“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.” ⚓️

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo?

I talked to him yesterday.

He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

AG Pam Bondi was unprofessional and partisan, but most importantly, she was evasive, refusing to answer good questions she didn’t like.

Fortunately, Adam Schiff kept the receipts. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Yes, a convicted felon was elected president, is suddenly a believer in law and order, though he's not done his own time in prison yet and doesn't plan on doing any, was born to an immigrant, married to an immigrant, with immigrant children, yet hates immigrants, vowes to protect women yet EPSTEIN!

Can Portland residents file a class action lawsuit against Fox News? It seems like there was a direct connection between their misleading and inaccurate coverage of Portland and Rump sending in armed forces -

A national political party could just send a bunch of electeds to Portland for a weekend to look around, with cameras following them. I mean, national news outlets could also do this, but OK.

Republicans are Christians in Name Only

Meme with man deciding between two big red buttons. The first button is labelled "Send aid to Gaza where more than 20,000 children have died". The second button reads "Send the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, where NO ONE IS DYING." The bottom frame shows a man stressed about choosing between the two buttons. He is a Republican, aka Christians in name only.

The executive branch is one of three COEQUAL branches of government in America.

Until we get rid of this Dictator & this SCOTUS that enables his tyranny, you live in Russia.

Exclamation point.
