Speaking as a progressive pastor myself (who's historically been VERY skeptical about the sway of any "Christian left") this is excellent.
Ongoing opposition to ICE here is overwhelmingly religious. I'm seeing churchgoers who've never done anything "political" look for a way to get involved.

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

BREAKING: Trump says he 'didn't make a mistake' with his racist video post.
Q: "A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that post. Is that something you're going to do?"
Trump: "No, I didn't make a mistake."
He adds later: "I guess it was a take off on the Lion King."

There was a point in Trump’s first term where major media stopped playing along. The pandemic was the red line. After that, headlines tended to be direct and skeptical. Today’s racist video headlines have been similarly blunt. What the red line?

The White House initially defended Trump's post, saying it was "from an internet meme video." But after backlash — including from Republicans — it was removed.

This is really great, and speaks to my experience as a weekly church-goer who is Not Having This Shit.
There is, quite literally, a rebellion bubbling up from below in the name of God. The regime knows its potential. It knows it can inspire even more resistance. And it’s taking steps to crush it.

“A more accurate framing would be devout Christians versus devout Christians, with one side objecting to David Easterwood preaching “love thy neighbor” and “snatch thy neighbor” in the same breath, while the other uses the Gospels to defend ICE.”

Some religious views should not be more equal than others.
The mainstream media constantly forward right-wing religious groups' victim fantasies, while playing down serious infractions against religious opponents of Trump.

Trump's attempt to crush a religious uprising might be obvious if the press corps treated everyone’s faith as equally authentic, hence equally legitimate. It doesn’t.

“Mike Johnson is a very religious person,” the president went on to say. “He does not hide it. He'll say to me sometimes at lunch, 'Sir, may we pray?' I'll say, 'Excuse me? We're having lunch.'"

Asked on AF1 if he’s going to fire the staffer who allegedly posted the Obamas video, Trump says: “No, I looked at it. I saw it, and I just looked at the first part.” He says he “didn’t see” that part. Will he apologize? “No, I didn't make a mistake.”

No. I want the leaders to be better; to fight more.

The AP, CNN, the Daily News, Reuters and others used racist to describe Trump’s video. Would that have happened before Good and Pretti were murdered? I’m not sure.
