Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II@RevDrBarber
Trump needs to understand for him to say he wants the economy back open on Eastera day that remembers Jesus who challenged oppression & cared for the poorwhile he has fought against the poor, against health care, etc. is hypocrisy.
Instead, Mr. President, what Jesus didcare for the poor, the sick, the homeless, children, immigrants, low wage workersthis is the Easter and resurrection America needs.

Their deity is named GDP and it requires human sacrifice, as we learned today.

evangelists would understand that, but alas, I think they "cherry pick" the Bible as well. Rev. Dr. Barber is a Christian.

are pushing Easter Sunday as (t)he resurrection of something . . and it ain't Jesus Christ.

But I think I have far more in common with Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II than with Trump. Easter is a spring metaphor about focusing gon the rebirth and regift of life - not about crass money-making.
