It's NOT about Epstein. It about the children he and his associates victimized. The Epstein files are the way to get to find out who his accomplices are.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Attend if you can. Please be peaceful.

It's a call for an Emergency Protest. Chicago says: ICE, National Guard, off our streets! There's a banner that says No Trump. No troops. It's today Wednesday 10/8/2025 at 5:30 p.m. Ida B Wells and Michigan. The poster is from ProtestFinderUSA on Reddit. It has a picture of a crowd of people with different flags and various signs.

Is Christian nationalism compatible with democracy, or is that the whole point: to replace it? The piece argues it fuses religious identity with state power and crushes pluralism. React with “Yes/No/It’s complicated” and tell me why. Read:

No. The focus of Christianity is following Christ's message- not money, greed, war, cruelty or any if the other characteristics of the state.

Rarely if ever are the purposes or the missions of the true church and state aligned.

I do not want my church ruled by the state and vice versa.

We have all seen the violent attack on representative gov’t on Jan. 6. We see the violent attacks on our communities by masked thugs. We see the fascist grifters stealing our paid benefits.

We aren’t listening to BS from the fascists or corporate media. We KNOW the truth.
