I am grateful for the voices on Twitter that have challenged me to grow, expanded my imagination, stretched my heart to be larger, and opened me up to an even larger, greener, queerer, and beautiful Divine.
Deleting this app indefinitely, but leaving the account on standby. Focusing on liberation and inclusion work in my neighborhood.
You can find me on 🧵 with a simple search. Or “Found in Translation” in your podcast player.

My own view, perhaps unwelcome, is the Left needs a dramatically new bottom-up solidarity that's far more affirmative of traditional religion.
It is losing contact not only with many ordinary people but also ancient republicanism virtue politics & Abrahamic spiritual sources.

Some of y’all aren’t gonna be ready for it. Being under constant threat of terror, arrest, and brutality… while also refusing to give up your humanity or accept the programming, and producing the scholarship, art, and music to sustain your culture….takes practice

Just keep thinking about how superior Harris’s ground game was and how it didn’t even matter at all.

23/ This is the worst day in America since Pearl Harbor. Not because of what has happened *tonight*—nothing *happened*, in the literal sense, tonight—but because of what our country will now become in the short and medium term.
I cannot tell you how different your life is, now.

🚨URGENT🚨Getting reports people are being turned away to vote when their ID address doesn't match on file address - that is NOT correct! The addresses don't have to match. If you or someone you know runs into this, tell them to insist on filling out a provisional ballot.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“lmao" said Gandalf, “well it has.”

One of the biggest lies we Christians have come to believe is that the best and most effective way to address the pressing issues of our time is to gain more control over others rather than become more compassionate towards others.
This is the opposite of the gospel of Jesus.

You and I live in a world in which the internals look bad for Trump and he's starting to seem publicly addled and desperate. If Kamala wins, we'll sigh with relief and think that's that.
But that's not *their* world.
In *their* world, a Harris win launches a national emergency.

Whether it’s the the Biden White House misplacing an apostrophe in a transcript or Donald Trump explicitly threatening to execute Liz Cheney with a firing squad, both sides have badly soiled our national dialogue.

Them: *gasp* "You're going to let your kids celebrate the Devil's Holiday?"
Me: "I'm very conflicted about it. Part of me wants to shield them from all that bad, worldly influence. But every July they beg to go watch the fireworks, and I say yes."
Them: "...What?"
Me: "What?"
