MAGA represents the opposite of every one of these qualities.
What would happen if Christians stopped associating with people calling themselves Christian that didn’t embody these?

Because (and I really need you to understand this) there is NO ONE who can enforce the court order.

The executive branch enforces the law!!

When the executive branch is corrupt, there's NO ONE to make Trump comply!
"Did Trump just defy a court order?"

YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS!

WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

So here’s the thing about AI: unregulated, its use is like having a monopoly on social regulation and control. This is why it’s a very big deal that Elon just quietly deployed it in an authoritative way within our government system.

Doing Christianity while trying to avoid all politics is a political decision.

It aids the status quo — those systems and power currently in power.

(As if religion and politics can be separated.)

Don’t know why it’s so hard for so many to face the facts about Trump being a Russian asset. Everybody in NYC and NJ has known about his money laundering for Russians forever.

Honestly, I'd love to see other House Dems devote some of their floor time just to calling Musk a dick, over and over and over again.

It'll highlight the Trump effort to crack down on protected speech, emasculate Ed Martin and completely enrage Elon Musk.
After DOGE hearing, where @robertgarcia.bsky.social called Musk a "dick," Politico wrote "Dems fail to land viral moment at DOGE hearing"

Since then, Nancy Mace wants to censure Garcia for calling Musk a dick and asshole acting DC US Atty reminded us that Garcia called Musk a dick

keep it up!
So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

You never imagine the descent into despotism being quite this embarrassing, you know? You expect liberal democracy to fall to a Palpatine, not Biff Tannen.
Trump on DOGE: We’re going to go into Fort Knox to make sure the gold is still there. You know that? We’re going to go into Fort Knox. You know about that? We hope everything is fine with Fort Knox. But we’re going to go to Fort Knox and make sure the gold is still there.

Planes are crashing because Trump and Musk wanted to cut their own taxes even more.

Say it over and over and over again until it sinks into people's brains and they correctly associate every crash with two billionaires who never fly commercial.
“There are currently four people remaining over there to do the work of 15 people. The danger to the national airspace can’t be understated."

"This is a very real threat to the American flying public.”

It turns out that MLK’s arc bending toward justice actually bends toward whiteness.
2/ Martin King Jr's arc does bend toward justice and standing in the way is the church of whiteness.

It wants political power, but it can't have it if everyone is level.

use the church. They lost "Ham" after the Civil War. They lost seperate but equal (tower of babel) after the Civil rights act +

Where do people hear god saying his church could baptize injustice and cruelty? The most prevalent command old or new is to Love others as your self. Jesus says Love your enemies.

A church that defends hierarchies and capitalism, and moralizes cruelty to doctrinalize it as correct. +
There is already lots of hate for immigrants, minorities, women, queer folks in America, but man do people get excited when they think that God told them to hate via the church.

Religion is used by the powerful to get millions to ignore their own consciences and to harm, hate and fear others.

What’s the best way to spread virulent white supremacy and Nazi ideology?

…Talk continually about censorship and free speech while banning books, policies and speech around discrimination and hate.

Of curse! -> not only are they being told they don't have to feel guilty about their hatred, they're learning that their hatred has God's sanction, and they're learning to revel in it.

Complacency of the privileged makes God go silent.
It’s remarkable how God is answering all the prayers of arrogant white men right now.

Why is God not answering the prayers of black women or queer folks?

There's a lot of discussion around whether or not liquidating public resources in a fascist bureaucratic coup is "legal." I think that asks the wrong question. My latest:
Is It Legal?
Deferring to power and authority leads inevitably to autocracy.
