Something for Christian apologists to chew on:
Quite a lot of the gospel involved Jesus dealing people who use performative piety to be selfish, authoritarian and harmful while defending spending time with a moral underclass.
Can you please stop saying that such people are not "real Christians".

Here’s the thing, if they are picking up folks working in the country illegally, I’m going to need to see some white guys also being arrested for employing people working illegally in the country.
Otherwise, it’s just racism.

I've already heard some of my more conservative friends and family members tell me about friends who lost jobs and pensions (months away from retirement) and worry about others who might. Firing park rangers also appears to be universally unpopular.
most people know someone who works for the federal government in some capacity
and even the assholes who think all federal employees are moochers tend to make a personal exception for their buddy Jim
everyone is going to hear stories of how cruel and capricious this is

im probably just being optimistic but it feels more and more like this strategy of rather indiscriminately and smugly firing a shitload of Americans who serve their country and don’t do political jobs will probably just start pissing off ppl who don’t pay attention to politics.

This administration has never been about religious freedom. It's about giving right-wing, evangelical, white nationalists power.
If Lutherans, Episcopalians, and Catholics are "not Christian enough" to be safe, you can be sure Mormons aren't either. 1/

Not enough people are talking about the United States' moral obligation to undocumented immigrants and all the refugees on our southern border.

As Jesus famously said, Love thy neighbor a bit less than thyself
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

Keep hearing people say “2020s America is becoming 1930s Germany.”
Ok but 1930s Hitler sent his lawyers to USA to learn how U.S. Govt enforced Jim Crow laws & reported back that the American system is too extreme—even for Nazis.😳
Fact is 2020s USA is becoming 1920s USA—It’s what MAGA always meant.
