It was never called emishing, for a reason!

Why would they clash? Christian nationalism believes in the prosperity gospel, wherein the rich are rich because they are personally blessed by God.

I just interviewed someone who put as her reason for leaving a job in 2017, "company folded." I was sure surprised to hear it since that same company hired me at the exact same location she worked at in 2018, and I worked with them until February of last year.

What state crime would be relevant to espionage and takeover of critical federal government functions? Especially as the crime is taking place in Washington DC, not in any state?

He could freeze more than SS payments, he could freeze the paychecks for Congress and the Supreme Court. He's already stopping payment to certain federal contractors he has unilaterally deemed illegitimate.

The author did not learn anything, not speak to their future self. The author read a made-up story with themself as the main character. That's all. AI is not magic. It's not even really AI.

Could be bad-actors reporting it to sow confusion and divide the community. Alternatively, could be automated and keying off the word trans coupled with the phrase "not a woman".

Trump and his Secretary of Defense nominee have proposed purging military officers they view as too "woke."
A Heritage funded group is proposing names: offers who served on a DEI panel, or written about race, or sought to recruit at a historically Black college.
apnews.com/article/hegs...

Another female Air Force officer was on the list because she “served as a panelist for a diversity, equity and inclusion” discussion in 2021.

An Air Force colonel, who is white, was called out for an opinion piece he wrote following the death of George Floyd, saying, “Dear white colonel, we must address our blind spots about race.”

A female Air Force officer was targeted because of “multiple woke posts” on her X feed, including a tweet about LGBTQ rights, one about “whiteness” and another about honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a stamp.

The list names an Army officer who traveled to 14 historically Black colleges to expand the military’s intelligence recruitment efforts, and an Air Force officer partly because he co-chairs the Asian-Pacific Islander subgroup of the service’s diversity task force.

Amazing hot take that seems to be borrowing from NRA rhetoric, claiming that the answer to Christian Nationalism is more Christianity. Direct parallel to gun violence being solved by more guns.

An increase in the secularization of society does not minimize religious and political tensions; instead it contributes to the growth of political extremism, xenophobia and anti-democratic values, say...

The Trump campaign is signaling that it intends to make the U.S. a "Christian nation." Here's what that idea looked like in history.

Elon Musk is a distraction. The goal is not to eliminate federal jobs, but replace them with what the head of Project 2025 called an "army" of Christian nationalists.

Pete Hegseth and Pam Bondi are the most prominent examples. But the plan is extensive.
