Like dude trust me, I want for us to find common ground, but I can not find common ground, when the common ground means equating people dying, to a “necessary evil”

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

“the constitution forbids race conscious remedies” would be news to the people who wrote the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments

Griem goes there, arguing in response to Justice Jackson that there can be no race-conscious remedy absent a finding of intentional discrimination.

15🧵accusations today are one more part of their plan to takeover the U.S.

That is why we march and protest.

14🧵Look at how their catering to the likes of Elon Musk, Peter Thiel has led to this moment, a torn America on the very edge of a tipping point to a fascist dictatorship. All the actions Republicans have done for the last few decades have brought us to here. And Mike Johnson’s lies,

13🧵They hate the America that came after the Civil Rights Act & Women’s rights.

What they love is anti-thesis to the ideals of America: They love power & money.

They love big business over the American people. By catering to big business, they become wealthy & powerful.

12🧵the constitution.

They hate the America that came after the Civil War. They hate the America that gave women, POC, & others the right to vote. They hate the America that established social programs to help fellow citizens like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, VA benefits, SNAP.

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

11🧵The list how everyday Trump, his administration, Mike Johnson, Republican Congress/Senate show they hate America can go on & on.

They hate America that is the image of the founding fathers. They hate the America that the Revolutionary War was fought for & that brought about our democracy via

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

10🧵what they are doing to our democracy & country. So, they lie & say protestors belong to Antifa although there is no Antifa group. Antifa stands for what democratic America is built on—antifascism. Antifascism is democracy. So, now they lie & say protestors are haters, Hamas supporters, Marxists.

9🧵thwart it. Most recently keeping the government shutdown so they don’t have to swear in Arizona Democrat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva who won her seat on Sept 23. Because once she’s sworn in there is enough votes to move Epstein Files forward.

They hate Americans who are fed up with

8🧵Medicaid. As mentioned above, they don’t want the poor to have a living wage (different minimum wage).

They hate law enforcement, police. That is why they pardoned the Jan 6th domestic terrorists. But, they love to use them for their benefit.

They hate democracy & regularly do what they can to

7🧵affecting veterans’ medical resources & their heath. They support & adore a man (Trump) who called veterans losers & didn’t want any disabled vet in pictures with him.

They hate the poor, esp. Taking away or reducing programs that feed poor school children. They want to reduce or eliminate

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

6🧵They support & are covering for a man (Trump) who regularly hung out with a man who sexually abused young teens by not releasing the Epstein Files & transferring a convicted sex trafficker, Maxwell, to a cushy “prison.”

They hate veterans. They laid off a large swath of the staff at the VA,

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

5🧵etc by conspiracy theories. They want children to die from preventable disease by withholding, confusing, lying about vaccines. They took away grant money from child cancer research, laid off cancer researchers. They won’t pass common sense gun laws to protect school children.

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

4🧵knowing prices would increase, & it would affect Americans, esp those at the lower economic end & would hurt small businesses. They also don’t want Americans to have affordable healthcare.

They hate American children. They install a man who knows nothing about medicine & guides the CDC,

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

3/🧵Commandments or require prayer in schools. Or the over turning of Roe v Wade.

They hate average Americans. So, they repeatedly give the rich tax breaks while there is still no living wage & federal minimum wage has not increased in decades. That is why they implemented tariffs

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

2/🧵That is also why they revered/honored Charlie Kirk with flags flown at half mast and had a memorial service.

They hate diverse religious/ religious free America. That is why they are shoving Christian values down the throat of all Americans like when schools have to post the Ten

Ande @andekar.bsky.social · 50m

1/🧵You know who hates America? Mike Johnson, Trump, & the rest of Republicans. Period.

They hate a diverse America. So, they attack immigrants, LGBTQ, POC through actions like siccing ICE on innocent people, like making laws against LGBTQ, like firing POC in high positions in govt.

What a fucker. What doesn’t he get about “NO Kings” that he warps/twists/knots Saturday’s protest into “Hate America/Hamas supporters/Marxists“?

Reality: Johnson hates US wants Trump king/dictator.

I’ll be at the protest: love America, not Hamas supporter or Marxist. He’s scared.

Eat shit, Mike.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, a noted Bible enthusiast, says ICE shooting a praying pastor with pepper balls is just fine. Is there a new version of the Bible that I missed?
