BREAKING: Trump’s ICE bans Christians and all people from praying “in front of or inside” the Broadview ICE facility.
So, forced prayer in school is good, but volunteer prayer for the prisoner is banned.
This is what white nationalist Christianity looks like. This is Trump’s fascist America. Smh.

Christianity, as I knew it growing up, insisted that the sins of our fathers were not to be ignored because of the tendency for them to be repeated and because of the lasting impact they can have on generations of people.
In Oklahoma, some teachers show a Prager U video of a cartoon Booker T. Washington telling students not to feel bad about slavery, echoing a conservative talking point. “Future generations are never responsible for the sins of the past.” @jsmithrichards.bsky.social
This Is Ground Zero in the Conservative Quest for More Patriotic and Christian Public Schools
Oklahoma has spent years reshaping public schools to integrate lessons about Jesus and encourage pride in America’s history. By the time the second Trump administration began espousing its “America Fi...

The world will be destroyed by two things, it seems to me: greed and violence... That’s why great spiritual teachers will always teach you to live a simple life, to not take more than your share, so that communion and community, brotherhood and sisterhood, are possible.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.
They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥
Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.
