Paul was jailed for healing because the system protected oppression. The gospel still calls us to confront injustice and push for change. Where is someone being crushed today—and what bold, Christ‑shaped action can you take? Acts 16 #churchtoons #christian #evangelical

Why won't GOP lawmakers abandon Trump? Look to Indiana. www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... The way he threatens them, I don't get why they don't turn on him & get a sane person in the Oval & the felon the hell out. Shows they're stupid too.

The term " #BottomThird " is a good catch-all for the various demographic types making up the Trump 33% core, such as: #MAGA, #ChristianNationalists, #Cultists, #FakeChristians, #AutomaticRepublicans, #Fascists, #NeoNazis, #Qanon, and all the others that are at home in the basket of deplorables.

It's a low-bar to clear, but give #Trump credit for being smarter than all of his true-believers. Think about it. How stupid must a #MAGA be to have been conned for years by the toddler-level lies of the Imbecile-in-Chief? Dumb #BottomThird of the US population is dragging the rest of us to ruin.

Fascist #GOP "public servants" are willing co-conspirators with #Trump, as are those far below-average people voting for the regime. None of them have an excuse. They're just bad people, and should be treated as such. "Have nothing to do with such people." 2 Timothy 3-5 #ChristianLiving #Christian

#Trump Regime and Vichy #GOP Midterm Strategy: Cheat, steal, kill, persecute, intimidate, lie, maim, imprison, prosecute, impoverish, and commit all kinds of immoral crimes and atrocities against all people, but falsely make the blasphemous claim it's all to restore Christianity. #AntiChrist #vote

#Christianity "No Justice, No Peace" isn't just a slogan. It's a moral & civic duty. There's a season for everything, a time for a nice dinner with friends, and a time to flip tables over. The sin of omission is failing to do required seasonal work out of laziness or cowardice. makeagif.com/i/SGTm1u

So easy to get distracted by the world and it’s messages of hate and discrimination #prayer

"In a world full of troubles and difficulties, our biggest problem is our own sin. Sometimes, even to think of the mercy of God only adds to our realisation of how sinful we are, because how can we explain why we continue to rebel against the Lord our God who is so full of mercies and forgiveness?"

A majority of the Supreme Court justices, Trump, MAGA, and the GOP have no intention of abiding by or even allowing free and fair elections this November. This is a given. The question is, what are loyal Americans willing and ready to do about it at the appropriate time? #GeorgiaElections ominous.

If I had a nickel for every time I wanted to stand up in court and say, "Your Honor, you are truly an incompetent, corrupt piece of shit, and I can't believe such an illogical dolt actually got through law school, or hasn't yet been defrocked and disbarred." This would have been one of those times.

All war is a crime, unless it is a "just war." The difficult complexities comprising the elements of conducting a #JustWar include consideration of what is required of the winner afterward. #Ethics #War #TrumpStupidity is illustrative.

Well done #ElizabethWarren. 💡But why not introduce a bill with the exact same amount that provides for hardening schools' security against mass shooters and make the Republicans vote against it? (Which they certainly would do because their motivations for being in Congress are as wicked as sin.)

Rare birds still exist. So, tell your clueless, automatic-Republican-voting, but seemingly decent neighbors, whom you think aren't fascists, that they are voting for a ghost party. Then you will be 100% they know what they are doing and you will 100% sure of whether to jettison them. #AvoidEvil

“I have many thoughtful friends who are depressed about the state of the world. I am less depressed than they are because I believe history reveals a pattern that leaves reason for hope.” —Danny Hillis #democracy #fascism #tyrant

They couldn’t make the first indictment stick. So they’re back for round two on Comey. This isn’t justice. This is a regime using the DOJ as a personal grudge machine. And you’re paying for the spectacle.

The Trump DOJ reportedly indicted former FBI Director James Comey over his social media post featuring seashells forming the number "8647."

It helps to think of every Trump appointee at DOJ as a contestant in a reality show. They have to keep providing Daddy dopamine hits or they'll get fired.

Census errors were made under the first #Trump administration, not under Biden's. I despise Biden, but the Trump regime's easily disproved lies are ever more bald-faced and absurd, and must be pointed out. Lies meant only for Trump's idiotic "Cult30%", they don't care if we remaining 70% disbelieve

Is the Golden Ball Room actually the prophesied end-times rebuilding of the Temple? Is #Trump building the "Anti-Temple"? Does the Bible state that the last Temple must be built on the Temple Mount, or did we mistakenly assume that what was meant? #MAGAcult might welcome moving it to 'Merica #NotGod

#politics #government #elections "...investing in the shared spaces for our communities is not a niche issue — it serves every voter and has proven to be a winning bipartisan message."

So 8675.309 is okay, but saying or writing 8647.000 is a federal offense? Is it because the 309 is missing? Seems like a new protest song to me. #WeirdAl, you have a special gift. Can you help out with this? Perhaps, something like "🎼8-,4-, now's a good ti-i-ime, -6,-7, now's a good time 🎶" #Tyrant

Well played Ms O'Donnell 👏👏

Sins of omission exist. I've spent my adult life studying the often complex and narrow margins between virtue and vice and how the law relates to them. Sometimes, for the greater good, an ethical duty requires breaking rules, civil disobedience, and even using normally banned physical interventions.

Any rhetoric that rids the world of evil despots serves the common good.

Do you and your fellow journalists think twice about normalizing this psychopath, Dana?
