To male evangelical pastors who resonate with Trump’s call to arms against #metoo for “vulnerable” white men who “can be accused at any moment and have their lives ruined” by a false accusation. 1/
There are no more false accusations of sexual assault than any other crime—about 2%. Meanwhile, 1 in 5 women in US are victims of rape/sexual assault and 60% of survivors NEVER REPORT IT AT ALL. Who is in danger here? Under your logic women should be deathly afraid of men. 2/
Let’s think about this: To believe that men are suddenly going to be falsely accused by women who they never abused is to reveal an incredibly low view of women. It is also incredibly narcissistic. Believe it or not, we don’t live our lives thinking about you! #CallToPause 3/
Men who have reason for concern are those living in the dark—who have actually abused women! Now is the time of #revelation. Will you look at the light of Jesus’ truth and curse it?! If so, you are far from God and you will miss God’s opportunity for restoration and healing. 4/
If a man’s value is oriented around his achievements and how much of the world he controls, then women’s lives won’t matter. All that will matter is the capture and keeping of power. 5/
If a man’s value is oriented around how well he is connected to himself, his family, his community and the world; with love and respect flowing to and from all—then Jesus’ revelation of brokenness becomes an invitation to healing and reconnection. #CallToPause 6/
My prayer for Christian men in era of #metoo: God, help them see your full image in all women. Help them see our divine call/capacity to help lead the world. And may they welcome and surrender to the light of your revelation. #CallToPause 7/7

#BrettKavanaugh is the ninth Justice of the Supreme Court. 1/
A man who has been proven to have lied under oath multiple times about his role in torture under Bush43 and about multiple details surrounding at least 2 (possibly 3) credible allegations of sexual assault made against him... 2/
A man who wrote that Native Hawaiians (and by extension Native Americans) are NOT due the terms of their treaties with the US—sovereignty over their own elections... 3/
People ask what #patriarchy is. Think “Jim Crow” and apply it to women—all women. It’s a web of systems, structures, practices and believes that enforce gender hierarchy and silence women. 1/
Let’s be clear. The .@FBI is already conducting #BrettKavanuagh background check. Same for all Supreme Court nominees. #ChristineBlaseyFord is simply asking that they include her claim in their normal course of work, so that the facts that Kavanaugh is judged by are confirmed. 1/
27 years ago the White House ordered the FBI to investigate #AnitaHill’s claim against @JusticeThomas67. This is #BASIC. The investigation was complete within 3 days. 2/
Teaching “principles” rather than teaching excellent exegesis is a narcissistic tactic of control. ANYONE can claim the scripture says ANYTHING when they leave the scripture out. Brings followers into close relationship w/ leader, but leaves them not knowing Jesus (The Word). 2/
What .@JohnPiper did here was unbelievably manipulative. Demonstrated #ZERO submissiveness to scripture. Has nerve to guilt/shame women into “submission to scripture” then offers #NONE. Only offers his own “principles,” which scripture would drop-kick. 3/
1. FACT CHECK: Dreamers DID NOT break the law. They were brought here BY THEIR PARENTS as children. They are not responsible and should not be penalized for someone else’s wrong. #basicethics#nosoullesspolitics#TruthMatters#DreamActNow

2. FACT CHECK: Dreamers DO PAY TAXES. Under DACA Dreamers are able to work, pay taxes, Social Security, build businesses, pay business registration fees, etc. #TrumpShutDown pitting Dreamers against “tax paying Americans” is ignorant as hell. #nosoullesspolitics#DreamActNow
