What Would Jesus Do? Starve children to death? Do Republican “leaders” even read the teachings of the Christ they claim to worship? They need to read @johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s book so they’ll know how compassionate Americans will be talking to our maga loved ones this coming CHRISTmas Season.

The hypocrisies of the “Christian” Nationalist movement is historically predictable. These people believe we liberals don’t know that Jesus was actually…a liberal. We should all read The Separation of Church and Hate by John Fugelsang 2 help organize our questions when we talk to our maga loved ones

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social ‘s book talks about this hypocrisy specifically & many other issues too, where Republicans claim 2 worship Jesus but continually create policies that Jesus is no doubt flipping tables over. Everyone read it 2learn how 2ask your family,friends &neighbors important questions

Speaking of kings, have you heard about UNC-CH’s problems with the takeover there? For one, $10mil/yr hire for a football coach 🤑. A local paper published a story re it yesterday then the story was taken down the same day😠. I got screenshots of the story and will attach the link to show it’s gone 1)

I’ve raised 4 children & was most always a single, uninsured mom. NC expanded Medicaid 2 yrs ago so I finally have insurance for healthcare & screenings. Republican demons are ripping this away when every other major nation in the world gives EVERYONE public healthcare. Sending this postcard today:
