“Christian” Nationalists????? No. They are the antithesis of what it is to be Christian. Christianity requires us to welcome the foreigner in our lands. It teaches that the greatest sin of all is an unkind word.

Let’s take our nation and faith back from these charlatans

Its a Steve Miller Policy. He spoke about this a few times in interviews or op-ed's. The theory is if they can stop the undocumented pregnant women from having the baby on American soil so they don't get their birth right citizenship.

This Admins cruelty is the point of their immigration policy. But ultimately all of this is due to the far right/project2025's "Great Replacement Theory" they don't care who they are taking or what they've done...they're getting rid of anyone they can that's not white!

The landscapers at my very large apartment complex in Oceanside California are no longer on the job. They are afraid to go to work! The complex looks very bad now and I’m going to move out when my lease is up. I miss our sweet, efficient, hard working landscapers!

We need MASSIVE, WEEKLY NO KINGS style rallies. We may soon need general strikes. We need to ensure these bastards hear us and heed us. They answer to US!!!! If they avoid us….we shall speak LOUDER!!!

"Most Americans are not cruel." How many is enough? Look back on our own history or so many more recent examples! WE CANNOT LEAN ON "AMERICANS ARE NOT CRUEL". REALLY???!!!

Most Americans are NOT cruel. The problem???? Far too many ARE.

Kindness is in short supply here. We can resist by extending kindness every day. Hold a door, say thank you to the Grocery clerk, help a MAGA change a tire on the side of the road and be sure to tell em you disagree with their politics but refuse to see them as an enemy and expect the same. These are the opposite of microaggressions and combined with No Kings rallies and the like, we CAN pull a few back from the brink.

I get as pissed off as any person hearing MAGAs spout their shit. But we need to defeat the rhetoric they’ve been sold and we accomplish that by SHOWING them what Americans are and are expected to be by leading by example in small teachable moments. We may never see them transform from our kindness….we are planting trees whose shade we may never see. This is but one tactic in a diversity of tactics campaign that CAN make a difference.

It is important that we retain our humanity despite the efforts of politicians and big media that try to sew discord in our midst, try to dehumanize us so that we will obey them or commit heinous atrocity for them.

A major problem is that so MANY are happy that "others" are afraid to attend church. Right? That was one aspect of what "they" wanted!

I know that you know this new practice of masked / unidentified ICE actions are inviting crooks to take advantage. Right? And that is not a "side-effect", but a major "feature" of the general terrorism.

So many other examples, and, sadly, yes, this is now who "we" are or at least are becoming or are for sure tolerating.

Sorry to tell u ...but I have seen this in America for as long as I have been on this earth.(Candian).. America has always thought they were above everyone else. We have watched America walk around like u were the greatest thing since sliced bread. I hope now u can look in a mirror & admit the racism in America has always been there , then change it. If u care, just to let u know that u aren't just taking yourself down but you are hurting us. As a Canadian the anger I feel is real! There are 57 Canadians in your concentration camps somewhere. Your king is trying to take us over. IT WON'T HAPPEN!!!! We are all paying for America's dangerous king.

I hope that you are correct about these people, but some many just plain don't care because they love trump. I do share and share and share and pray that people will start getting their empathy back.
