Again, read what the Bible says about how foreigners should be treated. Compare it to what this administration is doing. Could not possibly be further from what supposed “Christians” should support.
Joaquin Castro@joaquincastrotx.bsky.social · yesterdayFour weeks after giving birth, Adela Nohemy Castellanos was torn from her newborn son and family. Today, she and her daughter Sofia are still locked away at the Dilley Trailer Prison. I’m going to Dilley this week to see Adela and Sofia, and push for their release.
Sadly he's far from alone in this regime. In this case, however, it's the US Attorney for the Eastern District of NC, which covers where I live:
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 11h agoEugenicist ideas have kept a toehold on the darkest white-supremacist fringes of the right—a fringe that has burst back into the mainstream during the Trump era.
Exactly the kind of ridiculous, unhinged demand you make when things are going swimmingly:

It takes a special kind of sociopath to marry a South Asian woman, then turn around and embrace blood-and-soil white nationalism:
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · 2d agoVance: "We have to understand what happens when our nation gives in to these kinds of people, to young men with zero attachment to its land or to its history...The desire to destroy rather than the desire to build, that exact same cancer is what has corrupted Abdul El-Sayed writ large."

It’s not clear exactly how many people are represented by the word “Many” means in Matthew 7:21-23. But what IS clear is that there are a lot of people who call themselves Christians … And are very performative and vocal about their supposed faith … And who call Jesus “Lord” … Are going to Hell.
The logic of a depraved predator. Something Trump has shown himself to be in his personal life:

This video aptly summarizes the difference between the Democrat-led Popular Front vs. MAGA:
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 5d agoThis supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...
typical Obama elitism, the majority of Americans look up to Saddam Hussein as a role model
