"✊ Good Revolutionary Friday ✊

Jesus was executed by the Roman state not because he preached kindness and love in the abstract, but because he embodied a radical threat to the status quo. He overturned tables in the temple—an act of direct action against economic injustice. He called out religious leaders for siding with power. He preached good news to the poor, liberation to the captives, and gave hope to the masses living under occupation.

He walked with the people, fed them, healed them, and lifted up the lowly. He was dangerous for his love.

Good Friday reminds us that empire always responds to liberation movements with violence. The cross was not just a symbol of suffering—it was the electric chair, the lynching tree, the drone strike in Gaza. It was a tool of state terror used to silence dissent.

@jmychal90 I love this take! But then the cross becomes less of a symbol of jesus christ and more of a symbol of opposition to power.
