Musk & his team have no rights to access sensitive information. It is time for him to be charged with crimes & made to stop interfering with areas he has no right to access.
I do not want this man-baby or his team having access to my confidential information. Many others feel the same way.
where I come from they mostly run retirement homes; that may be a foreign concept to you but here in the US we don't guarantee housing or care to seniors so we rely on charities like LSS
It sound a bit like here in the UK where the Salvation Army (far more benign than it sounds!) which is an organised Christian religious group. runs the scheme to support survivors of Trafficking & Modern Slavery on behalf of the government
Yeah there are two in my town here literally called Luther Towers and Luther Village. It was where my grandfather lived for a time before he passed away.
well yes, "[challenging] systemic injustices faced by those who are oppressed, forgotten, and hurting by providing responsive solutions, advocacy, and hope" is directly antithetical to the teachings of Christ, if I understand my evangelical pastor correctly.
tbh it is difficult to imagine how much Flynn, Musk, Trump et al must be hurting to *want* to do what they are doing at the moment
No content person would be doing this
It is insane to see what is happening and how quickly it is being accepted
I think Jesus likes it when you punch the disabled? I'm hazy. My church is mostly about putting money in a box. The audio for sermons isn't great and it's hard to hear over the sound of the money being changed.
Why wouldn't he?
I've not been to church for a while but i am sure I remember a passage about
"Punch thy neighbour"
Also
"Love thy dollar as you love thyself"
Yeah that was way faster than expected. I probably need to stop using Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany as a way to predict the speed of this takeover.
Definitely LCMS. And you're probably right about not caring. Even if the care is there, hea down the Fox News/Tucker Carlson hole, so he probably won't see it or believe it if he did.
While I loved the folks in the LCMS church I married into when I was young after growing up in the SBC, there were definitely *political* similarities to what I grew up with. That was 20 years ago and I'm sure it's only gotten worse.
Start the messaging!
Trump defunds Christianity.
Trump attacks Christians.
Trump steals from Christian seniors.
Trump defunds Christian charities.
Trump takes aim at foster children.
etc. etc. etc.
Catholic JD Vance loves saying how the Catholic Social Services is ‘in it for the money.’ ‘I mean, otherwise, why would they be helping people?’ says the Catholic-knower and devotee of Jesus.
Lutheran family services tend to offer counseling for mental health and substance abuse. Sometimes they and other religiously affiliates are the only agencies in the neighborhood.
Both also do a tremendous amount of work for the poor and foster care /adoption services. Seems like if you are going to force women to have babies, these services will be needed.
This is probably the organization that resettled the Hmong refugees in MN...which gave us Sunni Lee, Olympic gymnastics gold and silver medalist and all around amazing person.
It’s a health system operating health clinics, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. They are organized as not for profit organizations. The Catholic Church and pretty much every major denomination does the same thing. Wonder when they’re gonna look for profit health systems?
Musk and his teenage hacker goons came across "Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Services" and that did it. They provide aid to 6,000 resettled refugees in U.S.
LFS is a govt contractor to provide basic services that are not religious at all, such as Head Start and Meals on Wheels. The federal government needs agencies like LFS to do the work or it won't get done.
I’m sure the next God’s Not Dead movie will feature a nice liberal girl from Minnesota who takes her case for funding Lutheran Services of Minnesota all the way to SCOTUS.
Lutherans are the dominant denomination in the woke, far-left Marxist states of... North and South Dakota.
Other than just arbitrarily nodding like a bobble-head with anything any random Trump-affiliated loony says, I have no idea why Musk would target them.
Please reconsider misgendering as an insult. It is sexist -- suggesting there is something "lesser" about being a girl -- and harms efforts for fairness and equality.
We used to call it 'catholic-lite'... I was a Methodist UNTIL I began studying for the ministry & got an inside peek at the politics of 'church'... then came the evangelical support for #TFG, and then: I became an agnostic - tooooooo many evils allowed in organized 'religion' these days -
... 'faith' in one's self is challenged by these monsters - even tho 1John 3:15 was instilled in me at a young age when I casually used the word 'hate' in front of our Pastor (incredibly petite elderly woman), I find my feelings toward 'those' people (well, all GOP these days) goes way beyond ABHOR
This appears to be grants from HHS, likely for US Refugee Admission Program. Flynn's post is riddled with Replacement Theory dog whistles. The justification we're likely to see for this will be Trump's EO. This is a continuation of their attack on non-white immigration.
Religious organizations are the largest group of charities that administer this sort of aid, with Global Refuge ( formerly Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service) being a key partner. Interestingly the list of NGO resettlement partners has been scrubbed from the HHS website.

Is this what they are objecting to? https://www.lutheranmetro.org/who-we-are/about-us/
Almost what you might think of as the underlying principles of Christianity

A lot of the social aid is ELCA, so he may not care if so 🫤

The kids who get the vouchers for private religious schools don't NEED them—their parents managed to afford tuition before vouchers.
But helping people who actually NEED help is not the way of the MAGA!
Mike Flynn has been convicted of being a foreign government’s asset. Where is he getting this information?

Didn't Treasury give us an empty promise moments ago that they were making sure no information was exposed outside Treasury?
I know our armed services are desperate sometimes to fill their ranks, but Christ on a frickin' crutch, I didn't think we were THAT bad off.
They would say we are one rung above Catholics and on our way to hell.
Gundersen Lutheran hasn't been a religious hospital in decades.
Evil AND inept!
