I was diagnosed with DCIS last week. Early detection will save me, something that wasn’t possible when my cousins died of breast cancer. Cutting research funding is reckless. Lives depend on progress. #CancerResearch #BreastCancerAwareness #ScienceMatters #FundResearch #EarlyDetectionSavesLives

@schumer.senate.gov, respectfully sir it is time for you to resign and let someone who is willing to take a stand against the oligarchs running the government. A government shutdown doesn’t scare me. The collapse of our democracy does. What are you democrats doing? From most Americans point of view

The Democrats need to get out to rural America and LISTEN to the working class, the blue collar folks. Most people want to be left alone and provide for our families. Majority, a vast majority, are good folks and are tired of being generalized and misunderstood. ⬇️🧵

Right now is the time for them to hit the ground running. Listen to the working poor. Listen to their dreams for their future and the future of our country. The Dems need to take notes from the conversations and come up with a plan.

If there really was fraud he could’ve come up with one plausible reason. Trusting the GOP right now is like trusting Hannibal when he invites you to dinner. 🙄

"There's so much fraud, waste, and abuse." "Can you give us an example?" "Oh ho ... trust us, there's so much fraud, waste and abuse, you wouldn't believe it." "Try me! Just one." "Sorry, there's too much fraud, waste, and abuse. I can't pick out just one instance of fraud, waste, and abuse."

I have a honest question. 🙋🏻‍♀️ How is Musk-Trump firing Federal employees helping our economy? National Parks will not be able to operate during peak seasons which means small businesses will suffer and more than likely go out of business. 🧵⬇️

Now he and the GOP are going after Medicaid. What will this mean for my Mother and Mother-in-law? If they have no income what are their alternatives? Next thing on the agenda is Medicare which will shut down assisted living facilities. More jobs lost. 🧵⬇️

I’ve seen people’s posts cheering on Musk-Trump gutting Federal Government Agencies without considering the long term consequences for the average citizen. I will say it again, for every job lost our economy suffers. Again explain to me how this benefits us? Explain it like I’m five. 🔚 🧵

By shutting down USAID he’s not only hurting those who need assistance but the farmers who grew the produce. They are now without an income. For every job lost our economy suffers. 🧵⬇️

Re-examining Faith: A Journey, Not a Departure Deconstructing faith often gets a bad rap, but I see it as re-examining what I was taught. I’ve always questioned things that didn’t make sense, not to dismantle my faith but to understand it more deeply. (🧵⬇️)

If your search for answers is leading you away from God, then it’s not truth. Take a moment to evaluate what’s shaping your questions and where they’re leading you. Truth will always draw you closer to Jesus, not away from Him. (🧵⬇️)

The framework? Wrestling with questions with God, not against Him, using the Bible as my blueprint. For the last several years, I have been working through theological questions that I’m not ready to share yet. (🧵⬇️)

@mimbasinger.bsky.social

I’m using Scripture alongside theologians like N.T. Wright, Tim Mackey, and others to dig deep. I’ve learned that understanding the Bible requires knowing its genre, cultural context, and audience—reading passages in light of the whole story. (🧵⬇️)

I liken this process to remodeling a house—sometimes, you have to strip things down to the foundation. For me, that foundation has always been the core tenets of Christianity, like the Apostles’ Creed. (🧵⬇️)

Is it escaping people’s notice that Elon Musk and DOGE have control over our country? He has all the power because of his technology access and ability to lock federal agencies, and I bet the Presidents, systems and accounts.

It’s so frustrating for those of us who could see the handwriting on the wall. We are seeing evilness of empire in real time. The Supreme Court gave Trump carte blanche to break any laws he wants and he’s running with it. Where will it stop?

This year our BSF is studying Revelation. My focus has been on Jesus-the slain Lamb. As we discuss suffering at the hands of false leaders it’s strikingly clear to me that Christian Nationalism will be a major factor in this. Anyone who is a Jesus follower…

knows what it’s like to have your salvation and Christian faith questioned because you will not toe the party lines. That’s why my allegiance will never be to any political party but to the Lamb.

We are told to pray for our government leaders. My prayer with a sincere heart is that God would completely break the strongholds of Trump and his MAGA minions over our government, country and churches. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

The mandate for Christians from the mouth of Jesus. He would be kicked out of many churches today for being too woke and many religious leaders would want to kill him for speaking the truth in love.

Taking steps to disengage the influence of oligarchs from my. First step was canceling my Amazon Prime membership. I deleted my instagram account which automatically killed my Threads account. Looking for #Christians #againstchristiannationalism #theology #Christfollowers #BibleNerds

You are up to date.
