Opinion | How Trump's amoral presidency galvanized the religious left
www.nbcnews.com
For decades, conservatives controlled American religious discourse. But a progressive coalition is on the rise.Our new press secretary’s sister is a Unitarian Universalist minister! 🤗🤩
It really doesn’t make sense! For some reason I did it I don’t think will ever find an answer I’m not sure
It's about time y'all woke up. If only the religious left had been active and organized, and motivated, to stop what happened 4 years ago.
It is time we reclaim the righteous path from heresy and the Pharisees. The Paula Whites, Franklin Grahams and legion of fake pastors more interested in proximity to power than the tenets of the Gospels must be repudiated.
The religious...no left about it. The religious right are confused about Jesus' teachings.

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Atheists were left out.
Let's see if the religious left can the US drone strikes against our Muslim brothers and sisters. If the drone strikes stop, then I will believe.
Not amoral. It is immoral.Amoral means morally neutral. Creamed corn is a amoral. Donald Trump is evil. He is immoral. I wish people would quit using the word amoral to describe something that is immoral.
The solution to the abuses of power, to our Representatives not representing us is to replace our Republic with a Democracy so “we the people” can represent ourselves. Our Representatives should have done these things long ago without us having to say a single word: 1)Permanently tie the fed min wage to the cost of living specific to each city and county. 2)Mandate that all employers pay their employees by the hour and for every hour worked. 3)Mandate One Bill=One Goal, putting a stop to the deliberate attempts to do nothing or shove through ideas that are so lousy they can’t stand on their own. 4)Create an economic system that’s designed to “permanently eliminate poverty” by subdividing it into “Wants” and “Needs”. Anything in the “Wants” category can keep the existing system that allows the marketplace to set the price. Anything in the “Needs” category must be sold on a sliding scale basis according to what someone’s income is compared to the fed min wage and cost of living specific to the city or county of residence and, restricted by the actual cost to import, produce, store, distribute, sell.
💯💯💯
Since when are mormons progressive about anything...? 🤨😮
IF TRUMP DOESN'T PAY FOR WHAT HAPPENED AT THE WHITE HOUSE, THAT CAN ONLY MEAN THAT THE POLICE OFFICER HAS BEEN KILLED FOR NOTHING..WOW😟🥺👣😇

Rev. William Barber Says Biden Admin Must Not Sacrifice Racial & Economic Justice for False Unity
www.democracynow.org
We look at how COVID-19 has increased economic inequality with anti-poverty campaigner Reverend William Barber, who delivered the homily at the official inaugural prayer service. Barber says President Joe Biden’s focus on unity cannot come at the expense of major reforms needed to fight systemic r...Democrats must use their majority to pass legislation for the people. If we don’t do this and let republicans stop these efforts. Reverend Barber says it well.
We need actions, not words! If our Representatives won’t represent us then let’s replace our Republic with a Democracy so “we the people” can represent ourselves. This is some of what our Representatives should have done long ago without us having to say anything: 1)Permanently tie the fed min wage to the cost of living specific to each city and county. 2)Mandate that all employers pay their employees by the hour and for every hour worked. 3)Mandate One Bill=One Goal, putting a stop to the deliberate attempts to do nothing or shove through ideas that are so lousy they can’t stand on their own. 4)Create an economic system that’s designed to “permanently eliminate poverty” by subdividing it into “Wants” and “Needs”. Anything in the “Wants” category can keep the existing system that allows the marketplace to set the price. Anything in the “Needs” category must be sold on a sliding scale basis according to what someone’s income is compared to the fed min wage and cost of living specific to the city or county of residence and, restricted by the actual cost to import, produce, store, distribute, sell.
YES 🙌
That is a very tough one though and there are so many haters and people who misunderstand this movement!
i so agree!
No one unifies with bonkers unless...
We all must play the wait and see game for now.
The Rev is telling the real truth
✊🏾💯❗️
Truth
Wow!!!...the truth is eye opening!!!!
Why didnt he say this when 45 was in seat wait to dems come in speak & demand wait & see
I can't imagine another president more sincere and more equipped to deliver racial and economic justice as Biden has sworn to do.
Right. No unity without justice.
Amen...💚
agree!
No worries--he won't.
I agree
Stealing everything. Democrats stand up. Everyone stand up.
Biden is an elected President, Not God. The Unity of the American people is on us as people. We must meet this halfway to Unite with each other. We must put in the wok too.
Amen!
💯💯💯
amen
“To grieve often requires something tangible, something you can see. It helps our imagination somehow to get it wrapped around the severity of this pandemic, and to turn a number into a flag that occupies space on our lawn, it helps us grasp the seriousness of what we’re dealing with and the sheer number of loss.” -Steve Crain, pastor of Lafayette Church of the Brethren, Indiana Poor People's Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival

"We stand to witness the greatest rise in inequality since records began. The deep divide between the rich and poor is proving as deadly as the virus. Rigged economies are funneling wealth to a rich elite who are riding out the pandemic in luxury, while those on the front line of the pandemic — shop assistants, health care workers, and market vendors — are struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table." Gabriela Bucher, executive director, Oxfam #PoorPeoplesCampaign
The megarich have already recovered from the pandemic. It may take the poor a decade to so do
www.cnn.com
Nine months. That's how long it took the world's top 1,000 billionaires to recoup their fortunes after the coronavirus pandemic hit.The megarich are living on borrowed time.
The reason and its solution are obvious. A Republic won’t allow good citizens including a few of our Representatives to do good things. So let’s start by replacing our Republic with a Democracy. A better system of government, a Democracy would lower the abuses of power by spreading the power out and, would give good people the power they need to do good things.
The megarich recovered? The megarich got richer from the pandemic.
Tax the hell out of corporations and use that money for socialist programs.
It's about time to give the billionaire class a choice: Eisenhower era income tax rates or the guillotine.
Yup! The 1% take everything and leave nothing for the rest of us.
Im going to be content and keep praying. Jesus. 👑🇺🇸
We must work together to change the course in the History of Catastrophe, The Rich Get Richer and The Poor Get Poorer 😓
The super-rich are richer than ever! Tax them!
And trump helped these super rich...😖
"Repair the breach!"
Recovered? They were profiting at record rates through the whole damn pandemic.
Were they even affected???
The megarich PROFITED from the pandemic, and STILL ARE.
They were making money from this pandemic at any cost even at the cost of lives
My heart is filled with pride for the @fightfor15 worker leaders who have fought so hard for a $15 minimum wage. Today’s introduction of the Raise the Wage Act is a huge accomplishment, but I know they won’t stop until every working person is paid what they are worth.
Thursday’s service featured prayers from Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, Greek Orthodox, Navajo, Hindu, Sikh, Mormon & other traditions. There is a broad & powerful coalition of religious groups that support a progressive way forward for our country. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/amp/ncna1255461?__twitter_impression=true
