When modern Christians say “it’s not the government’s job to help the poor,” they’re not echoing Jesus, Paul, the prophets, or the early church.
They’re echoing figures like Ayn Rand, who despised Christianity’s communal ethic of compassion and called altruism a “moral evil.”

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine,"
That's... usually not the case!
In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using.
We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that?

Hegseth's insistence that 'Department of War' fake-name-change is about 'warriors' and 'warfighters' is the dumbest s*** I think I have ever heard.
The guys that created the Department of Defense in 1947 - in NINETEEN FORTY-SEVEN - had done more warfighting than Trump's entire cabinet put together.

I have read Trump’s “war department” EO.
This is nothing. He changed nothing. He added pretend secondary titles with no power under the law.
He will make the government spend hundreds of millions for vanity labeling purposes.
If you’re in the media and you don’t harp on that, you’re failing.

Effective demagogues don't just make issues up out of thin air. They take real concerns and twist them to suit their dishonest purposes. That's why the challenge is you can't just wave away what they're talking about. You have to contend with the real issue while unmasking their distortion of it.

Ohio parents of kids with disabilities are receiving letters from the school board demanding they pay “extra” for their disabled children.
This is ableism and discrimination at its finest.
They weren’t even given adequate warning. Just 17 days to pay up.
