Christianity is crystal clear: “Which is the greatest commandment? Love the Lord your God. And the second is like it- love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
And also defines neighbor- “the one who had mercy”

Hi @mattyglesias.bsky.social @daralind.bsky.social – really alarmed by mainstreaming of legally fringe “invasion” theory on this pod. It's rooted in white supremacist "great replacement" conspiracy theory
"Invasion" rejected by courts, & rhetoric has fueled violence inc 2019 El Paso shooting. 🧵:
