Correct. As a private citizen, Trump met with Bibi and they decided it would be a win for the Harris campaign to accept Biden’s peace deal so they prolonged the war. Should be everywhere, much like the bipartisan immigration bill that Trump killed.

It should be one of our top priorities to pass legislation that requires mandatory, fact-checked debates using video and audio and donor data from candidates moving forward.

Whoever won’t vote on it, message against them by saying they don’t want to be blocked from lying to the people.

Sensitivity is usually your emotional body (solar plexus) being highly attuned to what is aligned with you before your mind catches up. It’s a human superpower. 🫶🏽

Certainly. I would love for just one journalist in the press room to ask why anyone should trust an administration that lied about its affiliation with a Christofascist agenda as is Project 2025 before then hiring many of the affiliated staff and enacting 60% of their agenda so far.

The sooner we all begin to accurately call this cult's MO what it is which is Christofascism, we can more easily recognize the institutional religious history and tradition of exploiting and abusing women and children while men wield power.

It is why evangelicals are the perfect base for MAGA.

Christofascism.

Alyssa Shanahan @earthtoalyssa.bsky.social · 1d

It’s Christofascism using the criminality of Trump to usher in their power grab. Johnson is a cult member and we need to start naming this correctly. Just as it is in religious indoctrination, their faction will protect men and harm women and children for their own gain.

Alyssa Shanahan @earthtoalyssa.bsky.social · 1d

We have to start calling it Christofascism.

Alyssa Shanahan @earthtoalyssa.bsky.social · 1d

They do not care about people. It is about power at all cost.

Alyssa Shanahan @earthtoalyssa.bsky.social · 1d

Another day waking up to a country in the midst of a Christofascist takeover. People are either unaware, resisting, or complacent.

My monthly reminder that we exist here, with no rules except the ones we agree to accept. We do not need to wait for an arbitrary time to change everything.

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

You know what?

When the United States actually takes care of a of the people within its borders, I'll consider being respectful or grateful to this country. But for now, what I see is a country founded on multiple genocides doing its level best to either deny those genocides ever happened,

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

You know what fascism looks like? Attorney General Letitia James getting criminally indicted on literal trumped-up charges by the criminal who she fought to hold accountable for the actual crimes he committed and is now using the full power of the US govt to seek vengeance.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect
