Faithful America

Hundreds of thousands of Christians acting for love and social justice, challenging Christian nationalism's hijacking of Jesus's name.

GEO Group made $254 million in profit last year. CoreCivic made $116.5 million. Both are company profit records, and both come from caging our neighbors. Meanwhile, the people inside are fed maggot-ridden food, denied medical care, and forced to work for $1 a day.

Trump was asked point-blank if he'd send ICE and troops to polling places in November. His answer: "I'd do anything necessary." Federal law has banned this since Reconstruction. His own DHS won't rule it out either.

Was America founded as a Christian nation? No. And the founders left a paper trail proving it. Article VI of the Constitution: "No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." Revolutionary for its time.

"The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God." James Talarico explains why following Jesus means rejecting Christian nationalism and choosing love over domination. That's a conversation every Christian should hear.

Pete Hegseth has a new nickname for the Pentagon: "the High-T Department of War." His new policy screens every service member 30 and older for low testosterone, then offers free hormone therapy, on the taxpayer's dime.

Two fathers are dead this month, killed by ICE. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 35 years in Houston, shot by an ICE agent on his way to a job site. His sons just want the truth. Joan Sebastian Guerrero, shot in Maine, leaves behind a wife and a little girl. We will not stop telling the truth.

A pastor whose church counts the Secretary of Defense as a member just called women "vessels" for reproduction. This is not a fringe view - it's reaching the halls of power. We follow a Jesus who saw women as full disciples, not incubators.  This is not Christianity. This is Christian Nationalism.

Voters should choose our leaders. Not the other way around. Right now, a Jim Crow-era playbook is back with new barriers, fewer ballots, and quieter voices. We're not having it. July 17-19, join the "Good Trouble Lives On" Weekend of Action.

528 beds. For migrant children and families. That's ICE's plan for England Air Park in Alexandria, LA — the same base where our ED watched people marched past a golf course in chains this spring. Board hasn't approved it yet. This is our window. 🧵

Texas is forcing the Bible into public schools. Last month, the Republican-controlled Texas State Board of Education voted 9-5, mostly along party lines, to force the Bible into the education of roughly 5.5 million public school students.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court holds that the Fourteenth Amendment protects birthright citizenship, blocking Donald Trump's executive order to end it. Roberts has the opinion for the court, which is 5-4 on the constitutional question and 6-3 on whether federal law protects birthright citizenship.

This weekend, the Faith & Freedom Coalition platformed a parade of Cabinet & Congress members & false prophets who have pulpited the lie that to be a good Christian is to be a good MAGA foot soldier. We were there, circling their "Road to Majority" conference, publicly naming these false prophets.

Notice how it’s always “the Bible must inform our laws!” until it says, “When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself.” -Leviticus 19:33-34
