It is essential for all to hear and consider this when thinking about joining the Resistance. I think we should heed these viewpoints from our German allies and friends. Especially if we are followers of Christ and hold the belief in Matthew 25.

You have to hear this… and ask the question is Trump following the agenda of the most evil government produced in Europe?
Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Please pray for the 7 SCOTUS Justices who voted to stop Trump because as U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said this week that “We are all afraid,…because [Trump] retaliation is real.” Thank you Justices for being brave and doing the right thing. #SCOTUS #Justice
Obviously, a huge victory for the migrants here and a major defeat for Trump’s lawless effort to rush out a rendition flight before the courts could act.

But also—potentially a massive signal from the Supreme Court that it is finally prepared to go toe to toe with Trump to halt AEA deportations.
BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court.

Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.
