In Norway, a pro-Palestine activist hung herself using hooks pierced into her own skin. This is mental illness.

Stanley Pophal, 64, Wausau, Wisconsin, pleaded guilty Friday to defrauding investors out of $14.25 million in the Western District of Wisconsin. According to court documents, Pophal defrauded 190 investors and used the funds to purchase hundreds of snowmobiles, motorcycles, and vehicles. As part of his plea agreement with the government, Pophal agreed to forfeit these items. Public auction of these assets will occur at a later date. FBI Milwaukee's Eau Claire Resident Agency and the IRS Criminal Investigation jointly investigated this case. More information: justice.gov/usao-wdwi/pr/w…

@LadyDemosthenes @CHS_Seminary The devil is Jesus’s brother thing should be enough to say nope to it.

Again, this is important because we’re talking about who God is, and we are defining him by what he can do. The God I worship is the only all powerful being in existence and he existed before anything else. The god I’m seeing in the Mormon church is not the same God. So we could use the same term God, but we be talking about two very different beings and that matters.

The Mormon church (because maybe not all Mormons believe this, but this is what the church teaches) brings God low. The God of the Mormon church didn’t create the world out of nothing. He only reorganized what was already there. This makes God less than God. The Mormon church demoted God, and promotes humans with the potential to be gods.

The coffee scoop was stuck in the jar this morning and when I finally yanked it out, coffee went flying everywhere.

This state raised me. This state saved me. Go Vote.

Y'all means all. Every family. Every kid. Every neighbor. In Wisconsin, it’s a way of life. And it's worth protecting. Happy #Pride, Wisconsin. What did today mean to you? 👇

So much love, you can feel it in the air. Happy Pride, Milwaukee!

@HansFiene Annnd people wonder why I don’t answer the door.

Imagine you're a pastor and a couple tells you that they'd love to join your church, but they are polyamorous, and they want to know if that's acceptable to you. You, of course, say, "no, in order to be a Christian, you have to practice monogamy." But they respond, "oh, but we do! We don't develop close emotional bonds with our other partners. We practice EMOTIONAL fidelity! We just don't believe we have have to practice BODILY fidelity in order to be monogamous." How would you respond? You'd say, "well, the Christian definition of 'monogamy' requires bodily fidelity. It's actually the very core of the concept. So if you want me to acknowledge you as a Christian, you can't reject the thing that is the core of the Christian teaching." In the same way, what do Christians mean when we confess the "divine nature" or the "divinity" of Jesus? Well, for Christians, the very core belief about the nature of God is that He is one. There is no possibility of pantheons or demigods, of created being being exalted into "divine" status. Divinity is not something that can be conferred or multiplied. So when the Mormons tell you that they believe the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are "one in purpose, but not one in nature," they are not simply disagreeing with Christians on HOW God is one. They are fundamentally rejecting the very claim that God IS one. The purpose of the Creeds, of course, was not to bind to the church to a bunch of non-biblical terms or enslave Christians to Greek philosophical constructs. The purpose of the Creeds, on this point, was to give us a concise way to express and defend two very biblical assertions: 1. That God is one. 2. That the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. When we insist that someone must confess Jesus to be of "one substance" with the Father, we are not haughtily demanding that people subscribe to overly-technical language. We are, very simply, insisting that people believe there is and can be only one God. And so, in the end, when the Mormons accuse us of lying when we say they don't believe in the divinity of Jesus, you should hear this the same way you would a couple in an open marriage whining that you won't acknowledge them as monogamists just because they sleep with other people. Just as polyamorous couples fundamentally reject the heart of "monogamy" by rejecting bodily fidelity, Mormons fundamentally reject the Christian concept of "divinity" by rejecting that the Son is of the same divine substance as the Father.

The American people want lower costs. Not billions of their tax dollars going towards ICE agents so they can continue their chaos and lawlessness.

The fact is, things have gotten worse because of Donald Trump's poor decision-making, and Tom Tiffany has been with him every step of the way.

@brithume You’re assuming he thinks.

I wonder under what legal authority this Obama bro thinks Pritzker has to do such a thing.

Oh... you get it. They hate you. And they will never forgive Republicans for electing Trump

ICE is still active in Wisconsin. Arrests are ongoing statewide and spreading into new communities. We just launched a new page with know-your-rights information, emergency legal contacts across Wisconsin, and our Keep Families Together package. francescahong.com/policy/keep-fa…

@chicksonright Close?

Y'all. Help. There's a stick figure or cartoon character or creature or actor or SOMEONE that reminds me of Medea Benjamin and I CANNOT PLACE IT. I'm trying and trying to come up with who she reminds me of and am drawing a blank. Ideas? Here's the pic for reference:
