Never before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. Markets continue to move after my previous tweet. The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now is closer to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four.

Ozturk was arrested by six masked officers — like the Gestapo.
Her only offense appears to be writing an op-ed in her school newspaper.
While I strongly disagree with the views expressed in her op-ed, they are not a valid basis for deportation.
This is flat out un-American.

I do wonder what the authors of the first American Book of Common Prayer (1789) would make of all these Episcopal parishes holding coronation liturgies. – at West Palm Beach, FL

No, the Church of a England is not debating whether to drop saying “Our Father.” Calm down, or whatever you need to do.

I'm not an expert on WWII. Were people in 1943 still discussing what annexed lands Hitler would get to keep as part of a "peace settlement"?

Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed strong support for Armenia on Sunday and condemned "illegal and deadly attacks by Azerbaijan" on its neighbor, openly taking sides in a dispute where American officials have been careful to mediate discreetly. nyti.ms/3BQU716

Sehr interessantes Interview von @georg_ismar mit Mychailo Podoljak. Sehr klar, was die Kriegsziele der Ukraine betrifft: "Wir wollen die Ukraine in den Grenzen von 1991 zurückbekommen (...) Natürlich, einschließlich der Krim."
Die Lage der #Ukraine ist nicht gut. Erschöpft und nachdenklich wirkt der Vertraute von Präsident Selenskyj, Mychailo Podoljak, beim Interview in Kiew, die Pistole immer in seiner Nähe. Interessant, wie er die Grünen mahnt, die AKW länger laufen zu lassen. plus.tagesspiegel.de/politik…

No surprise, @LambethConf Dr. Esther Mombo brings down the house calling us to see Christ in another color than white, adding a call for the end of colonialism, and the need for justice - inviting us to reject all other kingdoms but the Kingdom of Christ. (1 Peter 2:13-3:22)

Protecting #LGBTI rights: In 1981, the #ECHR ruled that Northern Ireland’s ban on homosexuality violated Jeffrey Dudgeon’s right to a private life.
This led to decriminalisation in many countries, affecting millions of people.

Why the sudden shift to the Lambeth Conference program? entangledstates.org/2022/07/…

Being disappointed or even angry at the inclusion of the Lambeth 1998 resolution re human sexuality in the current “call” documents is necessary. Being surprised however reveals gross inattentiveness to wider global reality of Anglicanism, and that’s an abundance of privilege.

Olga Skabeyeva says Russia just needs to sit back and wait for the West to "run out of people" as the LGBT population there grows
For context, the population of Russia itself fell by 311,000 in the first four months of this year
