If your Christianity is indistinguishable from your political ideology & nationalism, you’re a Christian Nationalist, full stop. CN is a bankrupt, & idolatrous ideology that needs a strong man to create mechanisms to eradicate opposition to it b/c its foundation is fragile. CN will undoubtedly fall.

1/4 “Historians have a word for Germans who joined the Nazi party, not because they hated Jews, but out of a hope for restored patriotism, or a sense of economic anxiety, or a hope to preserve their religious values, or dislike of their opponents, or raw political opportunism, or convenience, or…

1/2 During my 20 yrs of military svc, there were times I was disappointed in us & our decisions as a country. But, at least we had an American ethic of standing up to global bullies (sometimes it could be argued we were the bully).

The fact that MAGA supporters are doubling down on defending Musk’s not-see salute, and he’s not even the object of their political affection, is bananas to me. They’ve reached a new low.

Dear Christian, The Right Rev. Mariann Budde’s plea to the president to “have mercy” for the other, is the most Christlike act I can imagine. The president calling her “so-called Bishop” and a “Radical Left hard line Trump hater” is the least Christlike thing I can imagine. We choose this day…

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

My grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy, risking everything to wipe Nazis off the face of the Earth. Now this administration brings Nazis into our nation’s capitol spitting on the sacrifices of everyone who fought for and bled for this country.

If you’re LEO who supports a felon who pardons other felons who attacked law enforcement, you should be ashamed of yourself. If you’re a veteran, who supports a felon who pardons traitors who attacked democracy, you should be ashamed of yourself.
