It is so sad that "Christian" is associated with very NON-Christian behaviors. Obviously they never ask themselves What Would Jesus Do.
They are Christo-Fascists or Evangelibans.

Meiselas: One of those headlines I had to reread. We’re not allowing the president of Taiwan into the U.S.? Our ally? Trump caved to China’s demand and blocked him. MAGA screamed Dems were weak on China—then did exactly what they fear-mongered about.

I don’t want to say I immediately had a visceral reaction when I saw the DHS post but … yeah… I did …

Right on cue with the fascism.

Phang: We have to pump the brakes here—because for someone like Ghislaine Maxwell, who’s already gone to court, professed her innocence, and claimed she had nothing to do with it—what value could she possibly offer now?

Let’s not be naive. Donald Trump quite literally holds the keys to her freedom

Both sides agreed an “unconditional” ceasefire would start at midnight on Monday to end battling over a smattering of ancient temples in disputed zones along their 800km (500-mile) border.

‘Praying for it to end’: Vermont superintendent speaks out after ICE interrogation
YouTube video by MSNBC ‘Praying for it to end’: Vermont superintendent speaks out after ICE interrogation

“I told them I was an American citizen. I questioned why they were using those tactics on me. I asked about my constitutional rights. An officer outright said out loud that I have no constitutional rights at a point of entry,” says Wilmer Chavarria, a school superintendent in Vermont.

I have watched a few formerly left-leaning folks fall into a hole of propaganda over Gaza, Columbia's bribe payoff, and even Epstein and whew it is so upsetting to watch.

Anyone can fall prey to propaganda, but if you are reposting administration talking points as truth, that's a HUGE warning bell.

Judge throws out Trump’s lawsuit against Illinois over sanctuary policies The case is just one in a series of lawsuits DOJ has filed against blue states and cities.

A judge has thrown out the Trump admin’s bid to force Illinois and Chicago to aid its mass deportation agenda, saying it would encroach on autonomy guaranteed to states under the Constitution.

Boooooo!!!! We stink as a country right now. FIFA is moving the matches to Canada as the US cannot guarantee visas or that people win’t be detained. Even Germany did better with Olympics in 1936. For shame!

“May the light guide us to freedom, justice, and equality for all.”
That was Mamdani’s Hanukkah post in 2023. He often posts greetings for most major religious holidays—but only in his messages to Jews does he pair them with progressive political refrains. His Passover message in 2020 struck a similar note, ending with the activist slogan “until all of us are free.”

A few days earlier, he celebrated an endorsement from The Jewish Vote—a group affiliated with Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, which later described the October 7 massacre by Hamas as “neither justifiable nor unprovoked.” At the time, Mamdani used the endorsement to affirm his opposition to antisemitism—but only while also condemning Islamophobia and condoning the struggle for “collective liberation.” When he has posted about Muslim holidays or his visits to various mosques, no such equivocation appears.

This is some of the weakest shit I've ever seen. Why is it a scandal that he "affirmed his opposition to antisemitism—but only while also condemning Islamophobia"?
