Stephen Miller tried to claim only real "Americans" built the Empire State Building, but he left out the true stories of the Indigenous ironworkers who actually did. The Mohawk Skywalkers helped shape America's skylines—and shatter the lie behind Miller’s whitewashed nostalgia.

Imagine cheering on people in power who are actively targeting and harming the hungry, the poor, the sick, the elderly, the veteran, the disabled, the different, and the stranger and still somehow expecting people to believe you follow Jesus.

I’m convinced that there isn’t any response quite as evil as saying to a suffering person “Everything happens for a reason“ or “It’s all in God’s plan.”
Especially when their suffering is being caused by a reality that you voted for.

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks.
“I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare.
“I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status.

When we Christians interpret the Bible with an unforgiving literalism towards our fellow citizens, yet interpret it with graciousness towards our preferred politicians, that’s when we can be certain we are just using it to leverage our own power and privilege rather than to actually love others.

If our Christianity causes us to get more angry at the idea of a poor person possibly “abusing the system” than we do about the most powerful and wealthy people in our country creating a system that crushes the poor and makes it impossible to get by, we need a grand reversal.

They’ll blame the bill itself — but King Elon told House Republicans not to fund the government, and they all fell in line, and the market dumped.
And he is clear he doesn’t care what the bill says. He is against it.
This is where we are. He says jump, they say how high.

The price of GOP rule? Failing infrastructure at every point. Missourians pay an extra $700 a year for car maintenance. Wheels, tires, windshields, alignments. We pay.
From bad roads to defunded schools to closing hospitals, this is oligarchy. Skimping on services to send tax breaks to the wealthy.
