  1. Christian politician James Talarico replies to Trump by summing up what insults Jesus.

    Maybe American Christians are finding their way back to the word of their God.

  2. Texas is in play in a big way and so is the level of voter suppression, oppression and outright cheating by the Republicans.

    We need a tidal wave of voters to flood every polling station! 🌊

  5. I think I have to delete my #YouTube #account because of James Dell #Talarico’s incessant #campaign #Ads begging for #donations. It’s pathetic. I’m a life long #Democrat, & I’d luv for a Democrat to win a #Texas #Senate seat, but I don’t trust #BibleThumpers. I get a Joe #Manchin, Krystin #Sinema, Joe #Lieberman, and Jolly Green Giant … oops, I meant, John #Fetterman, vibe from Talarico. And he shows up as every other Ad on Youtube … it’s nuts. It’s insane.

    There is no #SkyDaddy. (1/2)

  6. I like James #Talarico and I’m glad that he’s sounding the alarm about #Paxton. That said, I can support him and still lament that he is the one in the position to be sounding alarms right now and not Jasmine #Crockett.

    The #DemocraticParty has a sexism and racism problem that it’s done nothing to address. Talarico is fine, just not when compared to Crockett who has more experience, more concrete ideas, better education, is better spoken, is a better debater, the list goes on.

    He won back in March because he was seen as “more electable” than Crockett. Which part exactly? I mean let’s not beat around the bush here, say it out loud. People knew that the party was so sexist and racist that it let a fascism fanboy win the presidency instead of electing a Brown Woman. So instead of admitting the existence of those biases and working to address them, the only takeaway seems to have been “Don’t risk it, put the white guy at the head of the table.”

    I’m so frustrated. We might win #Texas and that’s important but so is us fixing our own issues and right now we’re still ignoring them.

    Du denkst da auch im biblischen Sinne an Umkehr , später #Metanoia genannt?

    Da könnte der Dialog zwischen dem christlich-denokratischen James #Talarico & dem jüdischen NYT-Kolumnisten #EzraKlein zu Fragen von #Bibel & #Politik für Dich interessant sein. scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-

  8. Lieben Dank für das Interesse & die dialogische Rückmeldung, @DieWespe 🙏

    Unter dem Blogpost zum m.E. wichtigen Gespräch zwischen #JamesTalarico & #EzraKlein ist bereits ein intensiver Austausch entstanden.

    Und ich hoffe, in Zukunft noch einmal extra zu Kirche und Staat, Religion und Politik bei #Talarico bloggen zu können. Er hat sich an anderer Stelle dazu einmal sehr ausführlich und vertieft geäußert. scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-

  9. Guten Morgen - Tässle Kaffee ☕️?

    Die schrumpfende #Trump - #MAGA - Blase ist in Panik vor dem Aufstieg des texanischen Christdemokraten James #Talarico. Der Lehrer & Theologe zerlegt mit biblischer Sprache den „Christlichen Nationalismus“ & #Rechtsdualismus der wankenden Republikaner längst weit über #Texas hinaus. Er verteidigt die Trennung von #Kirche und #Staat als „sacred / heilig“ & verweist auf die Bedeutung von Liebe & Tat bei #Jesus.

    Schon versuchte das FCC einen TV-Auftritt des U.S.-Abgeordneten & Senatskandidaten bei Stephen #Colbert zu verhindern - was zu einem „FCC you!“ und einer Rekord - #YouTube - Sendung führte.

    Inzwischen gewann #JamesTalarico die Nominierung zu den Midterm-Senatswahlen mit Ansagen wie: „Die einzige Minderheit, die Amerika bedroht, sind die Milliardäre.“

    Und der jüdisch-christliche #Dialog mit #EzraKlein vom Januar 2026 ist für alle Interessierte an #Religion & dialogischem #Monismus sowie an #Judentum & #Christentum faszinierend. Enjoy! 🇺🇸🙏🤔

  10. Aha, der israelische Rechtsdualist #Weinthal verschickt wieder seine täglichen Hassmails. Diesmal, weil ich auf den US-Christdemokraten James #Talarico aus Texas & dessen jüdisch-christlichen Dialog mit Ezra Klein hinweise.

    Was werde ich also tun?

    Ich werde umso lieber & umso motivierter auf den US-Demokraten #JamesTalarico hinweisen! 🤓🙌

    Und hier der sehr sehenswerte, jüdisch-christliche Dialog des demokratischen Abgeordneten (& inzwischen auch Senatskandidaten) mit #EzraKlein ! Unbedingte Seh-Empfehlung. #USA #MAGA #Panik #Dialog #Christentum #Judentum #Demokratie youtu.be/sa6fiO2EgJ4

  11. Vielen Dank, @mattze 🙏 - diese Rückmeldung bedeutet mir viel!

    Denn ich habe leider fast täglich mit deutschsprachigen Mackern (& seltener auch Mackerinnen) zu tun, die nicht einmal die großen Kirchen der #USA benennen können, sich aber in ihren Vor-Urteilen sehr sicher sind.

    James #Talarico studierte Theologie auf einer Hochschule der US-Presbyterianer.

    Hier der m.E. hervorragende, jüdisch-christliche #Dialog zwischen #EzraKlein & #JamesTalarico vom Januar 2026 über die Fallstricke des christlichen Nationalismus / #Dualismus : youtube.com/watch?v=sa6fiO2EgJ4

  12. #Texas #Primaries too close to call

    Heads up:

    With certainty over the coming months you will hear from "leftist" accounts

    With all the easy signifiers, flags and symbols

    Speaking with great high holy outrage

    About some vile betrayal the winner, #Talarico or #Crockett, made against the left

    It's a #toxicIdealism #psyop

    They are right wingers cosplaying right here on #Mastodon

    Do not fall for it

    Show up in the general #election in November

    #VOTE!

  13. In today's Texas Senate primary election, Republicans are measuring the potency of Trump’s Make America Great Again movement against old-guard conservatism. Democrats, meanwhile, face a choice between two progressive “powerhouses” with different theories of how to fight – and how to win – in the Trump era.

    The fiercely competitive races have left Democrats unusually hopeful about their chances in a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat statewide since 1994, while Republicans fret they could lose a seat once viewed as safely red.
    Early voting has soared, particularly on the Democratic side, while political ad spending has surpassed $122m, according to data from AdImpact, making it the most expensive Senate primary on record.
    The vast majority of the money is being spent to help four-term incumbent John #Cornyn fend off a challenge from Ken #Paxton, the state’s scandal-plagued attorney general and a conservative culture warrior.
    Cornyn, 74, has emphasized his seniority and record, which he has defended as closely aligned with the president. By contrast, Paxton, 64, has presented himself as Maga’s vanguard in Texas, willing to battle both Democrats and Republicans.
    On the Democratic side, state representative James #Talarico has crisscrossed the deep-red counties that voted for Trump, preaching a “politics of love” that roots progressive policy in the teachings of his Christian faith. The 36-year-old former middle school teacher and current seminary student argues that the central divide in American politics is “not left v right” but “top v bottom” and says Democrats can rebuild trust in rural and suburban communities without abandoning their core values.
    He faces Congresswoman Jasmine #Crockett, a firebrand progressive whose unsparing attacks on Trump and Republicans have earned her a starring role in the resistance movement to his second term. Crockett, 44, entered the race in December, just before the filing deadline, embracing a different political playbook. Casting herself as a “proven fighter” who “drives the president crazy”, Crockett contends that high turnout among young voters and voters of color – not ideological moderation – is the key to winning statewide.

    The Democratic contest underlines a central debate that has animated the party since Trump’ s 2016 victory: whether they win by “doubling down” on their base and its fury with Trump’s presidency, or by courting independents and swing voters disenchanted with partisanship and the political status quo.
    Tuesday’s election will hardly be the final word, but as polls open in the nation’s second-largest state, Democrats will be monitoring the political currents closely, as they target Republican-held seats in other states, from Alaska to Maine.

  14. The March 3 Texas Senate primary race is testing Democrats’ stomach for internal fights over race and gender
    
The race will test whether Jasmine #Crockett’s promise of exciting core Democrats
    — and embrace of identity politics
    — is enough to edge out
    James #Talarico, whose appeal to independent and even moderate Republicans has some voters and strategists saying he may be a stronger general-election candidate.
    
Crockett, who’s built her reputation as a fighter taking aim at Donald Trump and other Republicans,
    said she is simply hitting back,
    even when the attacks come from within her own party.

    She’s leading Talarico in recent polls -- after starting the race much better known among Democrats than him.
    
Crockett and Talarico are both leaning into their large social media followings and are largely aligned on policy. The distinctions are mostly stylistic.
    
“No one really believes that I’m the type of person that takes punches lying down,” Crockett, 44, said in an interview,
    acknowledging that people have told her the primary is getting nasty.

    “And I’ve been getting punched pretty hard since before I even got into this race.”

Crockett’s message is resonating with the state’s Black voters, who are coming out in droves to support her.

    She’s vowed to transform the electorate in a state that Trump won by more than 13 percentage points
    — by exciting voters of color.

    But whether she can actually do so may come down to ⭐️Latino voters, a larger group whose political diversity means they may not show as much support.

“The group that’s up for grabs is the Latino vote,” said state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, a Democrat who represents a district in Bexar County.

    “The person who wins this race is the person who can bring that coalition together.”

    
Early voting data suggests sky-high Democratic enthusiasm,
    with tens of thousands more Democrats turning out to vote so far than Republicans,
    👉 who are involved in an even more bruising primary featuring Sen. John Cornyn, Attorney General Ken Paxton and Rep. Wesley Hunt, as of Feb. 25.
    
A recent University of Texas poll showed Crockett beating Talarico by roughly 75 percentage points among the state’s Black primary voters, who tend to turn out at high rates here.

    Talarico outperformed Crockett by 6 percentage points with White voters.

    Latinos, who early voter data suggest will be the second-largest voter group in the primary, were more evenly split between the two

  15. a little good news for democrats in #Texas #senate race

    i really hope we don't have a redo of the Hillary / Bernie rift that the fascist trolls managed to push into our politics to divide the left

    I personally like #Crockett, bc I 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 she's a fighter, whereas I hope #Talarico is. but i'd vote for either in the general, just as 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 decent💙person in TX needs to
