Friends if you are a Christian now is the time to speak out about Christian Nationalism. There are both a national organization and in Michigan you can join us as we start in person local groups. I'll link to both groups in the comments.

Trump: "The department of everything. We have a department of everything. You know what that is? I think that's called the White House. Into a terrible situation caused by a man named Sleepy Joe Biden. He used an autopen last year for the turkey's pardon."

Seriously this man and his speechwriters are not well.
Trump on the turkeys he's about to pardon: "I shouldn't say this. I was gonna call them Chuck and Nancy. But then I realized I wouldn't be pardoning them. I would never pardon those two people. I wouldn't pardon them. I wouldn't care what Melania told me."

What on earth is wrong with these people? (Obviously a rhetorical question)
Trump: "Instead of pardons, some of my more enthusiastic staffers were already drafting the paperwork to ship Gobble and Waddle straight to the Terrorist Confinement Center in El Salvador."

Tragic. Vaccines save lives- your and the people around you
3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers."
We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

I keep saying it, cruelty is the point. This is horrible
Biden granted mercy to most everyone on federal death row before leaving office. Trump retaliated by putting them in some of the harshest conditions of longterm isolation that American prisons can impose.

6 people have died from a nationwide listeria outbreak.
31 babies have been hospitalized with botulism from contaminated baby formula.
Instead of firing crucial FDA employees & attacking the agency, Trump should be hiring more experts to crack down on these dangerous outbreaks.

The Trump administration is abusing the military justice system to target its political opponents. A despicable new low for a group that strives everyday to find the moral bottom.

Players are roleplaying in Fortnite to teach each other their rights when encountering ICE officials
“I would slip [the warrant] under the door, but there’s no space under the door,” the agent says.
The civilian pauses. “Well. Sounds like a personal problem.”

Bankers and private equity wear suits while they rob us blind. Meanwhile volunteers to feed families this holiday season will be in sweatshirts and jeans.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

It occurs to me that this is how men,esp men in authority, talk to women. [Name the problem]it's your fault. If you just dressed up, be nicer, be helpful/ compliant, smile more....
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Idk stopping totalitarianism seems like a good thing to do
Bessent: "Ezra Klein took the mask off. He said, 'This wasn't about healthcare. This was about stopping totalitarianism.' Democrats haven't been able to stop President Trump in the courts, they haven't been able to stop him in the media. So they had to harm the American people."

It's hard to think of a gospel text about Jesus that supports our ideas about what a king ought to be. In fact, Jesus goes out of his way to not be called king. Take a look at any of the gospels and see how Jesus acts. He's not very king-like.
