This government wants to turn the clock back to the 1700's when only wealthy white men had any rights.

Hey, Supposed Christians, Any city you live in should be a sanctuary city. The whole effin’ point of Jesus’ teachings was to love the poor, the sick, the hungry, the foreigner. You can’t celebrate or abide violence against the least of these and still try to claim you’re a Christian. Choose.

We all thought that America could not become a dictatorship in a short time. We all realize how wrong we were as we watch it happen before our eyes. And they call this a Christian nation and they do everything that the Bible condemned.

I am ashamed of you, Christians whom I worshipped alongside, ministered with, and cared for, who are willfully and unapologetically partnering with this wasteful violence against the Transgender community.

Evangelicals gave up everything of Christianity except the miracles and hatred of gays. In otherworldly they renounced everything that was fundamental to Christianity just as the GOP renounced everything from the Constitution except one part of the 2nd amendment.

When you are asking the court for permission to deport over a million people who entered the country legally and going into immigration court to deport people here obeying our laws to request asylum or finishing the steps to remain here as a citizen. Then you know it always was pure racism.

Then he arrived a decade ago: someone who gave them what they needed to finally abandon the performance completely: permission to be horrible; someone who erased any semblance of decorum, any expectation of decency, any level of accountability. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/this-presi...

Musk was pushed out not because of what he did. He was pushed out because he promised to cut over 2 trillion dollars in waste fraud and abuse and couldn't find even a 100 billion. And that wasn't fraud waste or abuse it was getting rid of those investigating fraud waste and abuse.

Republican Politicians who are so concerned about abortion are telling their constituents who are worried about losing health insurance that they are going to die sometime, so who cares.

CEO'S AND POLITICIANS and even JUDGES Have always been the world's greatest mass murderers but seldom ever go to prison for it unless they lose a war. A single vote, executive order or CEO action often kills thousands and sometimes millions. This administration will be one of the worst ever.

Trump trust us. If we get rid of regulations, you won't have to worry about bridges and buildings collapsing, planes, and trains crashing, your food or medicines being deadly or full of ground up vermin. Just trust us. Just don't read those history and science books.

Trump is not deporting illegal immigrants as most of them have cases before immigration courts and entered this country legally through different programs such as requests for asylum. Millions came into the country through other programs under different presidents after wars and disasters.

Not a single DOGE cut was codified into law. Not a single fraud charge has been filed. The cuts that were made were done through illegal executive orders. Most will likely be overturned. DOGE WAS THE FRAUD

You know people are real Christians when they hate people who are born Gay, or transgender but love those who rape and sexually assault others. When they love rapists but hate women who choose not to have the rapists child and have to allow that rapist access to their children.

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

When our country was founded only people who owned a certain value of property could vote. The Constitution took that right away from women and only allowed white men to vote. And the Senators were selected by Representatives. Women were chattels of their fathers and husband's to treat as they wish

Prison for miscarriages. A woman miscarried in a fast food restaurant. She was arrested, her bail set at $100,000, which she didn’t have so they let her rot in jail for five months, while they determined that she did indeed have a miscarriage and didn’t do anything to cause it.

When Republicans state that their cuts will only affect people who were never supposed to have Medicaid. They mean that. They never believed anyone should ever have Medicaid or Medicare or Social Security.

If every American followed Trump's example and beliefs that veterans were all "suckers and losers," we would have lost every war we ever fought, and America would not exist today.

Go read Luke's version of the Beatitudes. They will never post it anywhere or even preach it from their pulpits. They post the Ten Commandments, then elect politicians and follow clergy who openly violate all of them.

This administration seems unmoved by art. There is no Shakespeare in their language, no Baldwin in their conscience, no Springsteen on their radios, no Swift in their playlists. And when leaders feel nothing for beauty, it’s the soul of a nation that suffers.

economist Dani Rodrik: “Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.” #econsky

Secularism isn’t what’s driving people away from Christianity. What’s driving people away from Christianity are those who claim to follow Jesus, but completely ignore his teachings and use his name instead to amass wealth and political power.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

This is absolutely incredible -- Kristi Noem repeatedly refuses to acknowledge that Trump brandished an doctored image of Abrego Garcia's tattoos, prompting Eric Swalwell to have a staffer of his brandish an image of them right in her face. Totally dystopian.

Just stating that you believe in the miracles of the Bible, being against abortion and homosexuality and saying you believe in God doesn't make you a Christian. Following the Sermon on the Mount and Matthew 25 and treating and loving everyone as if they were God is what makes you a Christian.

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!
