The problem isn’t that Trump wants to talk to America’s adversaries. We want leaders who would rather talk than shoot. But what Trump says is treasonous. It’s consistently isolationist & racist. It’s not that he’s talking, but what he’s saying.

This nation’s war on poverty should not only be concentrated on those who are unemployed or homeless; it should also be focused on those who are having to work 2, 3, or 4 jobs just to make ends meet.

This narrative about “saving our culture” is blatant white nationalism. The Bible says we preserve what was passed down to us by allotting an inheritance “for the aliens who reside among you & have begotten children among you. They shall be to you as citizens.” Ez 47:22

You can’t claim to be conservative while you liberally ignore what the Bible says about justice & mercy for immigrants. This isn’t Christian faith; it’s .

The suggestion that the only people who are poor are those who are too lazy to work is a lie that must be challenged.

Trump’s White House claims the War on Poverty is “largely over.” This is a lie of the 1st order. Just ask the 140 million Americans who are poor or low income—the 37 mil w/out health insurance or the quarter million who will die of low wealth this year.

To see Trump’s enablers in House claiming bias in the investigation against him is the height of hypocrisy. When report after report demonstrated prosecutorial bias vs poor black & brown people, Republicans said nothing. But for a rich white man, the system is biased?

Trump at NATO sounds like Nero. We need to say there’s a better way.

The Caesars who ruined Rome imagined themselves to be gods, but the early church called leaders to serve humanity, stand for the poor & do justice.

Those of us who took vows to preach the Gospel can’t do our job in America today w/out helping people distinguish b/w & the Christianity of Christ.

If we don’t help people name & condemn , they are left to believe this is the teaching of the church. Trump & the GOP have elevated Christian nationalism to a place where many confuse it w/ orthodox faith.

Yes, we must ask where he stands on Roe v Wade. But also ask about Brown v Board of Education, voting rights, voter suppression & gerrymandering.

We need a fusion critique of Kavanaugh as SCOTUS nominee. Yes, he is a very real threat to women's rights, but his legal positions also threaten millions of sick people & workers’ right to organize.

What we are seeing everyday is not normal politics. You have to go all the way back to the Redemption movement that overturned Reconstruction to find the kind of subversion of democracy we see in America today.
