Boyertown, PA, showing up. Yes, it was small. 40 people. But Boyertown is a very MAGA town and this was a significant turnout for our borough. #handsoff #nokings #noking #50501NoKing

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you.
If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you.
We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

For many US Citizens, the past 2-3 months has been very chaotic and troubling. If you are one of those for which it is not, please move along. This article is not for you and I do not have the emotional or mental energy to deal with you at this time.

"Christians" like to claim that Matthew 25s parable of the sheep and goats doesn't apply to non-Christians. What they miss is the "judgment of the nations". In other words, non-Israelites/non-believers will be held to these standards. Let's hold our government accountable to "the least of these".

This is pure evil. The guy who posted this (I know him personally) is a DIRECTOR of regional Habitat for Humanity and has been internationally present as well. This isn't rumor. This is real.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.
i mean, the president's executive order isn't a goddamn law! as far as this doctor is concerned, who cares what the president says!
A New York City doctor said he will continue providing gender-affirming treatments to his patients younger than 19 despite President Donald Trump’s executive order aiming to ban such care.

Sen. Josh Hawley rebukes Vance and allies for suggesting that court orders should be disobeyed. Great to see a GOP senator speaking out against this anti-American idea.

We are actually living in a time where some Christians see mercy as offensive, empathy as a sin, and diversity, equity, and inclusion as a threat.
