“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”

overjoyed to know that JD Vance will continue to feel — constantly, simmering just below the surface — just a little bit nervous that he’s going to spend eternity in hell
Months before Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost became the first American pope, he expressed criticism of Vice President JD Vance on social media, sharing an article that called the vice president’s interpretation of Christian doctrine “wrong.”

Yes the Dems are bad at social. But this isn't designed like this (long illegible list) on accident. Its goal isn't actually to lay out their actions. It's a clapback to those saying they're not doing enough. Dems as usual care more about scolding their base for asking questions than answering them.
