I have been on media almost everywhere (locally) but here about this- let me give you an update about our work to protect a public park, an ecologically significant beach area, from being developed into a golf course.

Antigonish.
Just sounds like it’s looking for a fight.
It’s like they are just daring Gonish’s to try something…

The Christian right for decades has fear-mongered that federal agents (under Dem presidents) would "criminalize" Christianity and literally prevent them from worshipping.
Now that Trump's stormtroopers are doing it ... crickets

Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”

WATCH — @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social : "The reason for the Trump 2028 stuff is people don't know what to do after Trump. Those marginal voters he turns out are Trump-only voters, and Trump spent the last 10 years telling them they can only trust him and not the Republican Party."

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

Best case: The President of the United States knew about a pedophilia ring and did nothing to stop it.
Medium case: He also used his office to protect the perpetrators.
Worst case: Because he was one of the perpetrators.
