Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down

Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

So #Lutheran Bishop scolds the authority and the authority stops all payments to Lutheran charities, calling it illegal and this is not bothering American #Christians and #Evangelicals? Will we see Sen. Josh Hawley outraged? #doge #maga

Guy tried to overthrow the government, committed a bunch of crimes, we didn’t do anything about it, he became president again, and suddenly everyone is shocked how he’s just flagrantly tearing down our basic institutions? He literally tried to overthrow the government!

Today I posted on my #Georgian TikTok video, which was a digest of news of what has transpired in the USA over the past 5 days.

the reason: 3 minutes were exceeding limit. I have 10 minutes limits on TikTok.

News about this administration is being censored globally! #trump #censorship #media

Appeal denied by Georgian Tiktok moderators

Reason to mute my video - sound exceeds limit.
