Some mainline denominations — including my own (PCUSA) — may find some of these numbers surprising.

Here's how a bunch of majority white denominations voted in 2024.

The only one where a clear majority voted for Harris?
The Episcopal Church.

At least three quarters of Assemblies of God, Southern Baptists, and non-denominationals supported Trump.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head.

He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison.

Bring them back!
Jenny Cohn @jennycohn.bsky.social "One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, I'm not a gang member. I'm gay. I'm a barber.' I believed him. *** He "began to whimper," as his head was roughly shaved, "folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell." He "asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again." Photo of Andry featured on MSNBC. Chyron reads: IMMIGRATION ATTY. SAYS ASYLUM-SEEKING CLIENT WAS DEPORTED BECAUSE OF MISREADING OF TATTOOS A photo of Andry’s wrists showing his “mom” and “dad” tattoos. Each has a crown above them, which ICE thought made him a gang member. A photo of Andry having his head shaved in El Salvador, his hands clasped together in prayer.

Fragile white men afraid of women ,DEI, trans people, education, and vaccines have wiped people's futures and safety net out. And all the folks who want this whiteness who voted for Trump helped them.

An emotional and financial deadbeat manipulator who has the nerve to fashion his mouth against the ordinary Americans who worked hard their entire lives and paid into a fund to ensure they would have subsistence to live on in their old age.

Stand up Americans.

Ashley St. Clair, the mother of Elon Musk’s 13th child, responds to his post.

This comes after she says she was forced to sell the Tesla he gifted her because he had cut child support significantly.
Elon Musk & @elonmusk • 1h I don't know if the child is mine or not, but am not against finding out. No court order is needed. Despite not knowing for sure, I have given Ashley $2.5M and am sending her $500k/year. 17 3.3K • 19K Ill 793K 贝 企 Ashley St. Clair @stclairashley Elon, we asked you to confirm paternity through a test before our child (who you named) was even born. You refused. And you weren't sending *me* money, you were sending support for your child that you thought was necessary... until you withdrew most of it to maintain control and punish me for "disobedience." But you're really only punishing your son. It's ironic that your last effort in court was to try to gag me while you use a social media channel you literally own to distribute derogatory messages about me and our child to the entire world. It's all about control with you, and everyone can see it. America needs you to grow up, you petulant man-child.

Not to brag but I may be the dumbest person you'll ever meet, yet it seems like the smart thing to do would be to abolish for profit private prisons and ICE, and work with Mexico and Central America to help these humans that are just trying to have a better life.
