@DrMary Welcome to Mastodon. :-)
While I've had this account for some time, I'm really new to using Mastodon. I'd love to connect with fellow United Methodists here on this network. #BeUMC I'd also love to connect with folks who are part of #RMN and #MFSA
I found this on NewsBreak: Biden, holding out for Supreme Court, offers another student loan payment pause extension https://share.newsbreak.com/2cyi7oml
Biden, holding out for Supreme Court, offers another student loan payment pause extension - NewsBreak

The payment pause began under former President Donald Trump during the pandemic. Biden said in August it wouldn't be extended past Dec. 31, 2022.

Make no mistake: our democracy remains in peril.

The majority of Republicans in the GOP-controlled House are election deniers.

And Moore v Harper, which is headed to the Supreme Court next month, could let extremist state legislatures pick the next president without you.

"Gay bars, lesbian bars, queer bars -- these don't simply exist for social entertainment, although that purpose is quite cherished. Their primary and most important component is serving as an oasis of personal dignity and safety."

I am struggling today contemplating the hatred and violence against LGBTQ people at Club Q this week. Our nation has a dangerous illness. It isn’t Covid this time. It is hate. Every sermon preached against LGBTQ people, every anti-gay political speech or law, embolden evil people to violence and more hate. I am praying for our nation to repent. Rend your hearts not your garments.

One of the most beautiful things is watching someone you mentor thrive and excel.

Folks in #leadership, it is not a threat to you when someone learning from you surpasses what you can do. The world is big enough and the tent is wide enough for their gifts and for yours. Celebrate the gifts of others!

Giving Mastodon a try again after dropping out of Twitter. I won’t be a part of Elon’s disaster.
Just found desktop client #whalebird for mastodon. Very cool!
