PSA on how protesting today is not the same as during the Civil Rights Movement. The state is more dangerous & no longer held accountable, their tools are more intrusive/further reaching, the consequences to those fighting for justice can be higher. This thread helps reframe.

Let me remind you of the events of Friday, October 7, 2016. I bet you've forgotten all but one of these--or, at the least, you've forgotten they all happened on the same day.
There's a =reason= they all happened on the same day. And there's a reason you forgot.

FYI: There has been a huge surge in the number of deepfake videos — some of which are quite well done — on this platform in the past few days. These are probably among the best quality deepfakes I’ve seen at this scale; most viewers are unable to tell that the videos are fake.
If you want to do good or be a good person, that's awesome.
If you want to be:
- seen as good
- applauded for being good
- have a reputation for doing good
without bothering to meet the requirements of Actually Doing/Being Good, there is absolutely nothing good about that.
As a Christian pastor, I unequivocally condemn Donald Trump using Holy Week to peddle “God Bless the USA” Bibles in order to pay jury-awarded damages to a woman he’s been found guilty of sexually assaulting.
👆🏻 I cannot believe that’s a sentence which needs to be written.
Complex systems in a complex society present failure in simple ways, whose causes are complex and upstream. Including causes where humans are incentivized for negative outcomes! Humans are a part, they are not exempt, even often a main factor. But rarely satisfying. Or hopeful.
We're five months into this Israel-Gaza debacle and still folks don't seem to understand that you can support Israel and oppose Netanyahu, support the Palestinian people and oppose Hamas, criticize Israeli brutality in Gaza and not be anti-Semitic, promote a Biden Admin policy…
Trump privately supports a nationwide 16 week abortion ban — but won’t say that out loud until after the primaries.
Ladies, it doesn’t matter what state you live in; your rights are on the ballot in November.
Vote accordingly.

i am deeply concerned that a good number of Christians are sociopaths ... in love with the sentimentality, illusion, and theater of the divine ... but not interested in the logistics of human dignity
