Trump doesn't need to go to church now. He is FELON47

My hot take is that Jesus would most likely be ashamed of what is currently happening in America right now.

A religious leader asking mercy for marginalised communities? The absolute horror.

She attempted to appeal to Trump’s humanity knowing that if he responded negatively then he would demonstrate his lack of Christian virtues.

She showed that standing up bullies doesn’t have to be aggressive. it can be as simple as asking for them to show mercy. 🙏🏻

This is the same woman that came out in support of Israel following Oct. 7th. She promoted false claims of rape by Hamas.

👏 Brave woman. We all need to be brave, like her. Be active. Challenge authority. Stand up for justice. Speak out against harm, always. Refuse to be complicit, like her.
