the first government scientist to be preemptively pardoned for a crime.

@tracesoffaith Thinking about leaving

Gosh, a mass exodus from Twitter every few months it seems. Curious, are you still here?

@TovRose You are correct, it is my error on the overstatement about conviction. The point remains that criminal liability is about the jury believing he sexually assaulted her. Which is my point.

The statement contains several points that need clarification: 1. Jury Verdict: In May 2023, a jury in New York found Donald Trump liable for the sexual abuse of E. Jean Carroll in a civil case, not for sexual assault in a criminal sense. The distinction is important because civil liability does not equate to a criminal conviction. In this case, Trump was found liable for battery (sexual abuse) and defamation, and he was ordered to pay $5 million to Carroll. 2. Criminal vs. Civil: The term "convicted" typically applies to criminal cases, where guilt is established beyond a reasonable doubt. In civil cases like this, the standard is lower; it's based on a preponderance of evidence, meaning it's more likely than not that the claim is true. Therefore, saying Trump was "convicted" by a jury for sexual assault is not accurate in the legal context. 3. Perception and Safety: The statement suggests that voting for Trump might make someone unsafe for survivors of clergy sexual abuse. This is a subjective interpretation. The safety of survivors isn't directly correlated with a vote for a political figure unless there are specific policies or actions directly affecting survivor support or legal protections that stem from their political stance or administration. Propagandized talking points need to evaluated and verified for authenticity. 4. Impact on Survivors: The impact of Trump's legal issues on survivors of sexual abuse can vary widely among individuals. Some might feel validated by the legal acknowledgment of Trump's actions, while others might feel that it doesn't change their personal experiences or safety concerns unless there's a direct change in policies or societal attitudes towards survivors. While Trump was indeed found liable for sexual abuse in a civil context, which does carry significant legal and social implications, the terminology and implications for personal safety need careful consideration. The broader societal effects of such legal findings on survivors of sexual abuse involve complex dynamics of public perception, legal system trust, and policy changes.

If you voted for Trump, please be aware that for any adult clergy sexual abuse survivor, your vote may have now made you unsafe for them. Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers of sexual assault and a jury awarded the victim money. Please ponder this sobering reality. #ACSA

@scottabe This really isn’t about me- I’m simply supporting survivors I know who feel upset about those who supported Trump for the reasons I mentioned above- it’s that simple. I’m happy for you that you are unaffected.

@dkpooler Clearly you don't have the slightest idea why otherwise decent and ethical people voted for Felon J. Trump. But then again, I only have an MA Psych, so I can still relate to them. Clue time. You're part of the reasons why they did.

@scottabe -I don’t think so- you are probably an exception then- clearly we aren’t hearing the same people

@dkpooler That's ridiculous. And I'm a survivor. I know some Trumpers, strongly disagree with them but they are perfectly safe. In any case, it is MY responsibility to provide for my safety.

@ElisabethIngram Yes we can!!

When sexual trauma survivors receive support instead of blame, risk of developing PTSD drops dramatically. Yet most face judgment rather than compassion. By changing how we respond as a society, we can prevent PTSD and its devastating ripple effects. #traumaconsciousleadership
