Help me understand. The government that is demanding Venezuela give back “oil and land” to the US warning the EU to not use seize Russian funds to rebuild a society the Russians attempted to destroy?
This is treason. You can’t have an American President openly supporting Putin who’s attacking a US ally. The US taxpayer and congress has approved arms and funding for Ukraine.
It’s the end of Trump. Congress isn’t going to support him. @aoc.bsky.social @markhertling.bsky.social

Scripture says you can’t love God and hate other people.
You can’t love God and abuse the immigrant.
You can’t love God and bully the outcast.
You can’t love God and oppress the poor.
In the face of a neighbor, we glimpse the face of God.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Just sent out my free weekend update. Though the reporting this week made it crystal clear that the Trump administration is with Putin, that was not a bad thing for Ukraine. Accepting the truth is the first step to recovery-and the truth cannot now be denied. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc
The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands
The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

And let's name names. #ElonMusk #MarcoRubio #RussellVought and #DonaldTrump (with help from #JohnRoberts). This is premeditated murder--of children. You can spin it anyway you like but you cannot escape this fact.

The elimination of USAID is a moral atrocity and all involved made a choice to enable, and then lie about, ending the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Questions for Christian supporters of MAGA: Which nation did the prophets condemn for doing too much for the poor and the foreigner? Which nation did the prophets condemn for having too large of a social safety net? Why does Ezekiel say that Sodom and Gomorrah went up in smoke?

USAID saved lives. It made people’s lives better. It presented the best face of this country to friends and adversaries alike.
We will be atoning for this for years.

In Eswatini, hospitals go dark. Mothers are sent home to die. The US walked out. Not quietly. Just efficiently. What happens when the dream of care becomes an abandoned promise? The numbers are real. So are the bodies. No one is coming. Not unless we say something.
What the closure of USAID is really costing the world
The abrupt withdrawal of American funding has stranded millions of patients and will be felt by countries for years to come

This is what happens when Christianity is co-opted by empire. A government that boasts about chains is a government that has lost its soul. And a church that remains silent has lost its witness.

Jimmy Carter didn’t sell Bibles with his name on them, claim to be God’s appointed leader, or promise to make Christianity great again.
He lived out his faith through love and service by pursuing peace worldwide, teaching Sunday school, and building 4,447 homes with Habitat for Humanity.

Growing up, Jimmy Carter was treated like a joke, but as the years passed, it became clearer and clearer that the joke was on everyone who saw his kindness as weakness and not the incredible strength it was.
