"Republicans slipped a provision into their big spending bill that would limit the power of federal judges to hold people in contempt, potentially allowing Trump and his administration to violate court orders without consequence."

We will never vote or legislate our way out of a fight that is largely outside the sphere of politics and is now current real and in our lives. ♥️🤍💙

“Wait for the midterms…” We refuse. That’s too late. History has shown this to be a poor decision for multiple reasons. Try again. 🤔 They’re here. NOW

More Christians need to speak out against the use of their religion to destroy American democracy. But authoritarianism in any form, even Christianity, is still authoritarianism. Know what you believe.
Christians have freedom of religion, same as the rest of us. To choose any belief system, or NOT choose one.

But if you endorse or ignore obvious legal and ethical violations that use Christianity as a cover - without speaking out - you're a coward, not a Christian.

Jesus wouldn't approve.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life.

Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

When the media points out Trump’s “potential conflicts of interest,” as it has in recent days when describing Trump’s growing crypto enterprise, it doesn’t come close to telling the public what’s really going on.

The correct word is corruption. robertreich.substack.com/p/dont-call-...
Don’t call them “potential conflicts of interest.”
They’re corruption.
