Donald Trump is terrified that Portlandβs commitment to democracy, diversity and the common good will ultimately defeat the MAGA movement. Heβs right.
#Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump.

Those who practice white Christian nationalism should receive no honors, no accolades, only condemnation.

The United States should recognize a demilitarized Palestinian state alongside a secure Israel. Now.

Hereβs what is happening: the government is trying to silence opponents of the white Christian nationalism that #CharlieKirk embodied. There has never been a time more important to be outspoken against white Christian nationalism, a false Gospel rooted in white supremacy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMJMgSCL/

Kilmeade wants βinvoluntarily lethal injectionsβ for those on our streets, including veterans, and his co-host, Lawrence Jones, wants people experiencing homelessness to be locked away in prison camps. No apology will do. Kilmeade (and Jones) should be fired, and FOX News should condemn their Nazi-like solutions to the problem of homelessness.
FOX News must fire Brian Kilmeade.
Last week, on-air, FOX News host Brian Kilmeade called for the mass extermination of people suffering from homelessness and addiction. βJust kill βem,β he said.
Why are Trump and other MAGA politicians so obsessed with #Portland? He knows Portlanders will never bend the knee.
Portland will not just surrender, Mr. Trump.

Reminder: Sen. Mike Leeβs Twitter posts following the murder of a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband were so offensive it set off debate at the global headquarters of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Leeβs tradition) and he eventually took them down. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Update: I am saddened that gun violence in the United States has taken another life. My prayers are with Charlie Kirkβs family, and with all those working to end gun violence.

I am praying for Charlie Kirk, as Jesus taught us to pray for our enemies. My prayer is for his health, & that God use this moment to soften all our hearts.

Has a more idolatrous statement ever been made?
Too many worship Donald Trump, replacing Jesus, the Prince of Peace, with Trumpβ¦
Follow Jesus. Reject Trump.
Whenever I hear Donald Trump or a MAGA acolyte like Marjorie Taylor Greene claim that #God is on their side, I am reminded of what President Abraham Lincoln once said:
"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right."
Amen!
In Alaska, Donald Trump failed the cause of freedom and democracy. πΊπΈπΊπ¦
