A Christianity that causes the hungry to go without food, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be mistreated, and God’s creation to be ravaged, all while the greedy and cruel satisfy their every desire, is a Christianity that can no longer claim to follow Christ.

The arrogant disregard of critical thinking, painstaking research, and humble discernment has been rebranded as “common sense.”

“He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty.” -Mary, the mother of Jesus in the gospel according to Luke (1:53) Now compare this with the actions of those in power who claim to follow Mary’s son.

TWELVE STATEMENTS THAT SURELY WOULD HAVE BEEN DISMISSED AS “TDS” IF THE DEMOCRATS HAD EVEN IMAGINED THEM DURING THE 2024 CAMPAIGN New blog post: open.substack.com/pub/dreamwea...

My recent article: open.substack.com/pub/benjamin...

IF you voted blue in every election, keep going If you voted occasionally, vote in every election, vote blue If you voted irregularly, voted in different ways for different reasons, _recognize the United States needs you to be a SUPER VOTER_; vote every time, vote blue If you voted for the GOP...🧵

... severed economic aid to Colombia in a tantrum, threatened to crack down on NYC, announced drug prices would be coming down "500 percent," claimed Pete Buttigieg tried to fix the air traffic system with "glass wire," and committed probably a dozen other crimes we've already forgotten about.

... threatened to invade every state in the US, renewed his conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and vowed his people would prevent it from happening "again," bragged about illegally slashing programs Democrats like, said he would send disaster relief to a state because it voted for him ...

... called several African American politicians "low IQ," called all Democrats terrorists, insisted the 7 million Americans who protested his regime were all paid, showed a video of him flying a jet and dropping shit all over them, sent $40 billion to Argentina to prop up a fellow dipshit tyrant ...

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

A Christianity that believes it needs a president, legislation and a government to ensure its survival is a Christianity that is centered on the worship of its own power rather than faithfully relying on the power of God. God is just its mascot for its political ideology

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public" - Theodore Roosevelt

Notice how it’s always, “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it comes to the +2,000 verses in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

Republicans are getting their ‘ban’ without having to call it a ‘ban.’

For weeks, Trump & the MAGA collective claimed #NoKings would be a crime-ridden hell scape and it turns out there are no reports of any protestors being arrested. All the crimes reported so far are all by MAGA like here:

Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again? I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale. That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

ICYMI: Our staff covered four of the No Kings protests Saturday, in Birmingham, Montgomery, Oxford and Selma. Here are their dispatches.

The lying liars who lie are really losing their shit over #NoKings. That should be reason enough for us to go. Saturday. Everywhere. Go, and ask everyone you know to go. 👉 nokings.org/#map

One of the articles of impeachment against Nixon was based on this and Congress had hearings when Obama's IRS looked into right (and left!) wing groups to confirm they were eligible for non-profit, tax-exempt status. Media shrugs.

Holy shit! This is New York City. No ID, doesn't identify himself, trying to kidnap a passenger... Who are these fucking Nazis? 😳👇

Many of us grew up in the church being taught to root for Moses, Daniel, and John the Baptist in the Bible, only to grow up and have our churches question our faith for not cheering on the Pharaohs, Nebuchadnezzars, and Herods in our world today.

I know Trump and his minions all have sneering contempt for kids with special needs, but trust me when I say that their parents will absolutely fucking destroy anyone who messes with the special education supports to which they are entitled by law.

Jimmy Kimmel called him “Donnie-llama” in his monologue and I’m still laughing. Norway is preparing for his attack…

I found the war on Christianity

ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL TACKLING A JOURNALIST TO THE GROUND LIKE THIS IS OBSCENE.

James Talarico: We have politicians who have ‘Christ follower’ in their Twitter bios, but they are kicking the sick off health care. It's estimated 51,000 Americans will die needlessly if these GOP cuts go through. That's 51,000 flesh and blood human beings. That’s a moral crime

It doesn’t matter what your politics are regarding immigration. If they do not begin and end with human beings needing to be treated with dignity and respect, especially when it comes to the enforcement of the law, your politics are wrong.

Trump is illegally bombing boats w/zero evidence in foreign waters. He just bombed Iran after tearing up a peace deal Iran was complying with. He’s down w/ethnic cleansing of Gaza. He’s deploying armed troops into US cities & lying abt why. He doesn’t care about “peace.” He cares about a prize.

Trump has already started ignoring due process, now he's attacking the courts that enforce it

Rep. Clark: Speaker Johnson said we have an eternity to deal with health care. No, we don't. They took away the tax credits that help people pay for premiums. They chose to spend that money on permanent tax credits for billionaires. Families are finding out that their premiums are about to double

Justice Kavanaugh must be proud.

Well that's ominous. Wonder if this republican can put pressure on the other republicans who have closed down the government?
