One of the sub-stories of this era is the conflict under Trump & Vance between Christian nationalism and more liberal/moderate Christian denominations, including the UCC & yes, the Roman Catholic Church.

"Federal agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor of the College Heights United Church of Christ. The impact caked his face in orange powder...

“I’m in a lot of pain,” the pastor texted from the emergency room, “He clearly was aiming for the face.”

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

Jamie Dimon really thinks Congress and the American people will believe that only one top exec at his multi-billion dollar bank enabled Epstein. Be serious. Today I’m giving Dimon and JPMC another chance to explain why they appeared to enable Epstein's trafficking for years.

If you’re planning to protest tomorrow:

1. Thank you! Make it big. Stay peaceful.

2. Be careful. There will be people trying to agitate and stir shit up.

3. Take a buddy if you can. If not, video is your friend.

4. Have a plan to get the fuck out if it goes sideways.

Do not fall for secessionist propaganda or “Texas is invading Illinois”! Pay attention to who is saying this, who is screwing you over, and what their end goal is.

quote from book THEY KNEW about grim realities of secession in the US, written in 2021, published in 2022, applicable to now

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

The August jobs report showed a net loss of private sector jobs meaning government jobs were propping up the numbers. Trump is so stupid he is going to cut government jobs which will accelerate job losses. It's not Joe Biden, it's him. Crap always happens under him.

ICE agents drag children out of bed, ransack Chicago building

“Dozens of federal agents raiding an entire apartment building with kids in it just to see what they can find. It’s the most egregious abuse of our basic rights as Americans I've seen in a long time, maybe in my lifetime,” Chris Hayes

NEVER FORGET: Trump’s military parade in June COST an estimated $92M. NOW the Quantico event logistics of transporting, housing, & securing HUNDREDS of officers & support staff IS WASTE (& SECURITY RISK), ESPECIALLY when defense budgets are ALREADY strained (& Trump wants to STOP Trans Healthcare).🔥
